Glamorous Coffee Pop-Up Brings Paris Hilton's Sparkle to Santa Monica Pier

International Delight featured free beverages crafted with the brand's limited-edition flavors inspired by Hilton's signature over-the-top style

SANTA MONICA 3.12.26– Residents and visitors flocked to the Ocean & Colorado Plaza just steps from the iconic Santa Monica Pier this afternoon for a free, high-energy pop-up event celebrating a buzzy collaboration between celebrity entrepreneur Paris Hilton and International Delight coffee creamers.

The "International Delight Parista Pop-Up," running from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. PT (or while supplies lasted), invited locals to "unleash their inner Parista" - a playful term for someone who transforms their daily coffee into a fun, flavorful, and glamorous experience rather than settling for plain brews.

The event, sponsored by International Delight (a Danone North America brand), featured free beverages crafted with the brand's limited-edition flavors inspired by Hilton's signature over-the-top style. Highlights included the bright-pink Cotton Candy Cold Foam Creamer, a sweet and foamy nostalgic treat; Raspberry Champagne Creamer, offering a fruity burst; and Sweet & Spicy Creamer, blending contrasting notes for an unexpected kick. Attendees sampled these alongside classic International Delight options, enjoyed photo ops, connected with fellow flavor enthusiasts, and scored exclusive merchandise and giveaways while supplies held out.

The pop-up, located at 1566 Ocean Ave., drew crowds eager to embrace the partnership's message: life is too short for basic coffee. Paris Hilton, known for her love of sparkle and self-expression, has promoted the collection as a way to add "glitter" and personality to morning routines. The limited-edition products launched nationwide in January 2026 and remain available at major retailers while supplies last.

Local reaction was positive, with many describing the experience as a fun, whimsical break in the day. One attendee noted the vibrant setup and free treats made it a perfect pre-Pier stroll activity.

The event aligns with Santa Monica's vibrant calendar of community happenings, adding a touch of celebrity glamour to the beachside city's ongoing appeal for both residents and tourists. No word yet on whether Hilton made a surprise appearance, but the pop-up delivered the promised dose of fun and flavor to those who stopped by.
