9 editions

Columbia 2019 · 1 variant A Christmas paper wrap made for the Colombian market.
Turkish Christmas Bag 2014 · 1 variant A blue fabric drawstring bag printed with white snowflakes, made in Turkey for Christmas over a standard 700 ml blue label bottle.
Visibility 2013 · 1 variant A trial bottle built to make Absolut easier to pick out on a dark bar shelf, tested in on-premise sales only. It was discontinued and pulled from the market.
Also named Titania.
White 2011 · 2 variants A white hard-plastic case made with Selfridges for the festive season, over a standard blue label bottle, with the text on the glass also in white. It was sold only at Selfridges — Oxford Street, the Birmingham Bullring, the Trafford Centre, Manchester Exchange Square, and online.
Santa 2006 · 1 variant 120 bottles poured at a TBWA Christmas party in the United States, with L.O. Smith dressed as Father Christmas on the medallion. Never sold.
Snowflake 2005 · 5 variants The first of the end-of-year editions, and the start of a tradition Absolut has kept up ever since: a white hard-plastic case cut through with snowflakes, over a standard blue label bottle.
Blue Cozy 2003 · 1 variant A Cozy that never reached the shops. 500 were made in 2003 and the edition was never officially released.
Cozy 2001 · 3 variants Cynthia Rowley's insulating sleeve, and one of the largest runs Absolut has ever put out — a million of them, slipped into the Sunday editions of the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune in December 2001. A smaller run of 3,000 exists that was never cleared for distribution and was pulled from the market.
La Doudoune 1996 · 1 variant Possibly the first Absolut skin of all: a padded jacket for the bottle, designed by the Polish designer Irena Gregory and sold in selected Paris stores for Christmas 1996. 150 copies.
