Pepsi Just Dropped a New Creamy Cola Flavor for the Holidays

Pepsi is giving its classic cola a creamy new twist just in time for the holiday season.

The brand announced October 19 that Pepsi Vanilla & Cream and Pepsi Zero Sugar Vanilla & Cream are now available nationwide for a limited time. The new flavors combine Pepsi's signature cola taste with rich vanilla and smooth cream flavors, offering a new option for fans looking to switch up their usual soda order.

Both varieties are available in 12-pack cans and 20-ounce bottles. The Zero Sugar version also contains zero calories, according to the company.

Pepsi is positioning the new drinks as an indulgent seasonal treat, whether shoppers want to pair them with their favorite holiday foods, serve them at a festive gathering or enjoy a cold soda at home.

"Pepsi has always known how to make great-tasting cola even more exciting, and our newest flavors are the latest example," Gustavo Reyna, Vice President of Marketing, Pepsi, said in a release shared with Parade . "If you're looking to indulge in a little treat this season, Pepsi Vanilla & Cream brings rich vanilla and smooth cream flavors to the unmistakable taste of Pepsi for something that feels nostalgic, new and undeniably delicious."

The launch builds on Pepsi's recent push into flavored colas. The brand has long offered varieties such as Pepsi Wild Cherry and Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry, and more recently introduced Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream and Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry & Cream.

Now, the Vanilla & Cream varieties are joining the lineup, giving shoppers another flavor to try as they stock their refrigerators ahead of the holiday season. Pepsi Vanilla & Cream and Pepsi Zero Sugar Vanilla & Cream are available at retailers nationwide while supplies last.
