What is National Passenger Princess Day?

A Dutch Bros celebration of the viral “passenger princess” trend, the person who rides shotgun, picks the music and lets someone else do the driving. This is the third year the chain has marked the day.

“Being a passenger princess is an energy, mindset and art, all on its own,” Dutch Bros chief marketing officer Tana Davila said.

What is the Dutch Bros Pink Majesty Rebel?

A new pink Rebel energy drink topped with crown sprinkles, according to Dutch Bros. It’s the chain’s first signature drink made just for Passenger Princess Day.

Dutch Bros says it’s best blended or as a lemonade. It arrives Nov. 13 at all Dutch Bros locations, while supplies last.

The chain didn’t list a price, and costs vary by size and location.

What is a Dutch Bros Rebel?

Dutch Bros’ own energy drink. Rebels come in dozens of flavor combos and can be served iced, blended or mixed with lemonade, so the Pink Majesty can be made more than one way. It’s one of the chain’s signature drinks, alongside its coffee and teas.

How do you get Dutch Bros car vent charms?

Buy a medium or large drink in a shop on Nov. 18. Starting at 5 a.m. local time, Dutch Bros will hand out rhinestone car vent charms while supplies last.

There are three designs to collect. If you want all three, you’ll need to plan more than one stop, or bring friends.

What’s in the Dutch Bros Passenger Princess merch collection?

A fuzzy seat belt cover, a credit card wand, a bedazzled mini cup holder trash bin and an oversized sherpa-lined hoodie, plus more, according to Dutch Bros.

The collection drops Nov. 13 at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET), and it’s sold online only through the Dutch Bros Shop. You won’t find it in stores.

Where is Dutch Bros?

All over, and growing. The Pink Majesty Rebel and the vent charms will be at all of Dutch Bros’ 1,273-plus locations, the company said.

The Oregon-born chain now runs shops in many states, including a growing lineup across Florida, so Disney World travelers may spot a drive-thru on the way to the parks.

Where did the passenger princess trend come from?

Social media. The phrase took off online as a playful name for the friend or partner who always rides in the passenger seat and gets driven around. Fans post videos of their passenger princess setups, from fuzzy seat covers to snacks within reach.

Dutch Bros has leaned into it with drinks and merch since its first Passenger Princess Day.

When is National Passenger Princess Day 2026?

Wednesday, Nov. 18. The drink and merch arrive five days earlier, on Friday, Nov. 13, so the celebration lasts nearly a week.

Tips for Dutch Bros Passenger Princess Day

Go early on Nov. 18. The vent charms start at 5 a.m. and are only around while supplies last.

Set an alarm for the merch. Online drops like this can sell out fast, so be on the Dutch Bros Shop right at 12 p.m. PT on Nov. 13.
