Starbucks Reveals Holiday Hello Kitty Collection

When Starbucks unveils its holiday lineup, fans expect cozy cups, shimmering tumblers, and a wave of warm nostalgia. But this year, the coffee giant has outdone itself. Teaming up with Sanrio’s beloved Hello KittyStarbucks has created a limited-edition collection that blends kawaii charm with the coffeehouse’s iconic holiday magic.

Launching November 6 across the US and Canada, the Starbucks x Hello Kitty Collection brings an irresistible mix of whimsy and warmth. With cheerful reds, Starbucks greens, and that unmistakable bow, the collaboration arrives just in time for the gifting season, inviting fans to sip, smile, and celebrate friendship in the cutest way possible.

Hello Kitty x Starbucks is a Friendship Brewed in Nostalgia

Few partnerships feel as natural as Starbucks and Hello Kitty. Both brands were born in the 1970s and have since grown into global icons that are symbols of comfort, connection, and creativity. Hello Kitty’s message of friendship and kindness blends effortlessly with Starbucks’ reputation for bringing people together over a shared cup.

The collaboration captures that nostalgic energy, transforming everyday coffee rituals into moments of joy. From the signature red bow to the playful “Together in Fun Forever” tagline, every design detail radiates warmth. Starbucks’ Director of US Merchandise called it a celebration of joy across generations, and that is exactly how it feels: timeless, welcoming, and unmistakably cute.

Even the collection’s plush Hello Kitty wears a mini Starbucks apron, reminding fans that kindness never goes out of style. It is a clever touch that connects Sanrio’s world of sweetness with Starbucks’ familiar culture of community, one plush toy, mug, or tumbler at a time.

The Cutest Holiday Hello Kitty Drop of the Year

This collaboration is not just a visual treat, it is a collector’s dream. The lineup features must-have items like a ceramic mug topped with a red silicone bow, a stainless-steel cold cup perfect for venti-sized holiday drinks, and a travel-ready water bottle inscribed with the cheerful message, “Together in Fun Forever.”

The 24-ounce clear tumbler and 12-ounce stainless-steel tumbler showcase Hello Kitty alongside her teddy bear, Tiny Chum, surrounded by coffee beans and stars. Each piece feels like a cozy blend of festive energy and Sanrio sweetness, designed to brighten even the darkest winter morning.

No Starbucks collaboration would be complete without gift cards, and these might be the most adorable yet. Fans can choose between standard or Hello Kitty-shaped cards, making every coffee run a little more magical. Whether customers are shopping for a lifelong fan or treating themselves, this collection promises to make every sip feel like a small act of joy.

With its mix of nostalgia, style, and heart, the Starbucks x Hello Kitty collection perfectly captures the season’s spirit. Available for a limited time starting November 6, it is the perfect excuse to grab a latte, wrap a bow, and let a little kawaii cheer warm up your holiday.
