BuzzBallz Turkey & Nutcracker Costumes for Its Giant Cocktails

BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Costumes Bring Giant Cocktails to Friendsgiving and Christmas

The new BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection is aimed at two familiar occasions, Friendsgiving and the Christmas holiday party circuit, where people are always looking for something different to bring along. The Friendsgiving Turkey costume gives the giant cocktail fabric feathers, wings, a beak and orange feet, essentially turning a 7-pound Boulder into a substitute holiday bird for anyone who would rather bring drinks than spend the day worrying about whether the turkey is cooked. The Holiday Nutcracker takes a different route, leaning into oversized, nostalgic holiday decorations and the kind of White Elephant gift that people will remember long after the party ends.

It’s a funny idea, but there’s a real product behind the costumes. BuzzBallz Boulders are three-liter ready-to-drink cocktails made for sharing, with 15% ABV and six flavors in the current lineup, including Strawberry ‘Rita, Lime ‘Rita, Berry Cherry Limeade, Tropic Tang, Pink Lemonsqueezy and Grapes Gone Wild. Each holiday bundle includes a Strawberry ‘Rita Boulder and one of the reusable costumes for $29.99, plus shipping, and the costumes are designed to fit other Boulder flavors too. The catch is the limited supply: BuzzBallz says just 40 of each costume design will be available, with online drops scheduled for November 10 and November 17 at 1 p.m. ET.

A giant cocktail dressed like a turkey. It is certainly one way to get people talking about what you’re bringing to Friendsgiving, and the Nutcracker version could have a second life as a holiday decoration once the drinks are gone. BuzzBallz is putting the limited-edition collection up for sale through EQL, and here’s the full announcement with the release dates, pricing and details on both costumes.

BUZZBALLZ GIVES HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING A BOULD-ER MAKEOVER WITH GIANT COCKTAIL COSTUMES

Forget tasteful tablescapes: BuzzBallz is embracing the kitschy holiday decor craze with unexpectedly epic Friendsgiving Turkey and Holiday Nutcracker costumes for its giant, three-liter Boulders.

Louisville, KY (November 4, 2026) – The holidays come with plenty of tough decisions, from what to bring to Friendsgiving and who’s hosting the holiday gift exchange to whether anyone actually knows how to cook the turkey. This year, BuzzBallz is taking at least one thing off your plate with the BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection, a limited-edition lineup of festive Turkey and Nutcracker costumes that dress up the brand’s supersized, 7-lb ready-to-drink offering. After all, why show up with another side dish or ordinary bottle of wine when you can bring a giant cocktail dressed for the occasion? 

Putting a playful spin on classic holiday gifting and traditions, the BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection features two limited-edition looks designed to bring epic unexpectedness to the party:

• Friendsgiving Turkey: Can’t cook? Don’t care? Perfect. BuzzBallz is solving the Friendsgiving turkey dilemma with a Boulder dressed as the main course. Complete with fabric feathers, wings, a beak and orange feet, it’s the ultimate retro, holiday centerpiece and ready-to-serve cocktail for the group, minus the hours in the kitchen.
• Holiday Nutcracker: Forget cracking nuts. This Nutcracker is here to bust Ballz. Inspired by the gloriously over-the-top holiday spirit of the ’90s, BuzzBallz is giving its giant three-liter Boulders a festive makeover, creating the ultimate holiday party showstopper and the gift everyone will be fighting to steal at their White Elephant.

Equal parts ridiculous and ridiculously functional, these reusable costumes make holiday entertaining as easy as dress, pour and join the party. Simply slip one onto your BuzzBallz Boulder, serve up your favorite cocktails and pack it away until next season. Think of it as a new holiday tradition, with a little less prep and a lot more personality.

“Our fans have never been shy about showing their love for BuzzBallz, and we’ve seen them take our merch to places we never imagined. That creativity is part of what makes this brand so special,” said Jess Scheerhorn, President of BuzzBallz. “With the holidays coming up, we wanted to give our fans something unexpectedly epic to add to their holiday celebrations. Our Boulders are already made for sharing, so why not dress them up for the occasion? It’s a simple way to bring a lot more fun to holiday gatherings and kickstart a new tradition that sticks around for years to come.”

The limited-edition BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection will launch in two drops on November 10 and November 17 at 1:00pm ET, just in time for Friendsgiving and holiday celebrations. Available for purchase online via EQL at https://www.buzzballz.com/bouldersholiday/, each purchase includes a Strawberry ‘Rita BuzzBallz Boulder and chosen holiday costume for $29.99 plus $5 shipping. While bundled with Strawberry ‘Rita, the reusable costumes are designed to fit any Boulder flavor, so fans can mix, match, and dress up their favorites year after year, making it a festive new tradition that keeps on giving. Quantities are limited, with just 40 of each costume design available while supplies last. The collection is available exclusively to adults 21 and older.

For those unfamiliar with the giant cocktails getting dressed up for the holidays, BuzzBallz Boulders are three liter ready-to-drink mixed drinks in one supersized container made to share. Available nationwide, BuzzBallz Boulders feature 15% ABV and come in six bold flavors: Berry Cherry Limeade, Lime ‘Rita, Strawberry ‘Rita, Tropic Tang, Pink Lemonsqueezy and Grapes Gone Wild.

The BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection is intended exclusively for adults aged 21 and older. All designs are intended solely for adult holiday entertaining and decorative purposes. Please enjoy responsibly.

BuzzBallz is a ready-to-drink cocktail brand known for its distinctive round packaging, colorful presentation and strong cocktail-inspired flavors. Founded in 2009 and based in Carrollton, Texas, BuzzBallz built its identity around making premixed cocktails convenient, portable and easy to recognize. The brand has grown from a single-serve cocktail concept into a broader lineup that includes traditional BuzzBallz cocktails, larger-format drinks and the supersized BuzzBallz Boulders collection.

The company’s approach has always been different from the conventional ready-to-drink cocktail package. Instead of relying on familiar cans and bottles, BuzzBallz uses a recognizable spherical container that has become a major part of its brand identity. The packaging is bright, compact and designed to stand out in retail coolers, while the cocktail lineup focuses on approachable flavors inspired by popular mixed drinks, fruit combinations and familiar bar favorites.

BuzzBallz offers a wide range of flavors, including Lime ‘Rita, Chili Mango, Berry Cherry Limeade, Lotta Colada, Strawberry ‘Rita, Pink Lemonsqueezy, Tropic Tang and Grapes Gone Wild. The lineup has continued to evolve through new releases and limited-edition flavors, giving the company opportunities to reach consumers looking for something beyond traditional beer, wine and spirits purchases. Many of the products are bottled at 15% alcohol by volume, delivering a stronger ready-to-drink cocktail option in a convenient single-serve format.

One of the brand’s most recognizable product extensions is BuzzBallz Boulders. These three-liter ready-to-drink cocktails take the familiar BuzzBallz concept and expand it into a larger format designed for sharing. The Boulders lineup includes flavors such as Berry Cherry Limeade, Lime ‘Rita, Strawberry ‘Rita, Tropic Tang, Pink Lemonsqueezy and Grapes Gone Wild. At 15% ABV, the larger containers are positioned for parties and group occasions where consumers want a ready-made cocktail option without having to mix individual drinks.

BuzzBallz has also developed a reputation for using creative merchandise and unusual promotional campaigns to support its cocktail releases. The brand has introduced accessories and limited-edition products connected to its flavors, including fashion-inspired BuzzBagz, the Twangy Chapz promotion for Tropic Tang and holiday decorations built around the company’s recognizable packaging. These campaigns extend the brand beyond the beverage itself, turning BuzzBallz merchandise into collectible items and conversation pieces for fans.

The company’s willingness to experiment with packaging and promotional ideas is particularly visible in the BuzzBallz Boulders Holiday Collection. The limited-edition Turkey and Nutcracker costumes take the three-liter cocktail format and give it a seasonal personality, connecting the product with Friendsgiving parties, Christmas gatherings and holiday gift exchanges. It is an extension of the same playful branding that has helped BuzzBallz establish a recognizable presence in the ready-to-drink cocktail category.

BuzzBallz is part of the wider spirits and beverage business following its acquisition by Sazerac, the privately held spirits company with a portfolio of established whiskey, vodka, rum and other beverage brands. The relationship places BuzzBallz within a larger distribution and brand-development organization while allowing the cocktail brand to continue building its own identity.

Today, BuzzBallz remains focused on ready-to-drink cocktails, distinctive packaging, new flavor introductions and unconventional brand promotions. From its original single-serve cocktails to its three-liter Boulders, the company has built a product range intended for convenience and social occasions.
