Certain flavors just say “holidays,” like the warm richness of pumpkin pie, the tart zing of cranberry, and the sweet spice of gingerbread. This year, the makers of 5-hour Energy are celebrating these iconic holiday flavors with three limited-time, extra strength energy shots: Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry Lime, and Gingerbread Snap.
Whether you’re powering through early mornings, late nights, or holiday prep marathons, these festive 5-hour Energy flavors deliver a powerful boost—and because they contain no carbs or sugar, there’s no crash later to slow you down. Released on September 9, they are now available for a limited time exclusively at 5hourenergy.com and Amazon.
“These new holiday flavors are a fun way to celebrate the season while giving our fans the energy they need to get everything done,” said Leah Key, President of Living Essentials, LLC, the maker of 5-hour Energy products. “We continue to innovate and update our list of 17 tasty caffeine flavors. Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry Lime, and Gingerbread Snap bring a fun taste of the holidays to our classic energy shots!”
Pumpkin Spice
Packing all the cozy fall vibes into one shot, Pumpkin Spice blends earthy pumpkin with aromatic cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for that classic harvest-season flavor. It’s seasonal comfort in a compact energy boost. Sip it in your car on the way to work, or keep it in your bag for a mid-day revival when autumn’s chill slows you down.
Cranberry Lime
If tangy and tart is more your holiday style, Cranberry Lime is here for you. Crisp and refreshing cranberry meets a bright splash of lime, making for a flavor that’s lively—ideal for recovering from that Thanksgiving food coma or putting a little sparkle into your mocktails. Think festive, think energizing, think “hey, I got this.”
Gingerbread Snap
Sweet memories of holiday baking, warm kitchens, and that first bite of gingerbread—Gingerbread Snap delivers exactly that. Rich spices, molasses and ginger notes, and a sweet-snappy finish make this flavor feel like a treat, without needing to bake a tray of cookies. It’s an excellent pick-me-up before your evening party, after a long day shopping, or when you want something nostalgic.
Why You Need a Boost This Holiday Season
The holidays are a time of celebration with family and friends, but they’re also one of the busiest seasons of the year. All that hustle and bustle takes a toll. According to the Sleepopolis 2024 Holiday Stress Survey, 30% of people say they get less sleep than normal during the holidays, while 60% claim that their sleep is negatively affected when they are visiting others and sleeping away from home.
The 5-hour Energy holiday flavors are the perfect sugar-free way to keep your spirits up through the season, whether you’re racing to catch a flight, shopping for gifts, or hopping from party to party. They contain a number of naturally energizing ingredients, including niacin, essential vitamins B6 and B12, and an extra-strength energy blend that includes taurine, glucuronic acid, malic acid, N-acetyl L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine, citicoline, and 230 mg of caffeine. That’s as much energy as a 12-oz cup of coffee, all in one small, 2-oz bottle that’s a lot easier to carry around. Store it your car, at your desk at work, in your travel bag, or your coat pocket—wherever you need an energizing boost.
The Final Sip
This holiday season, keep your spirits bright with 5-hour Energy shots. With Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry Lime, and Gingerbread Snap, you don’t have to choose between festive flavor and functionality. Grab a shot and embrace the magic of the season.
