Top 10 Dutch Bros Holiday Drinks You Need To Try
1. Sugar N Spice Oat Milk Latte
Sugar and spice, what's more Christmassy than that? This Dutch special is a twist on a regular oatmilk latte with added winter spices.
The Dutch Sugar N Spice Oat Milk Latte combines espresso, steamed oat milk, winter spice flavor, and cinnamon sprinks (Dutch Bros name for sprinkles) on top.
The Sugar N Spice Oat Milk Latte is usually ordered hot but can also be requested as an iced latte.
It combines the sweetness of brown sugar with notes of cinnamon and cardamom to give you a beautifully balanced treat that tastes just like gingerbread—an excellent option for creamy latte coffee drinkers and the perfect seasonal beverage for vegans.
2. Christmas Morning
With a name like Christmas Morning, it would probably be false advertising if this weren't a seasonal special.
This is a twist on regular chai tea with cozy notes of spices, and it's perfect for Dutch Bros chai drink lovers!
The Christmas Morning is made with chai tea, half and half, white chocolate sauce, and then topped with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle.
The sweet and slightly spicy combination from the chai makes this a great winter warmer. Plus, there's basically no caffeine, so it's great for non-coffee drinkers.
3. Hazelnut Truffle Mocha
The Hazelnut Truffle Mocha is one of the best seasonal options for nutty chocolate lovers.
It's like classic Dutch cocoa paired with coffee and perfect for anyone who wants a rich, indulgent, coffee-based beverage.
The Hazelnut Truffle Mocha is made with espresso and chocolate milk, with hazelnut syrup added to the chocolate milk.
The Hazelnut Truffle Mocha is then finished with a creamy soft top and caramel drizzle.
The Hazelnut Truffle Mocha is one of the highest calorie options on the menu, but if you like something sweet, then the chocolate milk, hazelnut, and caramel will do the trick.
4. Holly Jolly Rebel
The Holly Jolly Rebel features strong red and green colors to remind you of the Christmas season, and it's one of the customers' favorites for those who love energy drinks.
The Holly Jolly Rebel is made with the Rebel Energy Drink mixed with pomegranate and vanilla flavoring.
It's then topped with soft top and green sprinkles. It can be served iced or blended for those who like a thicker drink.
The new Holly Jolly Rebel is becoming a favorite with younger drinkers around the holidays. This will give you a big energy kick so you can really enjoy all the festivities.
5. Peppermint Bliss Cold Brew
If you love the strong, smooth taste of cold brew, you'll love this version!
This cold seasonal special tastes like a chocolate candy cane and has a big caffeine kick. Plus, it's one of the least calorific options on the seasonal menu.
The Peppermint Bliss Cold Brew is made with Dutch Bros cold brew, peppermint syrup, and white chocolate.
You can also add a soft top for a bit of extra richness. If you want it even smoother, you can ask for Nitro-infused cold brew instead at no extra cost.
This cold version of a candy cane mocha looks, feels, and tastes like Christmas - guaranteed to fill you with caffeine and Christmas cheer!
6. Peppermint Bark Freeze
This drink mixes the minty dark chocolate flavor of After Eight with candy canes to give you the ultimate Christmas sugar rush.
It’s perfect for those who like sweet, creamy, cold coffees.
It's made with a Dutch Freeze base, an espresso blended with chocolate and caramel drizzle. It then has peppermint flavor added, with dark chocolate and white chocolate too.
Finally, it's topped with whipped cream, candy cane sprinkles, peppermint sprinks, and dark chocolate.
The combination of sweet on sweet means this is popular with younger drinkers. It is only available cold, so it won’t work as a winter warmer for those who live in colder places.
7. Glacier Peak Rebel
This is definitely not your typical Christmas beverage, but it's perfect for energy drink lovers.
There's no espresso, just the Dutch Bros signature Rebel Energy Drink, so if you're an energy-loving drinker, this is the Christmas drink for you.
The Glacier Peak Rebel is made with a special new flavor of the Rebel energy drink. Blue raspberry and vanilla are then added, and it's topped with a soft top and dusted with raw sugar sprinkles.
This new holiday drink isn't like any other Christmas drink I've ever tasted. It's very sweet and packs a big kick - something younger people will love.
8. Sugar Cookie Breve
Love cookies? Then this is the Christmas drink for you because it tastes like they've blended a cookie into a cup. It's very calorific, very sugary, and very delicious.
The Sugar Cookie Breve is made with a breve base (coffee, half & half, and milk foam) which is then mixed with Almond Roca, vanilla flavoring, and white chocolate.
It's then topped with whipped cream and raw candy cane sprinkles. It can be ordered hot or cold, and extra chocolate sauce makes a great addition.
This special order is nutty, buttery, and sweet, but you still get the coffee flavor from the breve. You'll love it if you're a fan of sweet lattes.
9. SnowBerry Rebel
This red, white, and blue drink has a strong Christmas vibe, with distinct layers and a taste that screams Christmas.
It's another energy drink based option and great for those who want fast, delicious energy.
The Snowberry Rebel is made with a Rebel base and blackberry flavoring mixed in. It's topped with a soft top, and extra blue sugar sprinkles are scattered on top.
The Rebel flavor and the marshmallowy Dutch Bros soft top make it the perfect alternative when you don't fancy a coffee.
10. Sweater Weather Chai with White Coffee
The Sweater Weather Chai is one of the latest additions to the seasonal menu, and it's probably the most interesting option.
It’s made with a milky chai tea mixed with a double shot of white coffee and white chocolate, topped with soft top. It’s then covered in cinnamon sprinkles and dusted with nutmeg.
You don't often get the mix of chai spices with coffee, and it works amazingly well here. You can have it hot or cold, and it's something a bit different you should definitely try!
Seasonal Holiday Vs Regular Drinks: How They Compare?
Dutch Bros has a wide and varied menu with many different options.[1]
Unlike other chains, Dutch Bros mostly use their standard ingredients to make their seasonal specials (with a few exceptions).
That doesn't mean the drinks are any less special; it just means their regular menu is pretty exciting anyway!
However, the seasonal specials offer something different from your regular order to give you extra holiday cheer. Here are the key differences:
Christmas Flavors And Colors
Dutch Bros make the most of classic Christmas flavors in their drinks.
This means candy cane flavorings, peppermint, cinnamon, winter spice flavor, and any other flavor your associate with the holidays.
There are also red and green sprinks to add to your winter wonderland drink!
Holiday Cups!
Just like Starbucks, Dutch Bros have their own special seasonal cups! These feature unique holiday cup designs every year, which are always different and always stand out.
Plus, they have separate holiday cup designs for kids, so they don't feel left out.[2]
Dutch Bros seasonal cups come out around November every year, and when you order a Dutch Bros holiday seasonal special, you'll get one.
They're also reusable, so you can get a $0.25 discount on your next Dutch Bros order when you bring it back.
Sugary And Indulgent
Regular coffee drinkers know you can't have sweet, sugary, indulgent drinks all year round.
However, the seasonal range from Dutch Bros generally has a lot more calories than their regular drinks. Just make sure you don't overdo it this holiday season!
