Coca-Cola Starlight was the first limited-edition Coca-Cola Creations and this fan-favorite space-flavored beverage from 2022 is back in 2025, exclusively at Jack in the Box as part of the limited-time Coca-Cola Starlight Munchie Meal.
Originally inspired by Gen Z's fascination with space, Coca-Cola Starlight has a reddish hue, a subtle cooling sensation and a "magical taste" that fans have been begging for Coca-Cola to bring back. The Coca-Cola Starlight Munchie Meal is Jack's first beverage-focused Craved Collab. As such, this limited-edition beverage is the star of the Munchie Meal, which features a choice of entrée (either the Double Jr. Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger or Really Big Chicken Sandwich) and three sides: 5 Tiny Tacos, 4 Nuggets with ranch dip cup, and curly fries.
