Dutch Bros Coffee Marks National Passenger Princess Day

— November 14, 2025 — Autos
Dutch Bros Coffee has formally established a new branded holiday by designating the third Wednesday of November as National Passenger Princess Day. This builds on "the viral #passengerprincess trend," which has 200,000+ posts on TikTok and Instagram.

For the first official National Passenger Princess Day, Dutch Bros Coffee is running a promotional giveaway where customers can obtain one of three distinct car magnet designs by purchasing a medium or large beverage. This activation is available at all company locations on Wednesday, November 19, starting at 3 PM. The designs of the magnets are tongue-in-cheek.

Tana Davila, Chief Marketing Officer at Dutch Bros, commented: "The response to last year's Passenger Princess Day event was incredible, so we had to make it an official day."
