Aldi brings back seasonal Pepsi flavour fans have been begging for

Pepsi Zero Sugar Gingerbread, a seasonal flavour that shoppers have been requesting, is back on Aldi shelves for a limited time. The drink is available in 2L bottles and eight-can packs, priced at £2.15 and £6.89 respectively.

Festive favourite returns

The Limited Edition Zero Sugar Pepsi Gingerbread combines the classic sugar free Pepsi taste with cinnamon, vanilla and ginger. Social media account New Foods UK spotted the product in Aldi this week, with just over two months to go until Christmas Day.

Shoppers have responded enthusiastically online. One person wrote: "Just bought 32 cans." Another commented: "I still have a can left from last time they were out. Took me months to find a shop selling it. Will have to look in Aldi next time I go in." A third declared: "It’s so nice! So glad they are back!" while a fourth said: "I need to try it."

Expansion into convenience stores

Pepsi's parent company, Carlsberg Britvic, explained the return in a statement: "Pepsi is kicking off the festive season by bringing back Pepsi Zero Sugar Gingerbread flavour into the convenience and wholesale channels. Back by popular demand following last year’s limited-edition run, the festive favourite is helping retailers tap into the key Christmas period by bringing together two much loved flavours, Pepsi and Gingerbread, in an exciting limited-edition flavour."

David Laidler, Brand Director of Carbonates at Carlsberg Britvic, added: "After the popularity of Pepsi Zero Sugar Gingerbread last year, we knew we had to bring it back even bigger, making it available to more shoppers by expanding into convenience stores. We know there is a real demand for new flavours, seasonal treats and affordable indulgence, so its expansion into convenience gives retailers an opportunity to create some festive cheer in-store and encourage shoppers to pick up a can or bottle over the Christmas season."

Mr Laidler continued: "We understand what a busy time Christmas can be for our customers, so as well as the limited-edition flavour, we wanted to celebrate them. We hope that our competition also brings some extra festive cheer to the people working hard behind the scenes."
