'Tis the season for holiday drinks and that means Cinnamon Coke and Winter Cranberry Sprite are finally here. After months of anticipation, people have spotted both on Amazon and in stores.
You can pick up either flavor in six packs of mini cans for $15 on Amazon, though something tells me they may be a little cheaper at your local grocery stores. Still, if you want them now, it may be your best bet, otherwise, you can find the Sprite in stores by using this tool.
The Sprite (and likely the Cinnamon Coke!) will be around until the end of the year or while supplies last which, if the hype is any indication, may not be too long, so hop to it! Happy soda spotting (and spiking)!

There are few things we love more than when a brand brings an international fav to the good ol' USA. And that's exactly what Coca-Cola is doing with their latest launch: A cinnamon take on their classic cola.
According to @CandyHunting, Instagram's eagle-eyed snack scout, the flavor made its debut as a Coke Zero product in the U.K. last year. "The new addition to the Coca-Cola family is bursting full of warming [flavors] and is guaranteed to get you into the festive spirit as we head into the Christmas season," the press release said.
Though details are looking pretty scarce, here's what we do know: The cinnamon cola is arriving sometime this winter, it's also available in the Coke Zero variety, and if it's anything like its U.K. cousin, will fly off shelves.
"NO FUCKING WAY IM LOSING MY MIND," one fan wrote in response to the news. "wow!! interesting! seems like an awesome christmas cola! def will try!" another added. Some are already brainstorming mixer ideas: "This with Crown Apple" and "This flavor was really good with vodka I bought them online last year," they wrote.
Though Pepsi tried (and failed) to create a cinnamon-flavored cola of their own a few years back called Pepsi Fire, there's actually a pretty good reason why Coke's recipe tastes better. "Cola is a mix between citrus and brown spice flavors," @CandyHunting reported. "Coca-Cola leans more toward the spice side and Pepsi leans more toward Citrus. Adding extra cinnamon will kick up that brown spice an extra notch."
