Coca-Cola’s holiday soda is coming back, and yes, the Zero Sugar version is coming with it.
Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla returns October 12, 2026, according to the brand’s announcement. Both versions will be available at most U.S. retailers and online at coca-cola.com for a limited time.
So if your holiday grocery list has room for something beyond peppermint coffee and hot chocolate, here’s a cold option to put on it.
What is Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla?
This is a returning seasonal Coca-Cola flavor, first introduced in 2025. Coca-Cola describes it as its familiar cola taste with smooth, creamy vanilla flavor.
The two options are Coca-Cola Holiday Creamy Vanilla and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Holiday Creamy Vanilla. Both are part of the 2026 holiday return.
When does it come back, and where can you get it?
The announced return date is Monday, October 12, 2026. Coca-Cola says both versions will be sold at most retailers across the U.S., as well as online at coca-cola.com.
You’ll have two package options: 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and 20-ounce bottles. A bottle is the smaller commitment if you’re curious; the 12-pack is there if you already know this is your holiday soda.
“Most retailers” does leave some room for local availability to vary. Check your store’s listing before making a special trip. The announcement does not include a price or an exact date when the limited-time run ends.

Coca-Cola has more holiday plans coming
The flavor’s return is part of Coca-Cola’s broader 2026 holiday celebration. The brand says festive packaging, new creative, the Holiday Caravan and other holiday activations are also coming during the season.
The announcement does not include Caravan stops or dates, so there’s no local event schedule to plan around yet.
For the soda, though, the date is straightforward: October 12. Regular or Zero Sugar, cans or a bottle. Holiday grocery shopping apparently starts before the Halloween candy is gone.
