Sip in Style: The Dutch Bros Color Changing Straw Drop
Mark your calendars for January 21! Dutch Bros is releasing limited edition color changing straws at shops across the country. Here is everything you need to know to secure this freebie before it sells out.
Dutch Bros fans are gearing up for the first major merch drop of 2026. On January 21, the coffee chain is giving away free color changing straws with the purchase of a medium or large beverage. These straws are a fan favorite because they react to the temperature of your iced Rebel or cold brew, making your morning caffeine run a bit more colorful.
If you want to guarantee you get one, you should plan to arrive early. Many shops see long lines starting at 5:00 a.m. local time. These drops are strictly "while supplies last," and once they are gone, they usually do not restock. You can use the Dutch Bros app to find your nearest location and check if they are participating in the event.
