Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry Is Coming Back in 2024: When and Where to Find It

Sprite Cranberry is coming back! Oh, wait, sorry, nevermind. Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry is coming back. Yes, according to an Instagram post from @markie_devo, the somewhat divisive holiday Sprite flavor will make its triumphant return for the fifth consecutive year.

What is Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry?

Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite is regular Sprite (or Sprite Zero) flavored with “spices” (think: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) and cranberry flavor.

While it has its fans, a lot of folks seem to be a bit disappointed by the return of Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry rather than regular old Sprite Cranberry from 2013-2018, which they say is tangier and tastier than the spiced version. One commenter on Markie’s post put their foot down saying, “F this I’m buying the Starry version this year.” (Read all about the release of Starry Cranberry Blizz.) But others celebrated the news saying they were excited for the return of the “best flavor ever.”

When is this holiday Sprite coming out?

As of this writing, Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry will drop in less than three days, according to the countdown on the Sprite website. That would make the release date October 14. But the countdown gives the option to add a reminder to your calendar, should you need it. You can also sign up to get an email when it drops. Apparently, soda-focused folks really need to be told when to go seek out a new release.

You’ll be able to find Winter Spiced Cranberry Sprite in stores nationwide. And it’ll be available in both regular and zero sugar in a wide range of sizes: 12-pack regular cans, 2L bottles, 20oz bottles, 6-pack mini cans, and .5L bottle 6-packs.

Will you be rushing out to buy Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry? Or will you, too, hop on the Cranberry Starry train instead? Let us know!

About the Author

Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients. Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now). Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test! Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
