Pepsi Vanilla & Cream officially hit shelves nationwide on Monday, Oct. 19, combining the classic taste of Pepsi with rich vanilla and smooth cream flavors. It's available for a limited time in regular and Zero Sugar versions, with 12-pack cans and 20-ounce bottles on offer.
Pepsi's announcement notes that people are a bit more adventurous with their taste buds during the holidays, sharing that three in four consumers are willing to try new beverages during the festive time of year.
For those who don't want the sugar, Pepsi Zero Sugar Vanilla & Cream offers the same flavor combination without sugar or calories, giving consumers another option if they're watching their sugar intake.
"Pepsi has always known how to make great-tasting cola even more exciting, and our newest flavors are the latest example," Gustavo Reyna, vice president of marketing at Pepsi, stated in a news release. "If you're looking to indulge in a little treat this season, Pepsi Vanilla & Cream brings rich vanilla and smooth cream flavors to the unmistakable taste of Pepsi for something that feels nostalgic, new and undeniably delicious."
Vanilla and cream aren't entirely new territory for Pepsi, which has continued to expand its flavored cola offerings over the years. Pepsi Wild Cherry and Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry have become familiar options for fans, while Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream and its Zero Sugar counterpart added another twist to the lineup.
Now, Vanilla & Cream joins that collection, offering a different take on the classic cola flavor — but it won't be around forever, so fans who want to try it will need to grab it while they can.
