Father Christmas???

Creative today is a photo of something for sale in the cereal department in the shop. Father Christmas on Kellogg's Cornflakes...in July! Checked the manufacture date, a year ago, best before date is September 2022.
Norman Rockwell? He was an American painter.

Are food shops scraping the bottom of the barrel to fill their shelves?
My questions are -
Where has it been stored?
In what conditions?
Was it on a container ship bound for somewhere and this country ended up with it?
And more?

Just googled. Came up with this -
"In 1954, Kellogg's partnered with Rockwell and Leo Burnett to create a series of six portraits for its Corn Flakes packaging. The result was an illustration of post-WWII prosperity: six portraits of children free to enjoy their Corn Flakes, as well as the legendary Santa Claus portrait."

Just seen eBay. Darn. I could've made my fortune. They are selling for £40 plus a packet, and with the cornflakes still in...and these were only £2 a box...

Time for a stiff drink...
And a lie down...
