EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ AND NEW YORK, NY, (September 18, 2023) – Spirit Halloween and Kung Fu Tea are joining forces to serve up new treats for fans – no tricks about it. The collaboration includes five exclusive costumes and a new, limited-time-only beverage inspired by all things Spirit, so fans can go fuel up and go code orange all October with a killer beverage that isn’t just pumpkin spice.
Kung Fu Tea Fans ready to wear their fandom can choose from a menu that includes five looks, each inspired by their favorite Kung Fu Tea flavors. The first-ever official Kung Fu Tea costumes will be available exclusively online at SpiritHalloween.com, and include:
This tasty collab is more than just costumes – Spirit Halloween and Kung Fu Tea jumped into their mad science-inspired lab to concoct a limited-edition Spirit Spooky Slush for this Halloween season which hits all Kung Fu Tea locations nationwide on October 1. The exclusive slush combines the brand’s signature matcha slush with a brand-new Taro Milk Cap and is topped with Oreo® pieces for a drink that slays cravings.
Each Spirit Spooky Slush is served in a specialty collectors Spirit Halloween-themed cup, complete with a limited-edition straw cap and lid featuring Spirit Halloween’s iconic, Jack the Reaper. The first 100 customers who try the Spirit Spooky Slush at each location will receive the limited-edition Jack the Reaper straw cap, and the first 300 customers will receive a limited-edition sticker, so eager fans should act quickly, before they disappear.
“We love teaming up with brands that our customers are passionate about and finding new ways for fans to experience the products they love most. This collaboration with Kung Fu Tea is exciting for us as we’re debuting the first ever Spirit Halloween-inspired drink,” shared Kym Sarkos, Executive Vice President, General Merchandise Manager at Spirit Halloween. “Our fans are crazy about Kung Fu Tea, and we can’t wait to see them dressed up like their favorite bubble tea while they enjoy a Spirit Spooky Slush this October.”
