True, the creamy Butterbeer drink, which boasts nummy notes of both butterscotch and shortbread, is available around the themed land all year long, but come the late winter and springtime, Butterbeer is in the sweet spotlight.
Butterbeer Season is creamily kicking off March 1 in 2025 and the sweet spotlight will shine on a new Butterbeer Cream Puff, three words that said in combination feel like an especially delightful and delicious spell.

The popular beverages are available in various forms, including frozen, cold, and hot. Or, if you prefer, "as icy as a spellbound snowfall," "as chilly as a spectral lake," and "as warm as dragon's breath." (Still, we might simply say "frozen," "cold" or "hot" when placing our order, for clarity's sake.)
A non-dairy Butterbeer is also available.
Some other Butterbeer-y bites will also materialize during this supernaturally snacky stretch, including Butterbeer-Flavoured Chocolate Bar and Butterbeer Caramel.
And the Ice Lolly frozen dessert, another fanciful funtime foodstuff, is coming back but for good; you'll now be able to enjoy this sweet eat in every season.
As for the all-important Butterbeer merchandise, including wearables that show your whimsical Butterbeery allegiances in fantastical fashion?
A fleece hoodie with a zipper, a tee, and other playful pieces will pop up during Butterbeer Season.
Universal Studios and NBC-owned TV stations operate under the same parent company NBCUniversal.
