Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze — December 10 Launch
Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze: Taco Bell's new frozen horchata drink goes nationwide December 10, 2026.
The Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze is a new frozen horchata drink launching nationwide on Thursday, December 10, 2026, for a limited time. No price or nutrition panel has been published yet — this page will be updated when they are.
The Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze is Taco Bell's new frozen horchata drink: the frozen addition to the horchata line that launched at the Live Más Cafés on October 15, 2026. It was not part of the café lineup — it first appears with the nationwide launch on Thursday, December 10, 2026, for a limited time.
The December 10 launch
Three drinks go to all Taco Bell restaurants nationwide on December 10, 2026: the Strawberry Horchata Refresca, the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca, and this drink, the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze. The other two café drinks — the Purple Horchata Chiller and the Chocolate Horchata Cold Brew Float — stay at the Live Más Cafés. The full café launch, with the press-release prices for the four café drinks, is the horchata drinks guide.
Price and calories — not yet published
No price and no nutrition panel has been published for the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze. The café prices for the Refrescas (medium $4.19 / large $4.59 in the press release) are the café drinks' prices, not this drink's — the Freeze's national price will be checked in the December data pass, when the national panels publish. Until then, this page carries the launch record only: no price, no calories, no estimate.
What horchata is
Horchata is the creamy, vanilla-and-cinnamon rice drink the whole line is built on. The Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca — the Freeze's unfrozen sibling, already on sale at the cafés — was the taste-test favourite of the launch, described as tasting like classic horchata. The Freeze is that flavour, frozen. Its own item page, once the December data pass records a price and a panel, will sit alongside the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca and the Strawberry Horchata Refresca in the drinks menu.
Launch facts on this page come from Taco Bell's October 15, 2026 press release (via PR Newswire, reported October 19), not from the sampled-price dataset — no price or nutrition panel has been published for this drink yet.
About this guide's data
Every figure in this guide comes from one dataset: sampled Taco Bell prices and published nutrition, compiled and verified in October 2026 (prices are re-checked monthly, and every data page carries its verification stamp). Rankings state their rule in the open and are computed from those rows — never voted on, never estimated. Where a value is missing it is shown as missing, and each named item links to its own page, where the full label, allergen record and sampled price range can be checked. Prices vary by location; nutrition values are the published figures for the standard build.
Frequently asked questions
When does the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze launch?
Thursday, December 10, 2026, nationwide, for a limited time. It was not part of the Live Más Café lineup, so it first appears with the national launch.
How much will the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze cost?
No price has been published yet. The café Refresca prices (medium $4.19 / large $4.59) are the café drinks' prices, not this drink's. The December data pass will check the national price when it publishes.
How many calories are in the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Freeze?
No nutrition panel has been published yet, so no calorie figure is claimed here. The December data pass will check the national panel when it publishes.
Is it the same as the Vanilla Spiced Horchata Refresca?
No — the Refresca is the café drink, already on sale at Live Más Cafés since October 15, 2026. The Freeze is the new frozen drink in the same Vanilla Spiced line, launching nationally on December 10.
Can I get it before December 10?
No — it was not part of the café lineup, so there is nowhere to buy it before the nationwide launch.
