Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla is a variation of Coca-Cola, a mix of the flavors Coca-Cola Cherry and Coca-Cola Vanilla. They have been available on Freestyle fountains[1] and were also from 2020 to 2024 produced and sold in bottles and cans.It was introduced in packaged form by The Coca-Cola Company in February 2020 in response to the popularity of the flavor combination at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.[2][3] Its launch, along with that of Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla in 2019 (as well as Coca-Cola Cinnamon[4] and the Japan exclusive Coca-Cola Strawberry[5]) represented a strategic shift to Coca-Cola introducing new brands under its core Coca-Cola branding, which had not occurred since 2007.[3]
In 2022, the can was redesigned to be purple and gold to signify the combination of flavors.[6]
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. The flavor will remain in Coke Freestyle machines.[7]
In February 2026, Coca-Cola announced that a similar drink, Coca-Cola Cherry Float, would be released in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.[8][9][10]
