Anniversary-Celebrating Calendars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sanrio Introduces a New Collection of 2024 Calendar Downloads

— October 6, 2024 — Pop Culture
Sanrio continues to celebrate Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary with a collection of 2024 calendar downloads that can be accessed for free. There are still a few months to enjoy the calendars before 2025 is rung in. The calendars are printable and every month is represented by a different Sanrio character with a signature look.

The company has been showcasing these digital prints online and it is being playfully dubbed as a "friend of the month." October stars Kuromi as her birthday is on Haloween -- she wears Hello Kitty's iconic blue overalls and red bow. Each print is detailed with fun accents and each month spotlights a special day including 'National Noodle Day,' for example.
