SONIC has launched new soft drink options for customers, but they are only available for a limited time.
There are four different types of drinks, all with popular bases and mixed with many delicious flavours.

Some may have already gotten their hands on the first two — Paris and Nicole, which were introduced earlier in December, according to a press release.
Inspired by Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, the two are included together in the Sonic Iconic Drinks collection.
The collaboration comes as the legendary pop culture duo hyped the launch of their show Paris & Nicole: The Encore, which premiered on Peacock on December 12.
Each can be purchased for $3.99 at the dealer at any of Sonic's more than 3,500 drive-thru malls nationwide.
Those who purchase The Nicole will find a Dr Pepper base, along with vanilla, a “elegant and sweet raspberry” flavor, sweet cream, real strawberries, whipped toppings, and more real strawberries on top.
Food insiders like Snackolator have called it “Dirty Strawberry Dr Pepper” in a Facebook review.
For The Paris, it's a Sprite base and dragon fruit flavor, along with “real lemon and lime fruits,” according to the release.
There's also whipped topping and Nerds candy sprinkles.
Holiday bonus
Two other specially flavored, limited-time drinks also appeared on Sonic's menu recently to celebrate the holiday season – Buttery Brew Barq's Root Beer and Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper.
Some customers who have had Buttery Brew have been thrilled with the caramel and sweet cream flavors.
Someone in a comment on Snackolator's post even compared it to Butterbeer, a fictional drink detailed in the Harry Potter books and movies available at select locations, including Universal Orlando Resort, with similar caramel and toffee undertones.
Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper also attracted some positive attention with its caramel, sugar cookie and sweet cream additions.
“The Dr. Pepper sugar cookie is so good,” one customer commented.
Another echoed the same thing, calling it “pretty 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, Butter Brew Barq's Root Beer, and Sparkling Sugar Cookie Dr Pepper will be removed, so interested Sonic fans should act quickly before it's too late.
List madness
Sonic also made waves earlier this summer when it beat out giants like Burger King, McDonald's, and Taco Bell with its permanent “Fun.99” menu.
The discounted menu offers several options for just $1.99.
They include the Chili Cheese Cone, Small Tots, Small Shake (in any of 12 Sonic flavors), the Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger, the Bacon Ranch Queso Wrap, and the Southwest Crunch Queso Wrap.
The two covers were a brand new offering at Sonic in July.
Ryan Dickerson, Sonic's chief marketing officer, confirmed that the fast food chain wanted to focus on affordability for customers.
“Now more than ever, guests are focusing on affordable dining 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 dozens of shake flavors, our chili cheesecake treats, or our signature kids midday snack – all available for just $1.99.”
Wendy's recently launched a limited-time $3 off promotion with free Frosties throughout 2025.
The fan-favorite menu item at McDonald's is also listed for just $1 through December 30.
