Pepsi has never failed to impress its fans with innovative flavors. Recently, it launched a limited-edition drink, Pepsi Zero Sugar Gingerbread, as an addition to its holiday lineup.

Now, the brand is gearing up to captivate taste buds with another new product called Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream Soda. It combines the sweetness of wild cherries with the smoothness of vanilla cream.

The exciting new product will be available in two versions: the original Wild Cherry & Cream and Zero Sugar Wild Cherry & Cream for those keeping a tab on their diet.

The latest product launch follows the discontinuation of Coca-Cola’s Cherry Vanilla soda earlier this year. Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream Soda will be a permanent addition to the brand’s portfolio. It will be available nationwide in January 2025 at your nearest retail shop.


Is Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream Soda similar to other brands?

Ever since the announcement of Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream Soda, comparisons have been drawn to its striking similarity to Coca-Cola’s Cherry Vanilla soda, which the brand discontinued in September 2024. The reason cited was the “constantly changing” taste of consumers.

Pepsi Wild Cherry & Cream Soda and Coca-Cola Cherry Vanilla Soda share the same main ingredients - cherry and vanilla.

The upcoming Pepsi soda has been compared with Dr. Pepper's Strawberries & Cream soda as both drinks are a combination of the sweetness of fruits and the creaminess of vanilla.

The creamy mouthful of Pepsi’s new flavor is reminiscent of soda floats, a nostalgic treat that combines ice cream with soda.


What are other sodas that will be released in 2025?

Sodas are people’s favorite drink, especially when you need to quench your thirst on a hot and humid day. With the passing years, beverage brands have been getting more creative. According to a report by Snack Club, here are a few unique sodas that will be released in 2025. We bet you haven’t tasted them before!

According to an Instagram post by food vlogger @snachwithzach, 2025 will see major releases from brands like Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper’s, and more.

1) Dr. Pepper Blackberry

This is expected to launch in January 2025. It comes with a sweet and tangy blackberry flavor. It will be available in full and zero-sugar versions.

2) A&W Ice Cream Sundae Root Beer

The flavor is a blend of root beer and ice cream, chocolate syrup, and cherry. It will remind you of root beer float and will be available in regular and zero options.

3) Coca-Cola Orange Cream
