Alani Nu Is Bringing Back Winter Wonderland—But It Won’t Be the Same

It’s easy to cover a new Alani Nu flavor. It’s another thing entirely to cover the return of what could be my least favorite Alani Nu flavor to date. Today, I come to you with the news that a previously-discontinued Alani Nu flavor is returning to shelves…sort of. Cheer and/or boo as we go walking into Alani Nu’s Winter Wonderland.

What did Alani Nu Winter Wonderland taste like last year?

Thanks to the power of the internet, you can find my full review here. To summarize, a leaked promotional graphic described Winter Wonderland’s flavor as “Coco Berry Bliss,” which I basically, kinda, sorta agreed with. The coconut flavor was strong, the berry flavor was weak, and the bliss was nowhere to be found. I liked it enough, but Red Bull’s Coconut Berry flavor knocks it out of the park. I don’t recall many people loving the flavor (even in the diehard Alani Nu girlie community, which I am well acquainted with). Luckily, our intel says the flavor will be updated in 2025.

Is Alani Nu changing the Winter Wonderland formula?

Per snack influencer and certified hottie SnachWithZach, we can expect a new formula for Alani Nu Winter Wonderland in 2025. Alani Nu has not commented on Zach’s posts regarding Winter Wonderland or the upcoming Cherry Bomb flavor—talking to journalists is not their style. 

Will we get a refined version of the “Coco Berry Bliss” we were supposed to get last year? Is Alani Nu going to make Winter Wonderland the consistent name for a rotating seasonal flavor a la Mountain Dew VooDew? Only time will tell; stay tuned to Sporked for more information as it comes in.

When can I buy Alani Nu Winter Wonderland V2?

Last year, Alani Nu Winter Wonderland hit shelves the first week of November. I have a feeling we’ll see the same release date for this year. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! That could shift around though, and we won’t know for certain until the drink is “officially announced,” which usually happens a few weeks after it starts appearing on shelves.
