Red Bull Advent Calendar Launches Nationwide on September 28

Red Bull’s 2026 Advent Calendar launches nationwide at select U.S. retailers on September 28. The company’s U.S. site says to mark that date and check back for more details. It does not name stores or a price.

This is the second U.S. version of the pack. The first arrived in limited quantities on November 3, 2025.

What is in the calendar?

AL.com reports that the calendar holds 24 cans, one for each day from December 1 through Christmas Eve. Walmart’s product listing is titled as an 8.4-ounce 24-pack. Red Bull’s own launch note does not repeat the can count.

AL.com, citing Walmart and Snackolator, describes 11 flavors in the 2026 pack: three cans of Red Bull Energy Drink, two each of Sugarfree and Zero, and Editions that include Juneberry, Iced Vanilla Berry, Fuji Apple, Coconut Berry, and White Peach. The same report says the pack also includes the new Pistachio & Berries Winter Edition.

Those counts do not add up to 24 on their own, and Energeia has not seen a Red Bull door-by-door list. Treat that mix as the reported assortment, not a finished inventory.

A standard 8.4-ounce Red Bull is 80 milligrams of caffeine. Energeia is not totaling caffeine for the full calendar, because the 2026 panel for every can in the pack is not published here. You can run 80 mg through the caffeine half-life calculator. Cans already in the database are on the Red Bull brand page.

Where and when can you buy it?

Red Bull says the nationwide retail launch is September 28, 2026, at select retailers. The same page says more buying details are still coming.

AL.com reports that Walmart had already opened online preorders at $54.98 before that date. That price is from the Walmart listing as described in that article. It is not a price Red Bull has published, and it may not be the price at every store.

Last year’s U.S. calendar, covered by Beverage Industry, was sold in limited quantities at Costco, Kroger, Target, Walmart, and select Circle K stores starting November 3, 2025. Red Bull has not said the 2026 retailer list will match that group.

How this relates to the Winter Edition

Fuji Apple from last winter is now a year-round Apple Edition. Pistachio & Berries is the new limited Winter Edition, expected in the U.S. later this fall, and it is the flavor AL.com says will show up inside the calendar.

Energeia take

The date is the notable part. A Christmas countdown pack is scheduled for store shelves on September 28, more than two months before December 1. Red Bull has confirmed the launch day. The flavor list and the Walmart price are still coming from retail reports, not from a full Red Bull spec sheet.
