We cannot always provide the same consistent way Santa does. Thus, I did not, yesterday. But here we are today. New chances. New ventures. In 2004, Pepsi made such a new venture into the Christmas world. While Coca-cola was only bringing the holiday through delightful Santa scenes and polar bears, Pepsi had stepped things up a notch.

In 2004 Pepsi injected untold amounts of Christmas cheer into our lives with the short lived Pepsi Holiday Spice. True to it's name Holiday spice was loaded with holiday spices and tasted more like Coca Cola than Pepsi, Pepsi made Coke truly a Christmas miracle. Sadly the drink's first Christmas would be it's last, the Scrooges rejected the jolly drink. The spirit of Holiday Spice lives on in Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash, which combines a ordinary drink with a holiday fruit.

What does Christmas taste like? I think it tastes something like cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie, pepsi holiday spice, reindeer blood, and Santa's cookies. I think somehow Pepsi Holiday Spice reached too much Holiday excellence. It assaulted the taste buds, making you believe you were Christmas. It was too much. I imagine they never gave it out at asylums for this very fact. Imagine all the crazies saying they were Santa?

Buy a can off ebay, and take a sip every day until Christmas! Make them short sips.. because...

82 days until Christmas!
