When it comes to limited-edition beverages, Pepsi continues to rise to the occasion year after year. And just when we thought we’d seen the last of Pepsi’s seasonal releases for 2015 with their mystery-flavoured Halloween range, they go and announce a special Christmas present, with the release of a new Pepsi White Cola for this year’s winter season.
On sale from 8 December for 151 yen (US$1.25), the Pepsi White Cola features silver-patterned packaging with gold-lettering, which, they tell us, is perfect for the “party season”.

The limited-edition beverage is the latest in a long line of flavours that have stepped away from using traditional, dark Cola-coloured hues. There was a green, ice cucumber variation back in 2007, followed by Blue Hawaii the following year, and even a Pepsi Pink in 2014.

A white-coloured, yoghurt-flavoured Pepsi was actually released in 2008, and was then re-released four years later in a mikan (Japanese mandarin) flavour.
▼ Snowmen everywhere are crying for not being re-released with this year’s White version.

It’s been three long years since we’ve seen white cola on the shelves in Japan, and this time round we’re being promised a more refreshing citrus flavour. With mikan having a more subtle zing than most citrus fruits, we’re hoping that means this one will pack a real orangey punch. A white cola that tastes like an orange? That’s definitely something to cure the winter blues this season!

Parisian football club Paris Saint-Germain is the latest to take on the iconic Coca Cola bottle, joining the brand for collaborative takes on the Coke and Coke Zero packaging. Tapping two French artists for the customization, the bottles employ Ceizer’s typographical touches throughout while Parisian monuments like the Eiffel Tower and Sacre-Coeur come courtesy of Mambo. Available exclusively through colette, the limited edition collectibles can be picked up individually for €45 EUR (approximately $50 USD) each or in a two-pack — complete with a book and glasses — for €169 EUR (approximately $187 USD).
