Wonderful Halos and Blippi team up to make healthy snacking more fun for families this school year
Ahead of the new school year, Wonderful Halos, one of America’s most-loved healthy snack brands, has partnered with Blippi, one of the most popular live-action preschool brands in the world.
Known for their playful personalities and signature orange-and-blue colors, these two beloved brands are bringing more fun to snack time through a new campaign, family experiences, and in-store moments designed to inspire healthy habits.
Launching today, a national ad campaign, “Halos Save Lunch,” follows Blippi on a mission to find the perfect lunchbox snack. After sorting through a lineup of less-than-ideal options, Blippi remembers the obvious choice – sweet, seedless, easy-to-peel Wonderful Halos.
Perfectly sized for lunchboxes and little hands, the fruit provides 50 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C per serving and has natural energy, helping kids and parents alike power through their day.
“Blippi has become a trusted friend to so many families, and he embodies what Wonderful Halos stand for – healthy fun – making this a natural partnership,” said Jennifer Hirano, vice president of marketing for The Wonderful Company.
Meet Halos and Blippi on the road
This fall, Halos and Blippi will hit the road for a series of meet-and-greet experiences in select East Coast cities, where families can meet Blippi in person, snap photos, and enjoy this fruit together. The events are designed to celebrate back-to-school with memorable moments for kids and parents alike.
One lucky family can win an all-expenses-paid trip to meet Blippi at one of these experiences, complete with exclusive event access and unforgettable memories, as part of Halos’ Sweetest Blippi Meet & Greet Contest.
Parents and legal guardians of children ages 3–10 are eligible to enter by submitting a brief statement (100 words or fewer) explaining why meeting Blippi would mean the world to their family.
