Burger King Drops New Hello Kitty And Friends Kids Meal Nationwide

Fast-food toy collectors and Sanrio enthusiasts have a brand-new reason to visit their local Burger King drive-thru this month. Burger King officially announced a nationwide partnership with global lifestyle brand Sanrio to launch the new Hello Kitty and Friends King Jr. Kids Meal. The highly anticipated collaborative meal officially hits participating restaurant menus starting Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Available for a limited time, the promotion aims to bring the iconic Japanese character lineup to life through an exclusive set of fast-food collectibles.

Inside The Six Blind Box Character Toys

To add a layer of surprise to the promotional rollout, Burger King is distributing the six exclusive character toys inside mystery blind boxes, preventing guests from knowing which figure they will receive until they open it.

The exclusive lineup includes fan favorites Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Keroppi. Each collectible figure is designed sporting an iconic Burger King paper crown, with select characters holding classic Burger King menu items. In addition to the standard character lineup, the fast-food chain is circulating a highly limited golden-colored Hello Kitty toy hidden inside select blind boxes while supplies last.

The King Jr. meal itself features a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, or four to six-piece chicken nuggets alongside a side and a drink. The entire order is packaged inside a custom Hello Kitty themed bag and includes an exclusive Sanrio-inspired wearable paper crown.

The Fourteen Karat Gold Claw Machine Pop Up

To elevate the partnership, Burger King is hosting a one-day interactive Golden Claw Machine event at its Downey, California location on October 23, 2026. Fans can play the machine to win standard toys, while one lucky guest has the chance to win an ultra-rare 14-karat gold-plated Hello Kitty figurine.

"We love seeing Hello Kitty and Friends get the royal treatment at Burger King, with each character sporting their own iconic BK crown," stated Jill Koch, Chief Brand Officer at Sanrio, Inc. "Bringing these beloved characters into the King Jr. Kids' Meal in such a playful way creates something special for fans of all ages to enjoy."

The Hello Kitty toys and specialty meals will remain available at participating restaurants throughout the promotional window while inventory lasts.
