Coca-Cola has sparked a divided reaction among fans with the re-introduction of its limited edition festive flavour after a four-year hiatus. A Tesco shopper stumbled upon two-litre bottles of Cinnamon Coca-Cola, a zero sugar variant, on the shelves of the supermarket chain this week, reigniting discussions among Coca-Cola enthusiasts about the return of the seasonal drink. The news of the festive beverage’s comeback has led to a flurry of conversations online, with some expressing excitement at the prospect of indulging in the cinnamon-infused cola once again.
Social media platforms, notably Facebook, have been buzzing with comments from eager fans eager to sample the special edition drink. One user mentioned, “I do like the cinnamon flavoured cola, although I think it only comes out around this time of year for Xmas time then disappears again afterwards.” Another user expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “Lovely stuff, wish it was available all throughout the year.” A third added, “This is not a drill! I need it!” Describing their experience, a user shared, “It’s not for everyone, but I like it a lot when I’ve had it. Coca-Cola with an aftertaste of cinnamon, not too strong either.”
However, not all reactions to the festive flavour have been positive, with some consumers expressing reluctance to try the new variant. One individual questioned the choice of flavours, stating, “Who comes up with the flavours I mean cola is okay with lemon and lime and vanilla and cherry, but cinnamon? Not something I’d want to try, doesn’t sound appealing.” Another hesitant consumer commented, “I’m not sure if I’d like to try Cinnamon Coke, don’t like the sound of that. I wish Coca-Cola would bring back the Diet Vanilla Coke, that was delicious.” Despite the mixed reactions, the return of the limited edition Cinnamon Coca-Cola has certainly stirred up a range of opinions among fans.
One point of contention among enthusiasts has been the decision to make the festive flavour sugar-free. Some fans have expressed disappointment over the sugar-free formula, questioning why Coca-Cola opted for a zero sugar version for a flavoured drink. Others voiced their preference for the full-sugar original Coca-Cola over the zero sugar or diet options. The limited edition Cinnamon Coca-Cola is currently available in two-litre bottles at Tesco for £1.85, aligning with the pricing of the brand’s Zero range, which includes varieties such as regular Zero, Zero Caffeine-Free, Zero Lemon, and Zero Cherry.
Last month, Coca-Cola faced backlash from customers after discontinuing Zero Vanilla, prompting mixed reactions from consumers. The re-introduction of the limited edition Cinnamon Coca-Cola has once again reignited the ongoing debate among Coke aficionados about the brand’s flavour offerings. As the festive season approaches, it seems that Coca-Cola has successfully stirred up excitement and discussion with the return of its special edition flavour, catering to a diverse range of preferences and opinions among fans.
