Coca-Cola debuts new flavor for the holidays


This holiday season, Coca-Cola is introducing a limited-edition beverage that combines the traditional taste of Coke with a hint of vanilla for a festive flair.

WASHINGTON — Just in time for the festive season, Coca-Cola is unveiling its first new holiday flavor in five years: Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla. This limited-edition drink promises to bring a seasonal twist to the iconic soda.

Marketed as a “festive twist on the classic taste,” this special edition fuses the beloved flavor of Coca-Cola with “smooth, creamy vanilla notes” designed to encapsulate the spirit of the holidays.

Consumers can enjoy this seasonal beverage in both regular and zero-sugar options, available in 12-ounce cans and 20-ounce bottles starting November 3, throughout the U.S. and Canada.

For those in search of a larger serving, a 2-liter version will be available exclusively at Walmart, but only in the regular formulation.

The regular variant contains 150 calories and 42 grams of sugar per 12-ounce serving, while the Zero Sugar version boasts zero calories and no sugar.

While the drink will retain the familiar Coca-Cola branding, the company told USA Today its packaging will “authentically emulate (the) smooth flavors” the vanilla addition provides. 

Coca-Cola also announced Monday its 2025 holiday campaign will be anchored by three new films: a “A Holiday Memory” and two AI-driven reimaginations of the classic 1995 Coca‑Cola spot, “The Holidays are Coming.”

The company noted that while it used AI tools for the new spots, the music used in the films were performed and sung by real artists.

Last month, Coca-Cola confirmed it had officially begun its transition to using U.S. cane sugar in its cola following a push by President Donald Trump. For now, the rollout only includes 12-oz single-serve glass bottles in “select U.S. markets.”
