It’s time to fill your pantry as new snacks featuring your favorite childhood cartoon characters and Christmas-themed ones are coming your way!
Snacks hold a special place in our pantries as they are these knick-knack mini-food items that do the job of filling our hunger without having to prepare a heavy meal. Joining in the fun are different character-themed snacks that we probably begged our parents to buy when we were younger. By simply going to your local grocery store or convenience store, you can spot at least one lying by the shelves.
Brands use licensed character brands to market their food products to children or fans of the character. It is also a way for these characters to promote an upcoming movie or series to the fans of the snacks. Aren’t they the best marketing stunt ever?
Now, you can still relieve those childhood memories of yours as Goldfish and Golden West Food Group are bringing you these character-themed snacks that you’ve got to add to your grocery list. The classic Little Debbie is also adding to the fun as they’re releasing Christmas-themed treats for the upcoming holidays. Let’s check them out.
Hello Kitty x Goldfish
The classic Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish school snack is bringing Sanrio fans a treat with their new collaboration of Hello Kitty-themed Goldfish crackers. This special collaboration celebrates the 50th anniversary of Hello Kitty, so if you’re a Sanrio fan, you’d better get them in your local grocery or convenience store as they’re only available for a limited time.
These Goldfish graham crackers are inspired by one of Hello Kitty’s favorite foods as it’s strawberry shortcake flavored. There are also hints of vanilla that can be tasted in this cake-turned-biscuit snack.
Goldfish crackers are a must-buy even for health-conscious consumers and kids, as they’re coloring is all-natural since they were sourced from plants. Goldfish boasts no artificial flavoring or preservatives when making their crackers. It’s all done safely and healthily in the Pepperidge Farm way!

From The Club
Character-themed snacks have a different pull on me, so if you showed me something that taps into my nostalgia, then I’m definitely getting that! Also, I have adored Hello Kitty so much up until now. I even had a Hello Kitty collection growing up, where I collected different Hello Kitty-themed merch ranging from school supplies, toys, accessories, and even food items. I’m so excited to get my hands on those Kittyfied Goldfish snacks!
