New Fanta® Phantom Smoothie pairs Coca-Cola’s Fanta® Orange flavored syrup, tropical fruit and purple vanilla-flavored popping boba for a unique Halloween treat.
ATLANTA, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This fall, Tropical Smoothie Cafe® is giving chills with its first-ever Halloween menu item, the Fanta® Phantom Smoothie. Available starting October 7, the smoothie also marks the brand’s first smoothie flavor collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company.
As eye-catching as it is delicious, the vibrant orange smoothie is topped with purple, vanilla-flavored popping boba and blended with Fanta® Orange flavored syrup, mango, banana, nonfat yogurt and cinnamon. The smoothie will also be served in the brand’s first clear smoothie cup, putting the Fanta® Phantom Smoothie’s bright orange color and contrasting purple boba on full display.
“When we thought about bringing Fanta Orange into a smoothie, we knew we wanted to do something unexpected,” said Deborah von Kutzleben, Chief Marketing Officer, Tropical Smoothie Cafe. “Together with The Coca-Cola Company, we took that iconic orange flavor and blended it with our tropical ingredients to create a one-of-a-kind smoothie experience that’s colorful, unexpected and scary good — something you can only find at Tropical Smoothie Cafe.”
The collaboration between Tropical Smoothie Cafe and The Coca-Cola Company builds on Fanta’s longstanding connection to Halloween, giving fans of the No. 1 fruit soda in the U.S. a unique way to experience the brand.
“Fanta Orange brings a playful personality that made it a great starting point for this collaboration,” said Megan Tallman, Vice-President, Foodservice Innovation and Equipment, The Coca-Cola Company. “Collaborating with Tropical Smoothie Cafe, we were able to reimagine Fanta Orange in an entirely new way, combining it with their smoothie expertise to create a Halloween treat that gives fans another way to celebrate the season with Fanta.”
Guests can extend the Halloween fun beyond the new smoothie, too. For a limited time, the purple vanilla-flavored popping boba can be added to any smoothie, bringing an extra pop of color, flavor and texture to favorite menu items.
The Fanta® Phantom Smoothie is available at participating Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations for a limited time. Guests can order in-cafe, online or through the Tropical Smoothie Cafe app.
