# Anniversary-Celebrating Calendars Sanrio Introduces a New Collection of 2024 Calendar Downloads By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calendar-downloads References: [community.designtaxi](https://community.designtaxi.com/topic/5529-sanrio-releases-free-calendar-downloads-as-part-of-hello-kittys-50th/)  Sanrio continues to celebrate Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary with a collection of 2024 calendar downloads that can be accessed for free. There are still a few months to enjoy the calendars before 2025 is rung in. The calendars are printable and every month is represented by a different Sanrio character with a signature look. The company has been showcasing these digital prints online and it is being playfully dubbed as a "friend of the month." October stars Kuromi as her birthday is on Haloween -- she wears Hello Kitty's iconic blue overalls and red bow. Each print is detailed with fun accents and each month spotlights a special day including 'National Noodle Day,' for example.
