Dutch Bros Holiday Drinks: Winter Menu, Prices & Release Date (2027)

Every November, Dutch Bros swaps its fall flavors for a holiday lineup of peppermint, cookies, chocolate and festive Rebels, served in limited-edition cups. For many regulars, the first Candy Cane Mocha of the year is the start of the holiday season. This guide covers the most recent Dutch Bros holiday menu, what is in each drink, typical prices by size, when the winter menu usually launches and how to order holiday drinks your way.

Prices are typical U.S. figures before tax. Holiday drinks are available while supplies last. For the current fall lineup, see our Dutch Bros fall menu, and for the full calendar see the seasonal menu guide.

The Dutch Bros holiday menu

According to Dutch Bros, its 2025 holiday menu launched on November 1, 2025, at all of its more than 1,050 locations, with each drink served in one of six holiday-designed cups (including designs for kids and pups) and iced drinks coming with a limited-edition straw.

The Candy Cane Mocha is the closest thing Dutch Bros has to a holiday tradition, and it is one of the few seasonal flavors offered as a hot cocoa, which makes it a good caffeine-free holiday drink for kids.

Holiday drink prices

Holiday drinks are priced like the drink type they are made as, sometimes with a small premium because Soft Top and toppings are included.

Your local shop may price seasonal drinks 25 to 50 cents higher than these typical figures. Check the app before you order.

When does the Dutch Bros holiday menu come out?

Dutch Bros does not publish its calendar in advance, but the pattern is consistent: the fall menu arrives in late August (it launched August 21 in 2026), and the holiday menu replaces it in early November (November 1 in 2025). Holiday drinks usually run through December and can sell out at individual shops before the new year. We update this page as soon as the next holiday lineup is announced.

Calories and caffeine in holiday drinks

Holiday drinks are rich because most include Soft Top and toppings. Dutch Bros publishes nutrition for seasonal drinks in its nutrition guide while they are on the menu; the current guide covers the fall lineup, so use the app for exact holiday figures. As a guide, standard drinks of the same type look like this:

Two scoops of Soft Top add about 100 calories, so a holiday mocha typically lands above a plain mocha. If you want the flavor with less, order a small, ask for half sweet or skip the Soft Top.

Best holiday drinks to order

• Iced Candy Cane Mocha: the classic holiday order, peppermint and chocolate with Soft Top.
• Candy Cane hot cocoa: the best caffeine-free holiday drink, great for kids.
• Hazelnut Truffle Freeze: a rich, dessert-style blended drink.
• Mistletoe Rebel: bright raspberry and pomegranate energy, or order it as a lemonade with no caffeine.
• Holiday Cookie shake: a sprinkle-filled treat with no caffeine.

Holiday ordering tips

Order early in the season, because popular syrups and toppings can run out. Use your Rewards points on a large holiday Freeze or shake, which carry the highest prices and include toppings. If you are buying for a group, holiday cups and drinks make Dutch Bros gift cards a popular present; see our gift card guide. Shop hours can change around Christmas and New Year, so check the app or our hours guide before you go.

Holiday drinks for kids

Several holiday flavors work without caffeine. The Candy Cane Mocha flavor comes as a hot cocoa, the Holiday Cookie flavor as a shake, and the Mistletoe flavor as a lemonade. Ask for a kids size where available. See our kids menu for sizes and calories.

Holiday drinks vs fall drinks

Fall leans on pumpkin, caramel and cookie butter, while the holiday menu shifts to peppermint, chocolate, hazelnut and berry flavors. Both menus are built around Soft Top-topped coffee drinks and one or two seasonal Rebels, so prices are similar. If you loved a fall flavor, enjoy it before November, because the switch usually happens all at once.
