Late last year, we learned that Mountain Dew’s annual mystery flavor VooDew would not be returning for the 2025 Halloween season. There were rumors that instead we’d be getting a collaboration between Trolli and Mountain Dew, and on Thursday, the two iconic brands officially announced the partnership.
The collaboration unites two brands known for their willingness to push creative boundaries and deliver unexpected flavor experiences. For the partnership, they are launching two limited-edition, innovative, tangy, and sweet products: Trolli x Mountain Dew Sour Brite Crawlers gummi candy and Mountain Dew Zero Sugar x Trolli Cherry Lemon, bringing the products to life in both chewy gummy candy and a refreshing beverage.
Trolli x Mountain Dew Sour Brite Crawlers feature three bold flavor combinations in every bag: Original Citrus, Original Citrus x Cherry, and Original Citrus x Blue Raspberry. Each crawler delivers the signature Mountain Dew citrus taste that fans love, perfectly balanced with the soft and chewy sour gummy candy texture you know and love from Trolli.
“Trolli stands for taking bold risks and creating unexpected flavor experiences, and pairing with Mountain Dew delivers on our consumers’ love of daring to think differently,” said Chad Womack, Brand Director at Trolli. “When you combine the signature citrus kick of Mountain Dew with our soft, chewy sour gummy candy texture, you get something truly next-level tasty. These Trolli crawlers deliver that unmistakable Mountain Dew taste in a completely new way that’s going to surprise and delight fans of both brands.”
Taking the partnership even further, Mountain Dew Zero Sugar x Trolli Cherry Lemon brings the flavors to life in an exciting limited-time beverage. This bold fusion combines the citrus kick of Mountain Dew with the tangy flavor of Trolli Cherry Lemon Sour Brite Crawlers, creating a uniquely refreshing beverage that’s sweet, sour, and 100% exhilarating.
“Mountain Dew is always innovating bold new flavors, making Trolli the ideal partner for a one-of-a-kind mashup. Together, we’ve combined two iconic brands to create the perfect sweet and sour taste experience that’s truly irresistible,” said Michael Smith, VP of Flavored CSD Marketing, PepsiCo Beverages U.S. “We’re taking everything fans love about the Trolli Cherry Lemon Sour Brite Crawlers and translating that into a refreshing zero sugar experience that’s bursting with citrus kick flavor.”
The Trolli x Mountain Dew Sour Brite Crawlers will hit shelves at select retailers nationwide beginning in August, available in three convenient package sizes to satisfy every craving: 4.25oz, 6.3oz, and 12.3oz packs.
Mountain Dew Zero Sugar x Trolli Cherry Lemon will be available starting August 25, 2025, exclusively at Walmart, and will begin rolling out nationwide on September 8, 2025, in 20-oz bottles and 12-pack 12-oz cans. This limited-time collaboration is exclusively zero-sugar and is available while supplies last.
While I’m sad that we won’t be getting a new VooDew mystery flavor for 2025, I’m at least happy to see that Mountain Dew is giving us a Halloween treat-inspired flavor for the season, even if it’s not officially a Halloween product.
