“We’ve seen the popularity of California mandarins explode among families over the last few years,” said Marc Seguin, vice president of global marketing, Wonderful Halos. “Halos are super sweet, non-GMO and the perfect snack for parents and their little angels.”

To support the launch, Wonderful Halos is slated to spend a record $100 million over the next five years as part of an integrated campaign to market the “pure goodness” and uniquely delicious taste of the sweet, seedless and easy to peel fruit. The campaign includes national network and cable television spots with more than 2,000 airings of three different commercials starting Nov. 25. The commercials capture kids’ humorous reactions when they discover their parents are attempting to take their coveted Halos. They’re angels, unless you mess with their Halos!

Kids and families can also enjoy Wonderful Halos in the palm of their hands outside of snack time by downloading Halos Fun, a new mobile game app. In the game, three rascally raccoons steal all the halos from a graduating class of mandarins. The determined mandarins are forced to win back and collect their golden halos by being fired out of a slingshot and ping-ponging through a series of more than 100 fun, colorful levels In-game stickers are available throughout multiple stages and unlock hidden levels, powers and secrets. To add to the Halos fun, Android users can also look for 15 special edition sticker codes on Wonderful Halos product and the Halos Facebook Page at Facebook.com/Halos to unlock exclusive levels and other valuable surprises.
