Mountain Dew and 7-Eleven have announced an exciting new addition to their menu, coinciding with the celebration of a significant milestone – the 60th anniversary of the Slurpee. Just in time for this year’s Slurpee Day, which will be celebrated on Saturday, July 11, the companies are introducing the limited-time Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee. This exclusive flavour is a delightful blend inspired by the flavours associated with birthday cake, featuring a fusion of vibrant citrus with sweet vanilla icing.

The introduction of the Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee marks a unique take on a classic summer treat. In a recent press release, 7-Eleven detailed that the drink encapsulates the joy of a lemon cake, offering customers a refreshing and sweet option on a hot day. As part of the Slurpee Day festivities, customers will be able to enjoy a complimentary small Slurpee, adorned with colourful sugar crystals, served in a commemorative cup designed to honour the anniversary.
The celebration does not stop there; selected 7-Eleven and Speedway locations will be hosting a special event dubbed the ‘Slurpee Date’. This initiative invites couples and friends to exchange the usual dinner plans for a relaxed outing centred around enjoying Slurpees. The event aims to create a casual atmosphere for first dates and gatherings with friends, bringing a nostalgic feel to the experience of sipping on these beloved drinks.
JaNa Craig, a former contestant from Love Island USA, shared her enthusiasm for the Slurpee Date concept, noting its appeal for those looking to connect in a more laid-back setting. “There’s something special about the friendly vibes associated with sharing a Slurpee drink, making it an ideal choice for a first date,” Craig remarked, highlighting the light-hearted essence this initiative aims to convey.
Beyond the summer festivities, Mountain Dew is also paying homage to its own rich history. In a nod to its origins dating back to 1948, the company has announced the release of 1,948 limited-edition bundles. Each bundle features a specially designed 5-cent can alongside a 10-pack of Mountain Dew mini cans. This offer is part of the “American Original — Tasting Great Since ’48” campaign, which seeks to celebrate the brand’s heritage and connection to its roots in Tennessee.
As Mountain Dew strives to honour its legacy, it emphasizes the brand’s culture of innovation and quality that began with two brothers in the hills of Tennessee. The campaign reflects not only a celebration of its founding year but also resonates with the spirit of independence and originality that Mountain Dew champions today.
Slurpee Day promises to be a festive occasion for fans of the iconic drink. By offering free Slurpees and creating a unique social opportunity through the Slurpee Date event, 7-Eleven and Mountain Dew are set to attract both loyal customers and newcomers keen to partake in the celebration.
As the day approaches, customers are encouraged to mark their calendars for July 11 and take part in the festivities at participating locations. The combination of a free refreshing drink and a fun, approachable atmosphere makes for an ideal summer outing. Whether it’s commemorating years of Slurpee history or enjoying the new Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee, this year’s Slurpee Day is shaping up to be an exciting celebration of community, nostalgia, and taste.
