The beverage features a sweet vanilla frozen carbonated slushy base swirled with [vanilla creamer and tangy orange syrup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beansicle-swirl-frozen-drink), creating a balance between creamy and citrus flavors. It joins Taco Bell’s existing selection of [flavored Freezes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-cream-chiller) and is designed to appeal to customers seeking a novel frozen beverage experience. Pricing for the Orange Vanilla Cream Soda Freeze starts at USD 3.69 for a regular size and USD 3.89 for a large. During Taco Bell’s daily Happier Hour from 2 PM to 5 PM, all regular-sized Freezes, including the new orange-flavored offering, are discounted to USD 1. Taco Bell also offers a Vanilla Cream Soda Freeze, which omits the orange syrup but retains the vanilla slushy and creamer components, at identical price points.
