Why is Dole Whip returning to Costco?

Dole Whip is back at Costco for summer

Dole Whip is making a seasonal return to Costco this summer, and the lineup is expanding beyond the familiar flavors.

The news for shoppers is twofold: first, Costco freezer customers will see Dole Whip products back in stores for the warmer months; second, this year includes a new flavor called Tropical Guava Passion. That means people who normally build their summer dessert runs around Dole Whip may find a refreshed option alongside the classic concept.

This matters because Costco seasonal items often move quickly once they’re stocked, and a new flavor can change what people plan to buy for parties, hot-day treats, or quick dessert routines. It also signals that Dole is still targeting big-box retailers with limited-time summer demand—exactly the kind of timing that tends to matter for frozen impulse purchases.

From a planning standpoint, shoppers may want to treat the restock as time-sensitive: if you’re specifically looking for Tropical Guava Passion, it’s tied to the summer window rather than a year-round shelf item.

No further details were provided about pricing, package size, or how long the items will remain in Costco freezers.
