Most Advent calendars give you a tiny chocolate. Red Bull is giving you a can of caffeine behind every door.
Its 2026 Advent Calendar contains 24 cans, but the detail worth knowing is Arctic Berry is back, and Red Bull says this box is the only place to get it.
The Arctic Berry catch
According to Red Bull’s U.S. launch announcement, the flavor first appeared as the 2020 Winter Edition. It returns as Festive Edition Arctic Berry, exclusively inside the calendar.
That makes this a more specific shopping decision than “Would I like a giant holiday box?” If Arctic Berry was your favorite, the packaging is how you get to the thing you actually want.
What’s inside?
The assortment includes 24 8.4-ounce cans, with both sugared and sugar-free varieties. Apple Edition is also included. Each can contains 80 milligrams of caffeine, according to the brand.
The package has a QR code for a holiday gift-sorting game with a chance to win prizes. Check the linked official rules before entering.
Where to look
Red Bull says the calendar launched September 28 at selected U.S. retailers while supplies last. Its list includes Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target and Walmart, among others.
The announcement does not give a universal retail price. Check the exact listing and local availability before making a trip; a retailer appearing on the list does not mean every store has a box.
