Cheetos has the perfect gift for lovers of cheese balls. Unwrap it and pair it with one of the latest holiday sodas!
Have you visited your local grocery store? If not yet, you need to do so because it probably has the latest holiday snacks and drinks that could leave you feeling like walking in a winter wonderland! Recently, we’ve covered the release of Christmas-themed candies, baking products, and even ready-to-eat breakfast food items. Now, it’s time to taste the holiday magic from your favorite cheesy snack and pop open the fun from new festive soda options!
Cheetos
Does a cheesy winter wonderland exist? I guess it’s safe to say so when you take a bite of Cheetos’ new White Cheddar Snowy Cheese Balls Minis! From the taste down to the packaging, this new item is set to bring good cheer to snack fans.
Cheetos‘ White Cheddar Snowy Cheese Balls Minis will be available in mini and standard-sized canisters, designed with the Cheetos mascot wearing a Santa hat plus a gift tag on top. This subtly gives us a hint that the canisters could be bought as gifts for snack-loving friends and family members. You can already find this new cheesy and festive snack at Target, with a price of $3.19 for the 3.625oz canister. There hasn’t been an official announcement if this is going to be sold by other retailers, but try to find them in other stores near you.
Starry
Moving on to holiday sodas, we have Starry with its latest soda flavor: Cranberry Blizz. While cranberry is quite popular as a Christmas flavor, soda fans are divided on this one. Some of them are saying that Sprite did it better with its Sprite Cranberry, while others are interested to try and see if they will finally get on board with Starry. This new holiday soda already started showing up in stores but is only available in zero sugar variation.
Canady Dry
Canada Dry‘s Ginger Ale Cranberry and Ginger Ale Blackberry are now back in stock, just in time for the holiday season. The former has a refreshing taste of crisp cranberries, while the latter pairs the classic ginger taste with the tanginess of blackberries. There’s a Canada Dry Holiday Pack that you can avail of at Sam’s Club. If you’re specifically into cranberries, you can get the Ginger Ale Cranberry in 12 packs in other major retail stores.
Sprite
Sprite also has two holiday soda flavors on offer: Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry and the new Sprite Vanilla Frost. So what’s the difference between the Winter Spiced Cranberry and Sprite’s OG Cranberry flavor? The answer lies in the additional spices added to the former. Winter Spiced Cranberry has warm spices infused into the lemon-lime flavor mix. It was released in 2019, and quickly replaced Sprite Cranberry, which was released back in 2013.
Meanwhile, Sprite Vanilla Frost blends the classic citrus taste with a hint of vanilla, leaving soda fans buzzing with excitement. The word is that this soda flavor will be coming to Kroger chains soon and will potentially expand to other stores. Sprite Vanilla Frost will be available in regular and zero sugar options and in cans and bottles, too.
7UP
7UP‘s Shirley Temple-flavored soda is now available in stores nationwide. This bright red and bubbly soda combines lemon-lime flavor with notes of pomegranate and maraschino cherry. The result? A refreshingly sweet and fruity holiday drink! Shirley Temple connoisseurs described the soda to be syrupy or more concentrated than the original mixed drink, recommending that it should be enjoyed over ice with two cherries on top.

From The Club
I don’t know about you but this year’s lineup of holiday sodas is tempting! I’m not a frequent soda drinker but that Sprite Vanilla Frost and 7UP Shirley Temple might be worth the try. What I’m really fond of are cheesy snacks 🤣 So I can’t wait to get my hands on those snowy cheese balls from Cheetos. The packaging looks awesome, too, and I won’t hesitate to gift it to kids coming over for the holidays!
