Visually striking party time! Maracas are joining the band and I could not be more hyped. These bad boys are top tier festive fun. No notes…except what if they came in different colors for my many maraca moods?

I don’t think I’m prepared for how much I’m actually going to use this emoji, and I’d argue that the maracas might have a broad enough appeal to enter the upper echelon of emojis that everyone uses, along with the melting face and the nails being painting. The maracas are a match made in heaven for the emoji with the party hat, and I’ll probably find menial things to celebrate solely so I can send a text with the maraca emoji in it.
