Ahead of the new school year, Wonderful Halos has partnered with Blippi, a popular live-action preschool brand. 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, according to a news release.
The 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, Halos provide 50% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C per serving and have 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. “As families head back to school, we’re excited to show parents that Wonderful Halos are a nutritious, convenient and Blippi-approved snack kids will love, and parents will feel good about packing in their lunchboxes.”
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 Wonderful Halos 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 to 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. Entries will be evaluated based on relevance, creativity, originality and emotional impact. The winner will be selected Sept. 1 and notified Sept. 3.
“Partnering with Wonderful Halos is a natural fit for Blippi as we head into a new school year,” said Jeff Skaggs, senior director of brand partnerships for Moonbug Entertainment. “Blippi is all about inspiring curiosity and making learning fun, and Wonderful Halos brings that same playful, family-first energy to healthy snacking for families. We’re excited to bring our brands together to create memorable experiences for kids and parents, from the produce aisle to live meet-and-greet experiences this fall.”
Bringing the partnership to life in stores, the company says eye-catching Blippi point-of-sale displays and life-sized Blippi standees can be found throughout produce departments nationwide. Available through December 2026, the displays are designed to create excitement and offer kids the chance to pose alongside their favorite explorer, Blippi, while families shop for Halos mandarins.
