“Starbucks and Hello Kitty have strong fandoms and deep roots in culture,” said Kap Pitarys, Starbucks’ director of U.S. merchandise, in a release. “Both were born in the ’70s, and this collaboration brings that nostalgic vibe back in a joyful way.”

Sanrio’s SVP of Brand Management, Jill Koch, added that Hello Kitty’s enduring appeal lies in her positivity and universal kindness, themes that align perfectly with the warmth and togetherness of Starbucks’ holiday season.
