While the notes of the iconic jingle are a constant ear worm, Fanta is more than just a bubbly, bright summer drink. As the spooky season approaches, Fanta takes over as the ultimate Halloween beverage.
Many soda lovers will remember Fanta’s Halloween offerings from 2025. The multitude of specialty flavors and packaging overlays excited horror movie fans. Whether it was Chucky or Michael, the classic characters with the signature flavors flew off the shelf.
For the 2026 season, Fanta released Dark Berry Punch which features Scream’s Ghost Face on the can. While many people will grab a can just for the label, the flavor is fun. Yes, it is berry sweet, which can be a little scary. The color is more happy vibes than horrific. A darker purple would have conveyed a frightening sentiment.
Overall, this year’s Halloween release captures what has become a popular mainstay at theme parks and other entertainment centers. Fanta drinks transform into multi-layered beverages. From mocktails to cocktails, there is something for everyone.
These Fanta-inspired drinks quenched people’s thirst for scary-season sippers. Theme parks events, like Universal Orlando Resort’s Halloween Horror Nights and SeaWorld Orlando’s Howl-O-Scream, put Fanta front and center on their menus. When another pumpkin ale falls flat, Fanta bubbles up a great taste that soothes the throat from all that screaming.
Fanta Halloween Beverages that Toast Creative Storytelling
At this year’s Halloween Horror Nights 35 at Universal Orlando Resort, Fanta has several specialty beverage locations throughout the theme park. The mocktails and cocktails feature Fanta sodas. Each one is another thread in this year’s Infernal Carnival of Nightmares.
For example, HHN 35 has three separate Fanta bars. All three serve special Fanta beverages for the particular location. They can be ordered as a cocktail or a mocktail.
Music Plaza Fanta Bar
The Music Plaza Fanta Bar features Strawberry Scrambler. The cocktail version includes Strawberry Scrambler St. Augustine gin, lemon juice, lavender syrup, Seagram’s club soda, and Fanta Strawberry.
While this cocktail sounds sweet, it has a delicate sweet and tart flavor. The club soda keeps it lighter. The floral lavender pairs well with the strawberry flavor. It is a combination that more cocktails should explore.
San Francisco Fanta Bar Beverages
At this location, the specialty drink is the Orange Bumper Car Blast. The cocktail version features New Amsterdam vodka, vanilla cream syrup, coconut milk, and Fanta Orange.
It is a sophisticated version of a creamsicle. While it is sweet, the coconut milk adds a luscious mouthfeel. This drink would be great blended. For anyone looking to recreate it at home, it is a tasty option.
World Expo Fanta Bar Beverages
At this location, the specialty drink is Pineapple Tilt-A-Whirl. While this beverage will not make your stomach twist and turn, it is quite playful. The ingredients include BACARDÍ Superior rum, cupcake syrup, coconut milk, and Fanta Pineapple.
Cupcake syrup adds sweetness, not necessarily a cakey note. It is more like birthday cake flavors than just plain cake. For anyone who likes a pina colada, this drink is a must try.
Keyholder Bar
A new location for HHN35, the Keyholder Bar is an exclusive space for Annual Passholders and hotel guests. The proper identification is required for entry.
This location has a specialty cocktail that includes Fanta, too. Frank’s Fizz includes New Amsterdam vodka, blue raspberry syrup, Sprite, and Fanta Orange. It can be enjoyed as a mocktail as well.
The combination of Sprite and Fanta Orange is quite enjoyable. Even though the blue raspberry syrup is a little juvenile, it is a fun combination.
From soothing a sore throat from all the screaming to finding some liquid courage to brave Hellraiser, you will wanna Fanta all night long.
