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]
