# Cranberry Citrus Energy Drinks ZOA Revives Holiday Punch in a Bold Red Can By Amy Duong | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-citrus-energy-drinks References: [stack3d](https://www.stack3d.com/2026/10/holiday-punch-zoa-energy-drink)  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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-fruit-energy-drinks) stays intact, so [seasonal energy-drink buyers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-energy-drinks) get the same winter taste in a cleaner package. The drink remains [sugar-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guava-is-limited) 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.
