Ask and you shall receive. Last month, we noted that, while the grocery store is filled with dozens of holiday-themed sweets and snacks, there are very few festive sodas on the market. Since then, we’ve seen a handful of new and returning holiday beverages hitting shelves.
PepsiCo’s Sierra Mist Cranberry Blizz is back, along with Poppi’s Cranberry Fizz and the brand-new Ginger Fizz. Coca-Cola brought back its cult-favorite Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry, and one-offs such as Shirley Temple 7Up and Canada Dry’s Cranberry Ginger Ale are also back on shelves.
Sure, there haven’t been a ton of new holiday flavors, but Coca-Cola is about to change that.
Coca-Cola has a deep-rooted history in Christmas and the holiday season—the brand is the reason Santa Claus has a red suit, after all. So, in addition to bringing back its iconic “Holidays are Coming” commercial, Coca-Cola is releasing an all-new holiday soda.
New Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla Heading To Stores
Allrecipes / Coca-Cola
This winter, Coca-Cola is debuting a new Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla soda. The flavor is a combination of the classic, nostalgic Coca-Cola flavor and a sweet vanilla reminiscent of the holiday season. Plus, in joining the viral dirty soda trend (just like Pepsi), Coca-Cola’s new pop has a smoother and creamier taste—almost like a creamy vanilla Coke float.
The new Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla is launching in both full-sugar and zero-sugar varieties at retailers nationwide and Amazon Fresh beginning Nov. 3. You’ll find both the regular Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla and Zero Sugar Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla in 12-ounce cans as part of a 12-pack as well as 20-ounce bottles. Additionally, Coca-Cola is releasing the full-sugar holiday flavor in two-liter bottles exclusively at Walmart.
Some fans have already spotted the newest Coke flavor on shelves and are raving about it.
“That’s really good,” said @emfergalicious in a video on TikTok. “It kind of tastes like whipped cream and a Coke had a baby.”
“I need this immediately,” someone replied in the comments.
Coke’s new holiday flavor will only be around for a limited time. So, you’d better grab your first case soon since Holiday Creamy Vanilla seems to be a fast fave and you’ll want to enjoy as many bottles as you can before it disappears in the new year.
