Just in time for holiday gifting, Starbucks and Hello Kitty are teaming up to bring the season’s most adorable merchandise to Starbucks coffeehouses across Canada, starting Nov. 6, 2025 while supplies last.
Created by the Japanese company Sanrio® in 1974, Hello Kitty has become a cultural phenomenon, capturing the essence of kawaii – the heartfelt Japanese culture of cuteness – and bringing her signature sweetness to everything from lunch boxes and luggage to high fashion and art collaborations.
The exclusive collection features an array of items and collectibles, including a Hello Kitty plush dressed in the iconic Starbucks green apron (and her signature red bow!), alongside her cuddly teddy bear, Tiny Chum.
Hello Kitty Mac & Cheese. She’s an icon and what better way to celebrate her in a dish worthy of her greatness, Mac & Cheese? Our mind was blown that Hello Kitty Pasta exists and we found this in a Japanese Houseware Store (Oomomo). You also can find this online. Something a little fun and comforting to make your day for kids big and small!
