In an exclusive conversation with USA TODAY, Kristie Lewis, SVP of Merchandising at Bath & Body Works, said the collaboration, which took over a year and multiple rounds of testing to perfect, marked an exciting moment for two "beloved" brands to come together.

According to Lewis, both brands wanted to honor "the individuality of these princesses in a way that people and fans could relate to them," while "protecting the authenticity" of each character. The executive added that each princess was chosen after "deeply listening" to customers' preferences.


Lewis noted each fragrance aims to "really envelop the character" by reflecting their stories.

According to Lewis, the scent "is actually built with a note from each princess" and represents "the empowerment of all these amazing female characters coming together."

Lewis teased that each product in the collection includes "little Easter eggs about each of the princesses."

"We built these amazing concept mood boards to really characterize each one and what was important to her, and that helped the design and merchandising teams really come to life," Lewis said. "It's such a storytelling moment."

For example, in Snow White-themed products, Lewis confirmed that there are "tiny little apples planted throughout the pattern."

"They're not overt, but they're an Easter egg of nods to her story," she added.

On Feb.12, 2026, Bath & Body Works rewards members were able to have exclusive early access to select items from the collection including the full Life’s a Fairytale assortment (fine fragrance mist, body cream, Keepsake Music Box, PocketBac holder, etc.), a 3-wick candle pedestal and a mini fine fragrance mist gift set through the Bath & Body Works app.

It's time! The full nationwide rollout of Coffee Mate's new Harry Potter Butterbeer creamers and cold foam is here!


The partnership launched it products at select retailers in December 2025.

They feature notes of butterscotch, caramel, and cream soda, available in regular, zero-sugar creamer, and cold foam formats to bring the Wizarding World flavor to your daily coffee routine.

Inspiration: The flavors were inspired by treats from the Honeydukes sweet shop in Hogsmeade

After July, the nationwide rollout started in August 2025 for a limited time.


This initial release paved the way for the Butterbeer creamers and cold foams to join the magical lineup later in late 2025.

Amanda Zaydman, Nestlé's director of brand marketing for the coffee and beverage division, said:

“With the launch of our Harry Potter Butterbeer Flavoured Creamers and Cold Foam, we’re inviting fans to transform their daily brew into something truly enchanting. Our ongoing partnership with Warner Bros Discovery Global Consumer Products continues to inspire us to bring the flavours of the wizarding world to life in new ways, blending beloved storytelling with the Coffee Mate passion for flavour innovation."

Pricing is set at $4.49 for a 28oz creamer and $5.49 for a 14oz cold foam canister (prices may vary).
