Dutch Bros holiday menu 2026 is out with a first-ever cake pop

Dutch Bros’ 2026 holiday menu landed Sunday, Nov. 1, with two new drinks, two returning favorites and a tree-shaped cake pop. It beat the Starbucks holiday menu by four days.

The coffee chain holiday race has a new early leader. Dutch Bros dropped its 2026 holiday menu on Sunday, Nov. 1, and it’s in shops now.

The company announced it Sunday morning from its home base in Tempe, Arizona. It didn’t hold back. “The holiday season has arrived and Dutch Bros is serving up its most festive menu yet!”

The lineup, in Dutch Bros’ words, is “two new seasonal sips, a first-ever themed food item and a pair of beloved returning classics.” That food item is a cake pop shaped like a Christmas tree. We’ll get to it.

What’s on the Dutch Bros holiday menu for 2026?

Here’s the full list from Dutch Bros’ announcement.

New this year:

• Merry Magic: blackberry, peach and cherry, topped with holiday candy. You can get it blended or iced, as a Rebel energy drink, a Myst energy refresher or a lemonade.

• Sprinkle Cookie: a sugar cookie-inspired drink topped with Soft Top and holly sprinkles. It comes as a Freeze, iced latte or iced chai.

• Holiday Sugar Cookie Cake Pop: a tree-shaped, sugar cookie-flavored cake pop dipped in white chocolate with drizzle and sprinkles.

Coming back:

• Hazelnut Truffle: hazelnut and chocolate milk with Soft Top and caramel drizzle, suggested as an iced or hot mocha or a mocha Freeze.

• Candy Cane: peppermint and chocolate milk with Soft Top and candy cane sprinkles. It works as a mocha, a mocha Freeze, a mocha cold brew or a hot cocoa.

Soft Top is Dutch Bros’ sweet cold foam topping.

How much do the Dutch Bros holiday drinks cost?

Dutch Bros didn’t list prices in its announcement. Prices vary by shop and size, so check the Dutch Bros app before you pull into the line.

The menu is out at all locations, and Dutch Bros says it’s around “while supplies last.” There’s no announced end date. If you fall for the cake pop, don’t wait until Christmas Eve to go back for more.

What is the Dutch Bros holiday cake pop?

This is the big one, at least by Dutch Bros standards. The company calls the Holiday Sugar Cookie Cake Pop “a first-ever themed food item.”

Dutch Bros is mostly known for drinks, so a tree-shaped treat is a bit of a holiday flex.

Starbucks fans will notice something familiar. The Starbucks holiday menu has its own Bearista Cake Pop this year, plus a Sugar Cookie Latte. Great minds, or at least great marketing departments.

Are there Dutch Bros holiday cups this year?

Yes. Dutch Bros says “every drink is served in one of nine seasonal-themed cups, including special editions for kids and pets.”

The designs include presents, snowflakes and jingle bells. Yes, your dog gets a holiday cup too.

The announcement didn’t mention any holiday merch for sale or a special rewards deal. It does point people to the Dutch Bros app to order ahead and earn points.

What did Dutch Bros say about the holiday menu?

Chief marketing officer Tana Davila gave the official word. “The holidays are all about bringing people together and spreading joy,” Davila said in the announcement.

It’s a holiday press release, so nobody expected a hot take.

When does the Starbucks holiday menu come out?

Starbucks is up next. Its holiday menu launches in stores nationwide on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, according to a Starbucks announcement reported by FOX 13 Seattle.

That means Dutch Bros beat it by four days. Last year, Starbucks launched its holiday menu on Nov. 6.

Starbucks’ 2026 lineup includes a Tiramisu Velvet Latte, an Apple Pomegranate Refresher, the returning Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulee Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte and Gingerbread Chai, per FOX 13. On the food side, there’s the Bearista Cake Pop, Cranberry Bliss Bar and a Snowman Cookie.

Dutch Bros has the head start. Starbucks has far more stores. Your caffeine budget has a long two months ahead.

How many Dutch Bros are there, and is there one near Disney World?

Dutch Bros was founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1992. It had 1,225 locations as of June 30, 2026, according to the company.

Florida is part of that map. Dutch Bros said it opened its 1,000th shop in Orlando in February 2025. ClickOrlando reported this March that the chain had about 32 Florida locations, with roughly half of them in Central Florida.
