Coca-Cola has confirmed that Diet Cherry Coke — the cherry-flavored variant of Diet Coke — is returning permanently to store shelves in early 2026.
Background:
- Diet Cherry Coke was first introduced in 1986 as part of the Diet Coke lineup.
- It was discontinued in 2020.
- Earlier in 2025, the flavor made a comeback — but only as a limited-edition, retailer-exclusive offering.
What’s new this time:
- This time around, Diet Cherry Coke will be part of Coca-Cola’s permanent flavor lineup — not just a temporary or exclusive edition.
- It’ll be sold in 20-ounce bottles and 12-oz cans (12-packs), with refreshed modern packaging aligned with current Diet Coke branding.
Why it matters:
Fans of Diet Coke — especially those who enjoyed the cherry-flavoured version — get a much-loved classic back for good. For Coca-Cola, this move reflects a strategy to lean on nostalgia and popular legacy products as competition heats up and market tastes shift.
What to expect:
Look out for Diet Cherry Coke across major retailers in early 2026. It will likely appear alongside other Diet Coke offerings, making it easier than ever to enjoy a cherry-twist on the classic.
