Mountain Dew has built a strong reputation for teaming up with fast-food chains to create unique and buzzworthy flavors. From Taco Bell’s famous Baja Blast to Little Caesars’ Mango Rush, and most recently, KFC’s Dirty Soda-inspired Sweet Lightning, many of its popular flavors have been closely tied to drive-thru menus.
This time, however, Mountain Dew is shifting gears. Instead of partnering with restaurants, the brand is launching two new flavors directly on retail shelves. One of these is a Walmart exclusive.
Mountain Dew Dragon Fruit: A Walmart Exclusive Launching June 15
Starting June 15, Mountain Dew Dragon Fruit Soda will be available exclusively at Walmart. This bold new flavor mixes Mountain Dew’s classic citrus taste with the tropical sweetness of dragon fruit. The result is a juicy, vibrant soda that’s refreshing without being overly sweet—perfect for summer vibes.
The Dragon Fruit flavor comes in 20-ounce bottles and 12-packs of 12-ounce cans. It is expected to become a permanent fixture at Walmart, possibly replacing the current exclusive flavor, Frost Bite. However, fans should note there is no zero-sugar option for this variety at launch.
Mountain Dew Summer Freeze Returns Nationwide
Also arriving on store shelves June 15 is Mountain Dew Summer Freeze, a fan favorite that originally debuted in summer 2023. Inspired by classic red, white, and blue popsicles, this flavor combines nostalgia with Mountain Dew’s signature taste.
Unlike the Dragon Fruit flavor, Summer Freeze is available nationwide, including both regular and zero-sugar versions. It comes in 20-ounce bottles and 12-packs of 12-ounce cans. The flavor is seasonal and only available for a limited time, so fans should act quickly.
Early Reactions and What to Expect
Customers who tried Summer Freeze last year praised its unique yet refreshing profile. One Reddit user said, “It’s definitely different than most Dew limited-time flavors, but I love it so much. It’s unique enough to be fun, but down-to-earth enough to be refreshing.”
Exciting Times for Mountain Dew Fans
While Mountain Dew’s fast-food collaborations remain popular, the brand’s renewed focus on retail shelves offers new opportunities for fans to enjoy creative flavors anytime. Whether you’re curious about the new Dragon Fruit exclusive at Walmart or want to revisit the nostalgic Summer Freeze, both drinks will be available starting June 15—no drive-thru required.
