It’s back and it's here to stay! Diet Coke Cherry to return permanently from January 2026
Diet Coke Cherry is now available at major retailers nationwide
Monday 5th January 2026: Diet Coke Cherry is returning permanently, with the cult favourite flavour now available from major retailers nationwide. The popular spin on the iconic original, Diet Coke Cherry first launched in the 80s, and following on from the successful return as a limited edition earlier this year, now returns permanently to shelves across Great Britain.
After cherry was trending as the ‘flavour of the year’ in 2025, Diet Coke Cherry returned for a limited time only in Tesco stores in October 2025, in unique retro packaging. Now the deliciously bold cherry twist has a chic new look and is set to become a staple for Diet Coke breaks nationwide, whether a quick social scroll, a mid-podcast sip, or a moment while unwinding with a favourite TV show.
Tara Byrnes, Senior Brand Manager for Diet Coke Great Britain said: “We are delighted to announce that Diet Coke Cherry will be joining the Diet Coke family permanently. Fans asked for it, and loved the retro limited edition launch while it was here! With a bold flavour and new look, Diet Coke Cherry continues to encourage fans to make Diet Coke breaks reflect ‘your taste’ even more.”
Diet Coke Cherry is available permanently now, across major retailers nationwide, in 300ml cans, 500ml bottles, 2L bottles, 330ml x8 multipack cans and 330ml x24 multipack cans.
