For the past month, rumors have been circulating online that Mountain Dew is working on releasing a [holiday-themed soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-holiday-creamy-vanilla) for the 2021 Christmas season. Mountain Dew Snap'd appears to be a new gingerbread flavored soda, which likely means notes of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. The new soda even has a rouge gingerbread man cartoon on the label and features the tag line "Nice to Be Naughty." While the new soda's release date has yet to be officially confirmed, it looks like fans won't be able to enjoy Mountain Dew Snap'd until December of 2021.
