It looks like a discontinued Coca-Cola flavor is returning to store shelves under a different name. The beverage company has recently unveiled its latest creation called Orange Cream Coke. This refreshing beverage blends the iconic taste of Coca-Cola with a vibrant orange twist and a touch of creamy vanilla. If this flavor sounds familiar, Orange Cream Coke appears to be a nostalgic nod to a discontinued favorite, offering fans a chance to rediscover a classic with a modern twist.
Is Orange Cream Coke a revamp of Orange Vanilla Coke?
In 2019, Coca-Cola introduced Orange Vanilla and its Zero Sugar counterpart, delighting fans with the unique flavor blend. Unfortunately, both varieties were quietly discontinued in 2022 and disappeared from Freestyle machines earlier this year. The arrival of the new Orange Cream flavor couldn’t have been timed better for fans missing the beloved Orange Vanilla Coke.
But here’s the big question: how does Orange Cream differ from Orange Vanilla? Coca-Cola has yet to reveal all the details. While some speculate the new flavor is just a rebrand of the old one, many fans are still hopeful that Coca-Cola has a fresh and exciting twist in store to surprise its consumers.
Fans react to Orange Cream Coke
The buzz around the release of Orange Cream Coke started when Instagram blogger Snackolator leaked the news in October 2024. Fans of the discontinued Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola quickly shared their reactions, with many hoping the new flavor would fill the void left by its predecessor.
One fan expressed optimism: “The Orange Vanilla was one of the best Coke flavors released. I imagine this will be pretty similar.” Others shared more emotional responses, such as: “I hope this tastes like the Orange Vanilla one THAT THEY TOOK AWAY FROM ME‼️‼️💀💀” and “When they took away Orange Vanilla Coke, it broke my heart, but this should make up for it.”
Some fans speculated that Orange Cream might just be a rebrand of the old flavor. “Is this not just Orange Vanilla with a new name? Not that that would be a bad thing,” one user questioned.
While a few fans expressed skepticism about Coca-Cola’s recent releases, there was still hope for this one. “Most of their recent releases are kinda bad, except Starlight—that was so damn good. I’m hoping this will be tasty,” one commenter shared.
Others reminisced about past experiences with Orange Vanilla Coke. “I miss Orange Vanilla. I was upset when it was discontinued. I imagine the new Orange Vanilla Cream is just a new name for it. Hope it’s permanent! The same thing once happened with Vanilla Coke, and it eventually returned and became permanent,” one fan noted optimistically.

When will Orange Cream Coke be released?
Orange Cream Coke and its Zero Sugar variety are set to hit store shelves starting February 10th, but keep an eye out—there’s always a chance they could arrive a bit earlier in some locations.
As for its availability, it’s unclear whether Orange Cream Coke will become a permanent addition to Coca-Cola’s lineup. However, there’s reason to be hopeful. Its predecessor, Orange Vanilla Coke, was once a year-round offering. With its bright and summery flavor, it seems likely to stick around at least through the warmer months. Fingers crossed!
