Beginning December 22, HEYTEA teamed up with POP MART’s popular Twinkle Twinkle characters to launch a global co-branded winter campaign in HEYTEA stores around the world. Designed for the Christmas and New Year season, the promotion focuses on a cozy winter theme. It features special character designs, limited-edition drinks, themed merchandise, decorated stores, and a pop-up 'Inspiration Bus' experience.
This collaboration is HEYTEA’s first co-branded campaign to launch worldwide simultaneously. It quickly gained attention on social media and is being rolled out across Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao, as well as more than 100 HEYTEA locations in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and other international markets.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Cartoon-themed Beverage Campaigns
- Collaborations between beverage brands and beloved cartoon characters offer engaging customer experiences and broaden brand appeal across diverse demographics.
- Global Co-branded Merchandising
- Companies partnering on a worldwide scale for merchandise initiatives can amplify brand reach and enhance market penetration in new territories.
- Immersive Store Experiences
- Unique in-store and mobile pop-up experiences provide fresh avenues for direct consumer interaction and heightened brand engagement.
Sectors Adopting This
- Beverage Industry
- The infusion of character-themed collaborations within the beverage sector creates novel offerings that entice younger audiences.
- Entertainment Merchandise
- The intersection of entertainment and merchandising through character-branded products provides potential for new partnership models and expanded product lines.
- Retail and Pop-up Markets
- Retail landscapes are evolving with temporary, themed spaces that capture consumer interest and drive foot traffic through experiential marketing.
