SONIC has launched new soda options for customers, but they’re only available for a limited time.
There are four drink variations, all with popular bases and mixed with several tasty flavors.

Some may have already gotten their hands on the first two — The Paris and The Nicole, introduced earlier in December, per a press release.
Inspired by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, the two are included together in a Sonic Iconic Drinks collection.
The collaboration comes as the pair of pop culture legends promoted the launch of their show, Paris & Nicole: The Encore, which premiered on Peacock on December 12.
Each can be bought for $3.99 for a medium at any of Sonic’s over 3,500 drive-ins nationwide.
Those who buy The Nicole will find a Dr Pepper base, along with vanilla, “sleek & berry sweet” flavoring, sweet cream, real strawberries, whipped topping, and more real strawberries on top.
It’s been called a “Dirty Strawberry Dr Pepper” by food insiders like Snackolator in a review on Facebook.
For The Paris, it’s a Sprite base and dragon fruit flavoring, along with “real lemon and lime fruits,” per the release.
There’s also whipped topping and Nerds candy sprinkles.
HOLIDAY BONUS
The two other specially flavored and limited-time drinks also popped up on Sonic’s menu more recently to celebrate the holiday season — the Buttery Brew Barq’s Root Beer and Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper.
Some customers who got the Buttery Brew have been thrilled with its caramel and sweet cream-infused flavors.
Someone even compared it in a comment on Snackolator’s post to Butterbeer, a fictional drink detailed in the Harry Potter books and movies that is available at select locations, including Universal Orlando Resort, with similar caramel and butterscotch tones.
The Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper also caught some positive attention with its caramel, sugar cookie, and sweet cream additions.
“The sugar cookie Dr Pepper is so good,” one customer commented.
Another echoed the same thing, calling it “sooo good” as well.

Sonic customers can get four new soda flavor options this holiday season. They are listed below:

It’s unclear exactly when The Paris, The Nicole, the Butter Brew Barq’s Root Beer, and the Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper will be taken away, so interested Sonic fans must act fast before it’s too late.
MENU MADNESS
Sonic also made waves earlier this summer when it beat out giants like Burger King, McDonald’s, and Taco Bell with its permenant “Fun.99” menu.
The discounted menu offers several options for just $1.99.
They include the Chili Cheese Coney, Small Tots, Small Shake (in any of Sonic’s 12 flavors), Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger, Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, and Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap.
The two wraps were a brand-new offering at Sonic in July.
Ryan Dickerson, chief marketing officer with Sonic, emphasized that the fast food chain wanted to focus on affordability for customers.
“Now more than ever, guests are focused on affordable food options, but they shouldn’t have to settle for the same old, tired discounts or boring meals,” Dickerson noted in a press release at the time.
“The Fun.99 Menu is all about choice and fun, whether you want any of our dozen shake flavors, a chili cheese coney, or our iconic tots as a midday snack — it’s all there for just $1.99.”
Wendy’s also recently launched a $3 promotion for a limited time with the potential of free Frosties throughout all of 2025.
A fan-favorite menu item at McDonald’s is also listed for just $1 through December 30.
