Coca-Cola's Latest Release Is a Fresh Twist on a Classic Flavor

Coca-Cola is diving deep into the nostalgia pool with its brand-new flavor.

On Monday, the soda giant announced that it's releasing Coca-Cola Orange Cream. According to the brand, the new drink is a "delicious taste of Coca-Cola infused with refreshing orange and smooth, creamy vanilla flavors."

And while it's an all-new flavor, Coca-Cola explained that the twist is really an old favorite.

"Orange Cream is a cultural force. It’s been around since 1905 but has seen a renaissance, with interest growing incrementally over the last 10 years," the brand explained, noting an increase in Google search data. "This flavor was crafted in response to consumer demand for the iconic and nostalgic taste of orange cream."

The new drink will hit shelves in the United States and Canada on February 10 and will be available as both Coca-Cola Orange Cream and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Orange Cream, and if you can't find it in your local store, you can always grab a case at coca-cola.com.

"Coca-Cola Orange Cream intends to reconnect consumers with a beloved flavor tradition while pushing the boundaries of taste," Sue Lynne Cha, vice president of Marketing at Coca-Cola North America, shared with Food & Wine. "By blending our iconic Coca-Cola formula with refreshing orange and smooth creamy vanilla flavors, we are introducing an all-new beverage that reimagines the classic Coca-Cola experience. This launch underscores our ongoing commitment to innovation and reimagining classic flavors, and we can’t wait for our fans to try."

The soda company really has been on a tear over the last few years with flavor drops. In 2023, the brand dropped its first AI-generated soda, Coca-Cola Y3000, which was indeed meant to taste like the year 3,000. In August of 2024, it released the limited-edition Coca-Cola Oreo Zero Sugar soda in partnership with the cookie brand, and in October, the Coca-Cola company announced it was also bringing back Barrilitos, a beloved soft drink from Monterrey, Mexico, that originally launched in 1938. And finally, in November, it unveiled its latest seasonal flavors for its Freestyle machines that are each inspired by vacation, including Sprite Cherry Pineapple Punch, Coca-Cola Tropical, and Sprite Pineapple. So, odds are you can expect more nostalgia-inducing sodas to come throughout 2025, too.
