It\u2019s a party in the USA, and corporate America isn\u2019t shying away from the celebration, hoping to help Americans make their Fourth of July celebrations bigger, better and more festive than they\u2019ve been before. <\/p>\n

While the red, white and blue snacks are a summer staple, 2026 is a little different. As the United States nears its semiquincentennial, companies are launching America250 exclusives. <\/p>\n

Note: This list is not all-inclusive and availability may vary by location. While yearly favorites are returning, these highlights focus on releases specifically honoring the 250th anniversary. <\/i><\/p>\n

Savory snacks and sides<\/h3>\n

Velveeta<\/h4>\n

Italy may have invented the dish but Thomas Jefferson made it an American staple. No barbecue is complete without mac and cheese. In a nod to its historic run as Americans\u2019 comfort food, Velveeta is offering noodles shaped like the 50 states and stars. Currently, patriots can find these liquid-gold maps at Walmart. <\/p>\n

Cheez-It<\/h4>\n

Nothing celebrates our founding fathers like a ballpark frank and Cheez-It wants a hot dog real bad, so it is launching a chili cheese dog-flavored cracker for a limited time. It is also continuing its tradition of flag and star shapes \u2014 this year pulling double duty to support the U.S. Men\u2019s National Team as North America hosts the 2026 FIFA World Cup. <\/p>\n

Doritos<\/h4>\n

Ironically, the new flavor celebrating America\u2019s 250th, garlic parmesan, was seen by Canada first. However, according to Delish the chips are making their way stateside. One user on a Reddit thread describes the taste as \u201ccool ranch but with a hint of garlic.\u201d Look for them at Sam\u2019s Club, before they likely hit wider retail. <\/p>\n

Other Doritos flavors will also feature patriotic packaging in honor of America250. <\/p>\n

Ruffles and Frito-Lay<\/h4>\n

Ruffles is turning up the heat with Buffalo Wings chips, while Frito-Lay is leaning into spicy with a pickled twist version of its classic corn snacks.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Ruffles is dropping BUFFALO WINGS chips for the summer and this is a flavor that should be permanent!<\/p>\n

These will be arriving in stores soon as part of the 4th of July\/summer releases and should be at all retailers (I’ll update if that’s not the case).<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, SuperPretzel, which claims to be \u201cAmerica\u2019s favorite pretzel,\u201d has released a soft star-shaped version of its classic soft pretzel, according to Markie Devo.<\/p>\n

Ore-Ida Star Tots<\/h4>\n

The inventor of the tater tot is celebrating the big 2-5-0 with star-shaped spuds. These launched alongside a Jurassic lineup, the dino-tater tot because nothing says America quite like tater tots shaped like a star and a T-Rex. <\/p>\n
