Why it worked
The video taps into the FOMO (fear of missing out) of a popular event and offers an alternative way to engage with the theme through merchandise and a themed bar experience. The visual appeal of the merchandise and the drink likely contributed to its shareability.
Summary
The video shows someone attending an event themed around "Lanterns" and then finding a bar that also has "Lanterns" themed merchandise. It highlights the availability of Lanterns pins and trading cards.

Product placement
Lanterns: appears as a theme for an event and as merchandise (pins, trading cards). The pins and cards are sold. The event itself is an activation. Union Kitchen & Tap: appears as a location where the event is happening. Removing it would change the context of the video.
