The world's largest Christmas tree is lit up!

December 4, 2024 (Wednesday) 10pm

Safe this year too

In the heart of Manhattan, NY
The giant tree at Rockefeller Center on 5th Avenue has been lit up!



On a 22.6 meter live tree

55,000 LED lights

At the top
It is adorned with 3 million sparkling Swarovski crystal stars.


From now until mid-January

*Sunday - Wednesday 5am - midnight
*Thursday to Saturday: 5am to 1am
*On Christmas Day, the lights will be on for 24 hours.

December 25th is Christmas, a holiday where families get together.

Most of the stores in New York are closed.
Everywhere is silent and silent.

but,
When you come here

It's very warm and lively from morning to night.

Because tourists from all over the world flock here.

Feeling lost and lost,
When you feel lonely

Please come to this place⭐︎

I felt relieved and a smile naturally appeared on my face.
It's a hot spot that will make you happy.



This year, the world's largest and most important Christmas tree was lit up again.


The world is slowly changing

I am also grateful for the things that don't change.

Thank you for shining here unchanged since 1933.

✨HAPPY HOLIDAYS✨

<Starbucks x Hello Kitty collaboration begins>
♥Not available in Japan, only available overseas♥

This winter
One more thing to enjoy in New York!

Starting November 6th at Starbucks in the US and Canada

"Starbucks x Hello Kitty" collaboration has begun!


The theme is "Together in Fun Forever"

Hello Kitty wearing a green Starbucks apron

The design is surrounded by coffee cups and beans.

It's packed with cuteness and playfulness.


Moreover, at this point in time, "no announcement has been made about the campaign being held in Japan."
A rare opportunity that can only be experienced locally!


The playful mugs, tumblers, bottles, stuffed toys, etc. are all likely to become collector's items.


The lineup you're interested in

●16 oz ceramic mug, about $33 ●Stainless steel cold cup, about $33 ●Acrylic cup, about $25 And many more


The highlight is the "Boxed Plush" Hello Kitty plush toy in a green apron, priced at about $35.

All of them are limited in quantity and are sure to sell out.


Because the items handled vary depending on the store
It would be fun to go around Starbucks in New York.



Starbucks, born in 1971
Hello Kitty was born in 1974

Brands loved by people of all ages and countries come together this holiday season ♥

This dream collaboration is a "fusion of cultures."

Hello Kitty is very popular in New York ♡

Check out the video of last year's hugely successful pop-up store at a luxury department store to see just how amazing it was!
