Some of the best holiday treats are also the simplest, and that absolutely applies to festive drinks. While there’s no shortage of elaborate seasonal cocktails, mocktails and coffee creations this time of year, sometimes you just want something fun, fast and flavorful without hauling out a blender or stocking up on specialty syrups.
And that’s exactly why this Christmas Coke, shared by content creator @hello_aggie, caught my attention. It’s just two ingredients, takes seconds to make and promises a surprisingly dessert-like flavor that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved.
This combination is a seasonal spin on the "dirty soda" trend, a popular drink style that combines soda with coffee creamers and/or flavored syrups to create customized beverages. It’s been big on social media, especially around the holidays, when people look for easy, fun ways to elevate everyday drinks.
I'm a big fan of both of the ingredients in this drink (Holiday Vanilla Coke and Starbucks Sugar Cookie Latte Creamer), so I knew this was a must-try. Here's what happened when I mixed one up at home—and how you can make one at your house.

Christmas Coke is a festive, creamy twist on a classic soda that combines Coca-Cola’s Holiday Vanilla flavor with a splash of seasonal coffee creamer. The result is a fizzy, sweet, lightly spiced drink that feels like a holiday treat without the heaviness of a milkshake or the buzz of a cocktail. The core idea comes from “dirty sodas,” which typically blend soda with flavored syrups, creamers or fruit to create a drink that tastes like a mashup of a soda shop treat and a coffeehouse creation.

Ingredients Needed for Christmas Coke

To make a Christmas Coke, you only need two ingredients: Coca-Cola’s Holiday Creamy Vanilla soda and Starbucks’ Sugar Cookie Latte with Almondmilk and Oatmilk creamer (plus, ice).
The soda is a seasonal Coke infused with a smooth vanilla flavor. Aggie used the zero-sugar version, but I opted for the original instead. The creamer, as you might imagine, has a cookie-inspired sweetness that pairs perfectly with the vanilla Coke.

How To Make Christmas Coke
View this post on InstagramStart by filling a glass with ice, then pour in the soda, leaving room at the top to add in the creamer. Finally, top off the soda with the Starbucks creamer. That's it!
The drink doesn’t require stirring, but you can give it a light swirl if you prefer more of an even mix. Serve immediately while the soda is still crisp and bubbly.

Christmas Coke Recipe Review: My Honest Thoughts
This drink was unbelievably simple, and I was shocked by how good it was. The combination of the vanilla cola and sugar cookie creamer tasted like a fizzy holiday dessert, but not in an overpowering way. The texture was smooth and creamy without being heavy, and the flavor leaned warm and sweet, like a carbonated Christmas cookie.

I like more creamer, so I started with a creamer base, then added soda, then topped the drink off with more creamer. That extra splash also gives the drink a layered appearance that feels festive and like something you'd get in a coffeehouse.
I would absolutely make this again, especially for holiday movie nights or an easy mocktail for guests. It’s festive, fun and takes less than a minute to throw together.

Tips, Substitutions and Helpful Hints
You can use regular vanilla Coke if the holiday version isn’t available, though the flavor will be slightly different. If you want a sweeter drink, add a bit more creamer, as I did; if you want more fizz, increase the soda.
Kids might enjoy topping it with whipped cream to turn it into a fun dessert-style drink. You can also add some holiday sprinkles or a few cherries on top for a hit of color.
