Of course the festive season is about getting together with family and friends, but also it's about the food. Often around the period, many brands bring out new treats.

It's been a seasonal highlight for many, featuring a unique blend of natural ginger flavouring. The beverage was available in various sizes, from 330ml cans to 2L bottles.

Now fizzy drink lovers will have to find a new flavour this Christmas. Pepsi confirmed on X, formerly Twitter, that the Ginger flavour has been discontinued.

It led to heartbreak as many customers expressed their surprise and sadness. Now Pepsi is steering customers towards its new Mango-flavoured drink.

Pepsi MAX Mango has been described as the brand's "best ever" new addition. Pepsi's range feature over eight flavours, including diet, caffeine-free and original variants.

The new Mango flavour is set to join Raspberry, Cherry and Lime in Pepsi's fruity line-up. Last Christmas, Pepsi celebrated the World Cup with a limited edition Nutmeg flavour.

Speaking about Pepsi's latest change, Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: "Change is a constant in the beverage industry.

"And while it's always sad to see a favourite go, it opens doors to new flavours and experiences. Pepsi's shift towards new varieties reflects the evolving tastes of consumers and the dynamic nature of the market."
