Starbucks celebrates Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary (What to know)

Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary has been a huge deal and rightfully so. The character has been a favorite for decades and a lot of brands are cashing in on that.

However, Starbucks and Hello Kitty have worked together in the past which is where the catch comes in for this one. Known as the Starbucks Experience!, this is an experience for all the Hello Kitty lovers out there who live in Starbucks' Asian Pacfic region.

Unfortunately, everything included in this collection isn't available in North America, so all of us living in the United States or Canada have to miss out. It's sad, but sometimes that's how things go. In the press release from Starbucks: "The new Hello Kitty | Starbucks® experience will launch on September 10 across 13 markets in the Asia Pacific region, including Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while supplies last." As you can see, a lot of countries are able to experience this which is awesome.

Even if you're located in the United States like I am, it's still fun to look at the collection and see how Starbucks is celebrating Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary.

The Hello Kitty x Starbucks experience looks like a dream.

If you're headed to Starbucks, you're usually thinking about getting a drink and there are two different Hello Kitty-themed options. First is the Apple Pie Cream Frappucino which is described as: "a velvety-smooth treat reminiscent of a warm kitchen wrapped up in the delicious aroma after baking. The chunky apple sauce base tastes like freshly baked apple pie and is layered with creamy milk and cream frappucino syrup." Oddly enough, it sounds like a very American themed drink which is fun.

The other drink option is a Red Apple Frozen Tea. Once again, Starbucks is killing it with these descriptions: "The refreshing taste of Teavana® Zen Clouds Oolong Tea is a nod to Hello Kitty’s cheerful spirit with the perfect hint of sweetness, while the sweet apple sauce with chunky bits adds a fun texture to engage the senses and prompts memories of the first Autumn breeze." Sounds so perfect on a crisp fall day.

In addition to the drinks, there is a collection of Hello Kitty items to grab including tumblers, mugs, and a plush Hello Kitty wearing a green Starbucks apron. There will also be blind boxes that feature different Hello Kitty-themed cup clips. The other thing of note is that the logo for this collaboration is "Together in Fun Forever," which is just adorable and the perfect motto when it comes to Hello Kitty.
