ZOA is bringing back its holiday flavor with Holiday Punch, a returning energy drink previously sold as Dwanta's Holiday Punch that now swaps the character-led branding for a simpler name and a red can. Its cranberry-and-citrus profile stays intact, so seasonal energy-drink buyers get the same winter taste in a cleaner package.
The drink remains sugar-free and carries 160mg of caffeine in each 12oz can. The formula also retains B vitamins and BCAAs. It is available now on Amazon for $24.99 per case of 12, and it remains a limited-time release.
Amazon availability at $24.99 turns the flavor into a stock-up purchase instead of a novelty grab. The renamed packaging lets ZOA refresh a recurring winter item without changing the formula, using cyclicality to keep the product familiar while still giving the return a new visual hook.
