SnackCrate has a new Holiday Special on its gift page: 6 months of snacks for $225 (listed against $281), plus a free Holiday Box that SnackCrate prices at $49 and its Premium Snack Club upgrade every month. SnackCrate calls it “the season’s best offer”. Here’s whether the math backs that up.
SnackCrate Holiday Special 2026: What You Get
- 6 months of SnackCrate, $225 (listed against $281)
- Free Holiday Box: 15 premium holiday snacks with a festive drink included, “$49 regular price” according to SnackCrate
- Premium Snack Club: a premium snack and a drink included every month
- Shipping: SnackCrate says each gift purchase includes free shipping
Every month, SnackCrate ships a box of snacks from a different country. The gift page defaults to the Original size (10 to 12 snacks, from $33.99); a Family size with 18 to 20 snacks starts at $55.99.

The Math: Holiday Special vs. a Regular 6-Month Gift
SnackCrate’s standard gift plans, as listed on the same page with the Original size selected:
- 1 month: $33
- 3 months: $99
- 6 months: $186
- 12 months: $336
Our math: the Holiday Special costs $39 more than the standard 6-month gift ($37.50 a month vs. $31). For that $39, you get the Holiday Box, which SnackCrate values at $49 on its own, plus six months of Premium Snack Club. If the stated value holds, the extras are worth more than the price difference. If you don’t care about the Holiday Box, the standard 6-month gift at $186 is still the cheaper way to give half a year of snacks.
What’s in the Holiday Box?
SnackCrate describes the Holiday Box as 15 premium holiday snacks with a festive drink but doesn’t list the items. The photo on this page is the holiday crate visual from SnackCrate’s site, so this year’s selection may differ. For a look at what a regular month contains, see our SnackCrate November 2026 Poland box.
How It Compares
If you’re choosing a snack gift this season, Universal Yums’ current free candy pack offer is the other big world-snacks deal right now. You can also compare plans on our SnackCrate box page.
Our Take
The Holiday Special is a good deal if you were already planning a six-month gift: $39 more brings a $49 holiday box and an upgraded box every month. It’s a worse fit for a one-off gift, where the $33 single month is the low-cost choice. SnackCrate doesn’t list an end date, so we’d expect this to be a holiday-season offer only. We haven’t tried this year’s Holiday Box.
Best for: snack lovers you want to surprise for half the year. Skip it if: you only want one box under the tree.
