What’s better than one pop icon? Two!
Sanrio®, the global lifestyle brand behind Hello Kitty, is thrilled to announce that the most supercute superstar is teaming up once again with Grammy Award-winning artist Bruno Mars for a show-stopping collaboration that’s sure to spread smiles.
In honor of Hello Kitty’s 50th Anniversary and the opening of Bruno Mars‘ holiday residency on December 18 at Dolby Live at Park MGM, the duo is coming together to delight fans with merch, themed food and drink specials, and an adorable Hello Kitty meet-and-greet experience on December 18th.
Available for the month of December, fans can get their hands on the Hello Kitty x Bruno Mars collection of merchandise, featuring a fusion of Hello Kitty’s iconic charm and Bruno Mars’ signature style. This limited edition lineup showcases one-of-a-kind new Hello Kitty and Bruno Mars graphics in Sanrio’s signature Japanese kawaii style, with the cutest ever pair on t-shirts, sweatshirts, bags, water bottles, and more. While most items are available at the Park MGM and outside the Bruno Mars concert entrance, the exclusive water bottle and t-shirt can only be found at the Hello Kitty Cafe Kiosk at The Park MGM.
Hello Kitty Cafe at The Park MGM is also debuting two exclusive menu items to celebrate this iconic pairing, available in December. Fans can indulge in the Hello Kitty ♥ Bruno Mars Cookie, a sweet chocolate or vanilla shortbread cookie topped with icing featuring kawaii style character graphics. Pair the cookie with a Mars Mocha, a decadent brown sugar coffee drink topped with whipped cream and brown sugar crumble available hot or iced in a custom Hello Kitty x Bruno Mars cup sleeve.
On December 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., fans can join Hello Kitty herself for a special Bruno Mars-themed meet-and-greet ahead of the Bruno Mars concert at the Hello Kitty Cafe at The Park MGM. Fans can snap shareable photos in front of a specialized backdrop, shop merchandise from the collaboration, and sample special menu items. The first 50 fans in line will receive a special goody bag filled with exclusive Hello Kitty Cafe and Sanrio products.
