Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cinnamon will not return to UK shelves this Christmas, as the soft drinks giant introduces a new festive flavour for the first time in Britain. The 2025 limited edition is being replaced by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Holiday Creamy Vanilla, which will be available in 500ml bottles, two-litre bottles and eight-can multipacks.
New flavour revealed on social media
New Foods UK shared an image of the beverage on Instagram, announcing it will be stocked in supermarkets "any time now". The caption read: "Brand new Holiday Creamy Vanilla Coca-Cola coming to shops any time now!"
The drink was first introduced in the United States in November last year, where fans have already sampled the cream-soda style flavour. Their reactions have been enthusiastic, with one Coke lover saying: "Had the US (non-zero) version last year and loved it. Will be stocking up."
Fans share their excitement
Another person wrote: "Tried this in America when I was on holiday last year and LOVED it! Can't wait." A third added: "I've been looking for diet vanilla Coke for ages! Glad it's coming back!"
One Instagram user asked: "What makes it 'holiday creamy' rather than everyday vanilla?" Another replied: "It's more cream soda-like than vanilla. I had the full sugar version in the US last year and it was decently done but not had the zero version."
Official launch statement
Charlotte Butt, senior brand manager at Coca-Cola Great Britain, said: "Coca-Cola and the festive season have always been a special combination, and this year we're excited to bring fans something new to enjoy."
She added: "We know that holiday flavour-seekers are increasingly looking for new and exciting taste experiences and would be interested in trying Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla, which brings a smooth, creamy vanilla twist to the iconic Coca-Cola taste. We hope this gives people another reason to pause and enjoy a moment for themselves this festive season."
The American launch was accompanied by a product description that read: "Looking for something new to sip on this holiday season? Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Holiday Creamy Vanilla is here to make your celebrations extra special." It described the drink as offering "a Coca-Cola taste you love with zero sugar and zero calories, paired with a smooth and creamy vanilla flavour that's perfect for the festive season". The description also suggested pairing it with dishes like roasted turkey or baked ham, and noted it adds "a little extra sparkle to every occasion".
