I'm sad to report that the cola doesn't live up to the advertising. As
advertised, this was supposed to be something like "normal" Pepsi with ADDED
spices to give it a "holiday" flavor.

Instead, it seems that most flavor has been REMOVED. In "normal" Pepsi, if I
focus on the flavor, I can taste the citrus and cinnamon flavors, as well as
a slight bitterness from the caramel and caffeine. I was expecting to taste
those flavors as well as some additional "spice" flavors, maybe allspice,
maybe nutmeg, maybe clove...but there was NOTHING. No citrus tones. No
caramel tones. No cinnamon. No discernible spice flavor of ANY kind. Just a
reddish sweet drink with maybe a hint of artificial berry flavor.

In order to make it palatable, I ended up adding chocolate syrup. (I find
that chocolate is often the answer to life's problems.) But I'm sure as hell
not going to buy any more of that crap.
