Coca-Cola's Favorite Flavor Set to Return Amid Strong Fan Demand for a Permanent Comeback

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) is one of the best Dow stocks to invest in.

In one of the recent developments, the company's Diet Cherry Coke is set to return this summer, but only for a short time.

The fan-favorite drink, which first hit shelves in 1986, was discontinued in 2020 as part of a broader phase-out of several The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) flavors. Among them, Diet Cherry Coke's absence seemed to hit longtime fans the hardest.

Now, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) has confirmed that the drink will be making a limited-time comeback starting in mid-July, available exclusively at stores within the Kroger family. These include Kroger, City Market, Dillon’s, Foods Co., Food 4 Less, and Fred Meyer.

The returning version will come in nostalgic “retro packaging”—a white box featuring the “Diet Cherry Coke” name and a cherry illustration. Each pack will contain 12 cans and will be distinct from the currently available Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Cherry flavor.

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) is an American multinational beverage company. The stock has surged by 17% since the start of 2025.
