NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 5, MINISO (NYSE: MNSO; HKEX: 9896), a global value retailer, started its #Lifeisforfun! world tour with its popular characters from the brand's original MINI Family. Traveling from Thailand, Italy, to Mexico, MINISO spreads holiday cheer and kindness during this holiday season.

The tour began in Mexico and then arrived in Italy and Thailand. Mascots of Penpen, the penguin, and Pickle, the Shiba Inu, traveled in MINISO-themed public transport such as BTS Skytrain in Bangkok and buses in Florence, channeling love and encouragement to commuters. They also appeared on the streets of Bangkok, Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Mexico City, bringing the festive atmosphere to residents.

In Mexico, the Penpen mascot toured Mexico City in a red pickup truck and brought drones that drop off mystery gift bags, cheering citizens up on a stressful Monday morning. In Italy, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies were adopted where customers can search for Penpen in the city of Florence through an interactive game, in exchange for prizes. In Bangkok, Thailand, MINISO painted a BTS Skytrain into its iconic red color. Along with adorable characters from MINI Family, MINISO spread holiday cheer to hundreds of millions of commuters in the Bangkok metropolitan area.
