[Oatly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handels-ice-cream-and-oatly) has joined forces with [Malibu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malibu-pink) to create a collaborative product infused with the essences of both brands. Their collaboration has birthed the 'Piña Oatlada,' a piña colada-flavored soft-serve ice cream. This inventive dessert represents a notable expansion of Oatly’s product line as the brand ventures into cross-industry collaborations and frozen treats while maintaining its [dairy and soy-free standards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series).

In addition to this innovative soft-serve treat, Oatly and Malibu have launched an exclusive, limited-edition merchandise collection that complements the Piña Oatlada release. This unique collection features acrylic visors, playful socks, and casual T-shirts. The highlight of the merchandise is an eye-catching, edible goblet in sandy hues, which not only serves as a vessel for the Piña Oatlada but also adds a fun, interactive element to the summer treat.
