It was introduced in packaged form by The Coca-Cola Company in February 2020 in response to the popularity of the flavor combination at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines. [2] [3] Its launch, along with that of Coca-Cola Orange Vanilla in 2019 (as well as Coca-Cola Cinnamon [4] and the Japan exclusive Coca-Cola Strawberry [5] ) represented a strategic shift to Coca-Cola introducing new brands under its core Coca-Cola branding, which had not occurred since 2007. [3]

In 2022, the can was redesigned to be purple and gold to signify the combination of flavors. [6]

In September 2024, Coca-Cola confirmed in an X post that Cherry Vanilla was being discontinued in its bottle form due to slumping sales and changing lifestyles. The flavor will remain in Coke Freestyle machines. [7]
