Diet Coke fans have reason to celebrate: Diet Coke Cherry is officially back — and this time, it’s here to stay. After years as a cult favourite and a hugely successful limited-edition revival, the cherry-flavoured cola is now returning permanently to major retailers across Great Britain.
Originally launched in the 1980s, Diet Coke Cherry quickly became one of the brand’s most loved flavour twists. Following cherry’s rise as the “flavour of the year” in 2025, the drink made a nostalgic comeback last October with a limited-edition release in Tesco, complete with eye-catching retro packaging. The response was swift — and loud — with fans calling for a permanent return.
Now, those requests have been answered.
A cult classic with a fresh new look
The permanently relaunched Diet Coke Cherry arrives with sleek, updated packaging, combining its bold cherry flavour with a chic modern aesthetic. Designed to slot effortlessly into everyday routines, it’s set to become a go-to for everything from doom-scrolling breaks and podcast sessions to cosy TV evenings.
Speaking on the announcement, 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.”
