Pepsi launches first new holiday flavor in 20 years inspired by gingerbread

Pepsi will launch its first new holiday flavor in 20 years, a limited edition drink inspired by gingerbread. It will be available starting December 4, primarily through the TikTok shop and via a giveaway on Pepsi's website. The new flavor follows the discontinued Pepsi Holiday Spice, which was last sold in 2006. Early reviews suggest the drink has a warm, chocolate-like taste, with some consumers expressing curiosity about the product. Other brands are also releasing festive items, including Dunkin Donuts' new peppermint iced drink and McDonald's returning Holiday Pies. These seasonal offerings are part of a broader trend of holiday-themed products this winter.
