The Capri-Sun Halloween pouches are headed to the UK market just in time for the autumn season to provide consumers with a way to incorporate a spooky touch into lunch meals.
The drink brand is introducing its signature refreshment with fun, spooky characters including a ghost and a mummy that transform the beverages into a character-like profile. The new branding is arriving alongside an on-pack promotion that will see 15 lucky families rewarded if they locate the Golden Ghost porch in their multipack with £1,000. The campaign is running through November 17, 2024 for shoppers to participate in.
Brand Activation Manager at Capri-Sun UK Rebecca Wilmott spoke on the Capri-Sun Halloween pouches saying, "We’re excited to launch our new limited-edition Halloween packs and Golden Ghost competition – providing a trick-or-treat moment for all the family. With soft drinks becoming one of the fastest-growing categories at Halloween, our new Halloween pouches are helping us tap into a key seasonal moment and provide even more ways for us to bring a taste of spooky fun to people across the UK."
