How to Score FREE FroYo & Hang Out With Hello Kitty Today
Today is the day! The new summer set of special Hello Kitty & Friends limited edition cups, spoons, and merchandise at Yogurtland froyo shops debuts today with the premiere of Hello Kitty's Hollywood-themed cup.
To get the party started, Hello Kitty herself will be at the Universal Citywalk Yogurtland with some of her friends from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and guests will be treated to FREE frozen yogurt, served in HK's special cup and with her special spoon.
This year, each character's cup will feature artwork set in a different city. Here's the schedule for the rest of the characters (and what city their cup features):
