Fireball Whiskey has introduced a unique holiday stocking designed to "relieve" festive stress, filled with 35 shots of the brand’s signature cinnamon-flavored whiskey. This creative product was launched in response to a survey revealing that a significant portion of Gen Zers (62%) and Millennials (59%) admit that holiday gatherings leave them wishing they could “slap a relative” to cope with stress.

Danny Suich, the Global Brand Director for Fireball, emphasized the brand’s mission to meet unrecognized needs during the sometimes hectic holiday season. The infamous stocking not only comes with the whiskey, but it also encourages patrons to "slap" it for therapeutic relief, further solidifying the lighthearted, cheeky nature of the promotion.

To enhance the stocking’s appeal, Fireball consulted with John Davis, a professional “power-slapper," who humorously noted he has been “training for this my whole life.” He recommended an optimal form for the slap, advising people to “take a knee” in front of the stocking for the best effect.

In addition, the promotion features digital ads with social media influencer Hannah Stocking, who provides a cheerful rundown of the stocking’s uses—“Hang it! Slap it! And pour it!”—while dressed in festive attire.

Fireball’s inventive holiday stocking follows other unconventional product launches, such as “Crierball”—a whiskey made from the tears of losing football fans collected at major games, set to be available during the 2025-2026 football season.

The Fireball Whiskey stocking is currently available for $24.99 in select U.S. retailers, bringing a spirited twist to holiday cheer.
