‘We All Scream for Orange Cream’: Coca‑Cola Drops Retro-Inspired Flavour Innovation

Nostalgia meets novelty in the latest addition to the Coca‑Cola lineup.

Coca‑Cola Orange Cream and Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar Orange Cream infuse the timeless and deliciously refreshing taste of Coca‑Cola with a burst of the zesty-yet-smooth combo of orange and rich, creamy vanilla flavours. The modern-day twist on a familiar favourite hit shelves in Canada and the United States.

Orange Cream is one of many throwback flavours making a comeback thanks to growing demand among Millennials and Gen Z-ers for fun, unexpected tastes and sensory experiences. The newest Coca‑Cola Trademark innovation was crafted for consumers with both adventurous palates and a fondness for tradition.

“Coca‑Cola Orange Cream will appeal to people that are all about switching it up, drinking whatever sparks joy in the moment—be it a novel innovation, or timeless classic,” said Solange Grimard, Senior Integrated Manager at Coca‑Cola Canada. “We’re constantly looking for ways to evolve our flavour portfolio while staying true to the essence of Coca‑Cola.”

Coca‑Cola Orange Cream and Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar Orange Cream will be available through early-2026, an intentional move to continually refresh the Coca‑Cola Trademark flavour portfolio based on evolving consumer preferences. In addition to 355ml cans and multipacks and 500ml single-serve bottles, both varieties will be available exclusively at Wendy’s on Coca‑Cola Freestyle fountain machines. A striking packaging design will help the offerings stand out on store shelves by supplementing classic Coke red and signature Spencerian script with pops of orange-inspired colours and icons.

Orange Cream has been around since 1905 but has seen a renaissance in recent years as retro offerings have captured the attention of fans. Coca‑Cola Orange Cream launches on the heels of Coca‑Cola Orange Vanilla, which had a successful run from 2019 through 2022 but was ultimately discontinued amidst the supply chain and marketing challenges of COVID-19. Grimard says the new innovation’s flavour profile has a “smoother and creamier” profile — and a bolder expression of the classic Coca‑Cola taste, which should appeal to fans of its predecessor.
