Coca-Cola Has 2 Brand-New Sodas Coming to Stores Soon

For as much as we love classic Coca-Cola (and all the creative ways to enjoy it), we can’t help but get excited when the brand shakes things up. From last year’s (short-lived) Spiced flavor to a K-pop-inspired creation and even an Oreo collab, Coca-Cola has been keeping fans on their toes with new and unexpected flavors.

Now, we’ve got confirmation on the first new Coca-Cola flavor of the year, and while it’s technically brand-new, it feels like a nostalgic nod to a discontinued fan favorite.

New Coca-Cola Orange Cream

Coca-Cola has officially announced its latest flavor: Orange Cream. It’s everything we love about the classic Coke, infused with a refreshing orange and smooth, creamy vanilla taste. The new fruit-forward flavor is coming in both original and Zero Sugar varieties.

If the flavor sounds familiar, there’s a good reason why. Back in 2019, Coca-Cola launched Orange Vanilla and Orange Vanilla Zero Sugar to its lineup. But much to fans’ dismay, both varieties were quietly pulled from shelves in 2022, then disappeared from Freestyle machines just a few months ago. 

So, this new orange-flavored variation couldn’t be arriving at a better time. Fans of the original Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola are expecting it to serve as a worthy replacement. “I loved Orange Vanilla, so hopefully this one lives up!” one fan shared on Instagram. “When they took away Orange Vanilla Coke, it broke my heart, but this should make up for it,” added another. 

Now for the real question: what’s the difference between Orange Vanilla and Orange Cream? Coca-Cola hasn’t spilled the full details yet, but while some speculate marketing is the only differentiator, we’d like to think the brand has something more interesting in store for its fans.

Right now, it’s also unclear whether the new addition will be permanent, but there is hope. After all, its predecessor was previously part of Coca-Cola’s year-round lineup. If anything, the soda’s summery flavor profile has us convinced it will at least stick around for the first half of the year.

Coca-Cola Orange Cream and Orange Cream Zero Sugar are set to hit shelves this February, so keep an eye out for any early arrivals in stores. With this sunny new soda flavor on the horizon, the winter months are already starting to feel a bit brighter.
