Now that a trailer for the highly anticipated third season of The White Lotus has officially dropped, fans are being treated to limited-edition collabs like The White Lotus x Coffee mate.
Inspired by the hit HBO series, Coffee mate teamed up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to create a pair of coffee creamers that make it easy for consumers to bring the luxurious feel of an exotic resort home. Since the upcoming season of The White Lotus is set in Thailand, these two creamers offer a sweet escape with varieties like The White Lotus Thai Iced Coffee Flavored Creamer—inspired by a popular Thai drink that features the sweet, rich flavor of sweetened condensed milk—and The White Lotus Piña Colada Flavored Creamer.
With the rise of dirty sodas, Coffee mate suggests "[making] your Sunday night watch party a little more tropical by adding Coffee Mate The White Lotus Piña Colada Flavored Creamer to your favorite soda."
