Trader Joe’s Fans Say This Returning Holiday Treat Is So Good It ‘Should Be Illegal’

The holidays are here, and it’s time to stock up on entertaining essentials to make the season merry and bright.

Make-ahead appetizers? Check. Festive potluck recipes? Check. Cocktails to impress your guests? Double check. Thanks to Trader Joe’s bringing back its popular holiday canned cocktail, whipping up a party-ready drink has never been easier.

Cutwater Peppermint White Russian Cans Are Back at Trader Joe’s

Last year, Trader Joe’s introduced a peppermint White Russian canned cocktail from Cutwater Spirits just in time for the holidays, and it was an instant hit. This year, the festive favorite from the award-winning brand has returned for round two!

The cocktail features Cutwater’s signature vodka mixed with peppermint and coffee cream liqueur for a rich, minty, and creamy flavor that’s perfect for seasonal celebrations.

TikTok creator @beccaljones described it as dangerously good, advising fans to “drink with caution” since the cocktail packs a potent 13 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). She went on to say, “It should be illegal how literally delicious this is.” Meanwhile, TikToker @milanirivers encouraged fans to act fast, saying, “If you see these in Trader Joe’s, buy them up like for real.”

Where to Find Cutwater Peppermint White Russian Cans

Currently, these festive cocktails are available only at Trader Joe’s locations in California. Instagram user @traderjoesobsessed reports that a four-pack costs $12.99, though prices may vary by location.

If you’re outside California, check with your local Trader Joe’s to see if they carry them. If not, you can use Cutwater’s website to locate other stores near you that might have them in stock.

Festive Ways to Serve Peppermint White Russian Cans

One of the best things about these canned cocktails is their versatility. They’re great on their own, but you can also spruce them up like one Instagram commenter did, blending them with ice and topping them with pumpkin spice and coconut whipped cream. Other festive ideas include adding gingerbread flavors or chocolate truffle garnishes to make these cocktails even more indulgent.

With a little creativity, this canned cocktail can become the star of your holiday celebrations. Cheers to easy, festive, and delicious drinks this season!
