Especially with food and drink playing such a big part in family celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>But Pepsi has revealed fans won&#8217;t be able to get their hands on one of their festive favourites this Christmas, reports the Daily Star. Launched six years ago, Pepsi Max Ginger Christmas has become a favourite for many.<\/p>\n<p>It features a unique blend of natural ginger flavour. The beverage was available in various sizes, from 330ml cans to 2L bottles.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE: <\/strong> <strong>Cheesy ham and leek pie is &#8216;comfort food at its best&#8217; &#8211; just 6 ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/5110494.jpg?r=1702359876743\"><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>It led to heartbreak for some customers as Pepsi instead pointed people towards its newer mango flavour. One social media user commented: &#8220;Please bring back Pepsi Max Ginger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another added: &#8220;Pepsi Max Ginger was the best. Pepsi Max please bring it back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pepsi MAX Mango has been described as the brand&#8217;s &#8220;best ever&#8221; new addition. Pepsi&#8217;s range feature over eight flavours, including diet, caffeine-free and original variants.<\/p>\n<p>The new Mango flavour is set to join Raspberry, Cherry and Lime in Pepsi&#8217;s fruity line-up. Last Christmas, Pepsi celebrated the World Cup with a limited edition Nutmeg flavour.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Baker shares clever food storage method to keep bread fresh for longer[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/5110495.jpg?r=1702359876793\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Speaking about Pepsi&#8217;s latest change, Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: &#8220;Change is a constant in the beverage industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And while it&#8217;s always sad to see a favourite go, it opens doors to new flavours and experiences. Pepsi&#8217;s shift towards new varieties reflects the evolving tastes of consumers and the dynamic nature of the market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, people were only realising the meaning behind Pepsi&#8217;s name and it blew their minds. The popular soda was first invented in 1893 as Brad&#8217;s Drink by pharmacist Caleb Bradham.<\/p>\n<p>It was created as a way to promote digestion.
