NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Malibu is bringing a little bit of sunshine to the world this summer through a partnership with Platinum Selling American DJ and producer Dillon Francis and over 30 Malibu Ambassadors from seven different countries for the launch of #TheCoconutChallenge. Media personalities and creators such as comedian Hannah Stocking, singer and radio presenter Fleur East, and creative director Ashley Banjo will kick off #TheCoconutChallenge by performing The Coconut Nut Malibu Remix dance moves, created by renowned choreographer Matt Steffanina.

"#TheCoconutChallenge represents summer fun and the spirit of being together," said Johan Radojewski, Vice President of Global Marketing for Malibu at The Absolut Company.
