RYSE’s Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes protein shake is listed at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC for $39.99 a 12-pack. Here’s what else Christmas Tree Cakes fans can find this year.
Little Debbie’s Christmas Tree Cakes now come in a bottle.
RYSE has a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes protein shake, and it’s listed at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. Both stores had it at $39.99 for a 12-pack and showed it in stock online when we checked Friday, Oct. 30.
Vitamin Shoppe calls it a “Limited Time Flavor,” and its Q&A section calls it a “Holiday season flavor.”
What is the RYSE Christmas Tree Cakes protein shake?
It’s a ready-to-drink shake in the flavor of Little Debbie’s holiday snack cake. The Vitamin Shoppe pack has 12 bottles, each 12 fluid ounces, which comes to $3.33 a serving.
Each shake has 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, 2 grams of total sugars and 0 grams of added sugars, according to the Vitamin Shoppe listing.
Where can you buy the Christmas Tree Cakes shake?
Online is your best bet for now. When we checked, Vitamin Shoppe showed it in stock with shipping arrival dates of Nov. 1 to 2.
GNC also had it in stock online, marked “New,” but in-store pickup wasn’t available at the store we checked.
RYSE’s own site had the shake listed earlier this month, but it was “not available for purchase” yet, Stack3d reported Saturday, Oct. 17.
We couldn’t confirm a single-bottle price, or whether Target or Walmart will carry it.
Is this RYSE’s first Little Debbie shake?
No. RYSE’s first Little Debbie ready-to-drink shake was Pumpkin Spice Rolls, which also had 30 grams of protein, Tasting Table reported Sept. 3.
That one cost about $2.99 a bottle, or $39.99 for a 12-pack at Target.
RYSE has done Christmas Tree Cakes before, too. Its Loaded Protein powder in the flavor debuted in 2024, came back in 2025 and is back again for 2026, Stack3d reported.
A 27-serving tub is $54.99, and RYSE’s product page showed “Sold Out” when we checked Oct. 30. H-E-B lists a 2.10-pound tub for $44.98.
Is Little Debbie teaming up with Pepsi?
There’s no sign of it. On Oct. 30, the snack account @snackolator on X said Holiday Pepsi goes great with Little Debbie, but that’s a fan pairing.
Pepsi’s holiday flavor this year is Pepsi Vanilla & Cream, plus a Zero Sugar version. It rolled out nationwide on Monday, Oct. 19, for a limited time, in 12-pack cans and 20-ounce bottles.
PepsiCo’s announcement doesn’t mention Little Debbie, and we haven’t seen either brand announce a collab.
What other Christmas Tree Cakes merch is out this season?
Little Debbie’s online shop lists a 12-inch ceramic Christmas Tree Cake LED Decoration that lights up on its own in dim light. The shop calls it a “Seasonal exclusive, available this holiday season only.” No price was shown when we checked.
We couldn’t confirm whether it’s new this year. Little Debbie’s 40th-anniversary merch in 2025 also included an LED cake tree, The Shelby Report reported.
We’ve already covered two other Christmas Tree Cakes tie-ins this fall: the coffee creamer on Oct. 9 and the inflatable on Oct. 4.
Are regular Christmas Tree Cakes back in stores?
Yes. McKee Foods, which makes Little Debbie, says its holiday lineup rolls out “mid-October through mid-December 2026” to stores nationwide.
Both Vanilla and Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes are back. Returning items also include Christmas Tree Brownies, Gingerbread Cookies, Cherry Cordials and Mini Christmas Tree Cake Donuts. The new items are Hot Cocoa Mini Muffins and Big Pack Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts.
The chocolate version had been on a break before it came back for 2025. A brand rep blamed “cocoa supply problems in the market,” Parade reported.
The cakes have been around since 1985, according to Little Debbie. Each one is golden yellow cake with creme filling, white frosting, green sprinkles and a red stripe.
