NOCCO is reviving its Christmas energy drink lineup for 2026 with three returning seasonal flavors tied to Swedish holiday traditions. The trio gives holiday buyers familiar taste profiles in an energy drink format, including the original Julmust and the strawberry marshmallow-themed Skum Tomte.
The selection is sold in Sweden and also through Tyngre, with all three flavors offered in 24-can cases for 479 SEK. NOCCO also includes Skum Nisse, which mixes wild strawberry with vanilla, giving the lineup a candy-like finish that fits the season without changing the brand's energy-drink base.
The Christmas trio turns limited seasonal flavor into a repeatable retail format rather than a one-off novelty. Returning the same flavors also helps keep holiday demand tied to recognizable names, which can make seasonal shelves easier to shop and easier for the brand to reuse each year.
