Pepsi’s holiday drink is taking the vanilla-and-cream route this year, and you don’t have to choose between trying it and sticking with a zero-sugar soda.
Pepsi Vanilla & Cream and Pepsi Zero Sugar Vanilla & Cream began their nationwide U.S. rollout October 19, 2026. Both are limited-time releases, according to Pepsi’s announcement.
What to look for at the store
The new flavor comes in 12-pack cans and 20-ounce bottles, in both Original and Zero Sugar. Check for the full Vanilla & Cream name on the package; Pepsi’s Wild Cherry & Cream is a different flavor.
Pepsi describes this one as its cola with vanilla and cream flavors. That’s the brand’s description, not a taste test from us.
A nationwide rollout doesn’t mean every store has stocked it on day one. Check your local retailer’s listing before making a special trip, and make sure you’re selecting the Original or Zero Sugar version you want.
Pepsi hasn’t listed a nationwide suggested price or an exact end date in the launch announcement.
