Diet Cherry Coke is set to return to the Coca-Cola portfolio as a permanent offer with modern packaging.
Sources at the National Association of Convenience Stores trade show confirmed that Diet Cherry Coke is coming back permanently.
The returning favorite is expected to return in early 2026 in both 20-ounce bottles and 12-ounce cans with a more modern look.
Fans expressed excitement and nostalgia for the return of Diet Cherry Coke, with some hoping for the permanent return of Diet Coke Lime as well.
The revamped Diet Cherry Coke is anticipated to be available nationwide in the first quarter of 2026, not exclusive to any specific retailer.
