We always envy the adorable and delicious collaboration products launched by convenience stores in Japan and Korea, making them a must-visit spot when traveling abroad. Now, there's no need to envy other countries—Taiwanese convenience stores have also launched many popular collaboration products, which are so hot that they often sell out, and even overseas visitors who try them give them extremely high praise.

1. FamilyMart – Let’s Cafe X Baileys Baileys Latte

FamilyMart collaborated with Baileys liqueur during Christmas to launch the “Special Blended Baileys Latte.” Not only did the slightly tipsy “adult flavor” receive high praise, but this time they also introduced the “Let’s Cafe X Baileys Collaboration Cup,” featuring three different graffiti illustrations, sparking a wave of social media photo ops. This time, FamilyMart is promoting “add your own Baileys, customize your own flavor,” teaching everyone how to DIY with different amounts of Baileys to create unique blended drinks. The rich coffee aroma paired with the cocoa and vanilla notes of the Baileys offers an exceptional treat.

2. Hi-Life – Line Friends X CANDY POPPY Caramel Popcorn

Hi-Life convenience stores launched great value Christmas gift options under NT$100, featuring a variety of imported snacks, among which the “LINE FRIENDS x CANDY POPPY Limited Edition Caramel Popcorn Series” is the most eye-catching. Four flavors are paired with different LINE FRIENDS characters, including Black Gold Chocolate-flavored Bear Big Caramel Popcorn, Strawberry in Love-flavored Usagi Caramel Popcorn, Red Love Cranberry-flavored Bear Mei Caramel Popcorn, and Classic Caramel-flavored Sally Caramel Popcorn. Hi-Life has brought out the most popular LINE FRIENDS characters, making each flavor of caramel popcorn super cute.

3. OK – Matcha White Pearl Red Bean Tart

OK Mart frequently introduces new products, among which the hot food “Trendy Hot Spots” fried chicken and tarts are always among the most popular items. This time, the newly launched “Matcha White Pearl Red Bean Tart” is delightfully chewy and delicious, with a whole white pearl inside that surprises everyone. Its not-too-sweet, not-too-bitter taste makes it a favorite among matcha lovers, becoming OK Mart’s latest hit food item.

4. FamilyMart – Nestlé KitKat Chocolate Swirl Cone

FamilyMart has launched a limited winter edition of the classic chocolate giant KitKat’s new product, the “KitKat Chocolate Swirl Cone.” It not only includes a whole classic original KitKat bar but also uses rich chocolate ice cream as the base, offering a unique cone flavor and experience.
