In possibly the most bizarre festive publicity stunt of the season, Domino's Pizza is training reindeer to make deliveries.

In Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido this Christmas, reindeer will be battling the cold to get pizzas to Domino's customers.

A Domino's Japan press release given out earlier this month said the pizza company is working with reindeer breeders at the Hokkaido Delivery Integrated Research Center to train them how to deliver pizza.
