Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla

Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla is a variation of Coca-Cola produced by The Coca-Cola Company, a combination of Coca-Cola Cherry and Coca-Cola Vanilla.

History

Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla was introduced in February 2020 in response to the popularity of the flavor combination at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.^[1][2] Its launch, along with that of Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla in 2019, represented a strategic shift to Coca-Cola introducing new brands under its core Coca-Cola branding, which had not occurred since 2007.^[2]

In 2022, the can was redesigned to be purple and gold to signify the combination of flavors.^[3]

In September 2024, Coca-Cola confirmed in an X post that Cherry Vanilla was being discontinued in its bottle form due to slumping sales and changing lifestyles. It is still available in a few retailers while supplies last. The flavor will remain in Coke Freestyle machines.^[4]
