Mountain Dew is celebrating 20 years of its popular Baja Blast flavor in a big way: by making it available in grocery stores for an entire year!
The flavor, which could only be found at Taco Bell locations from 2004-2014, made its way to store shelves for a few summers. But until now, Baja Blast has only been available at the fast-food chain year-round.
This time, the drink — in regular and zero-sugar varieties — will be available from January through December 2024 nationwide, so you have plenty of time to stock up.

If you’ve never had Baja Blast, it’s described as a “tropical lime flavor,” which explains why it’s usually popular in the summer.
Baja Blast is so beloved, in fact, that Mountain Dew even added the flavor to a limited-edition hot sauce last year and has made it a permanent addition to the Hard Mountain Dew lineup, which also includes regular, Watermelon and Livewire.
You can also find Hard Mountain Dew in a Baja Blast variety pack that includes Pineapple, Punch and Mango flavors. The alcoholic beverages contain 5% alcohol and have no sugar or caffeine, so you’ll need to stick to the regular soda if you’re looking for a pick-me-up.
