The Dutch Bros Candy Cane Mocha is a peppermint mocha topped with Soft Top and candy cane pieces, and it has been part of the Dutch Bros holiday menu in both 2024 and 2025. This guide explains what is in it, the ways you can order it, what we know about calories, and whether it is coming back for Christmas 2026.
The 2025 holiday energy drink is covered here: Dutch Bros Mistletoe Rebel.
Quick Answer
Quick answer: the Candy Cane Mocha is a mocha with peppermint flavor, finished with Soft Top and candy cane sprinkles. In 2025 Dutch Bros said it could be ordered iced, hot, as a Freeze, as a cold brew or as a hot cocoa. Dutch Bros has not announced its 2026 holiday menu yet, so the drink is not confirmed for this year. The holiday menu started on November 1 in both 2024 and 2025.
What Is in the Dutch Bros Candy Cane Mocha?

Candy Cane Mocha Calories and Caffeine
Dutch Bros does not currently publish nutrition numbers for the Candy Cane Mocha. Its old product page now redirects to the seasonal menu, and the current Dutch Bros nutritional guide does not list any peppermint drink. Because of that, we do not give calorie or caffeine numbers here. Any exact number you see elsewhere is not from a current official Dutch Bros source.
What we can say: the coffee versions contain espresso or cold brew, so they have caffeine, and Soft Top adds calories and sugar. For official numbers on the year-round drinks, use our Dutch Bros calorie calculator.
How to Order a Lighter Candy Cane Mocha
- Skip the Soft Top or ask for less.
- Order a Small (12 oz hot or 16 oz iced).
- Ask for a milk swap; Dutch Bros lists its milk choices in the app (see our milk options guide).
- Note: the Dutch Bros nutritional guide lists sugar-free caramel, white chocolate and hazelnut, but no sugar-free peppermint, so ask your barista what is possible.
