It’s not just Santa Claus we eagerly await to get us in the Christmas spirit. It’s the Starbucks Holiday menu, arriving at your local store on November 7. The old comforting favorites make their return, including the ever-popular Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brûlée Latte, and Chestnut Praline Latte. These three decadent drinks will keep you toasty.
Peppermint Mocha has been a Starbucks staple for over 20 years. The classic hot chocolate drink with a hint of mint and topped with whipped cream is a holiday favorite. Caramel Brûlée Latte and the Chestnut Praline Latte are both steamed with hot milk and syrup, caramelized chestnuts and espresso. Both are available iced or as a Frappuccino.
If dessert sounds good to you and you’re not up for baking, Starbucks is bringing back its iced drink menu, which includes iced sugar cookies, oat lattes, and iced gingerbread oat chai. If a cold brew is more your style, consider topping it with two new flavors of cold foam. The Gingerbread Cream Cold Foam and Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam both add a little sweetness to your cold brew. The return of four other cold foam toppers includes, Peppermint Chocolate Cream Cold Foam, Sugar Cookie Cream Cold Foam, Chestnut Praline Cream Cold Foam and Caramel Brûlée Cream Cold Foam.
Starbucks is introducing three new Refreshers to their menu. The Cran-Merry Orange Refresher and Cran-Merry Lemonade Refreshers includes a light drink with oranges, cranberries, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg on ice. The third Cran-Merry Drink adds coconut milk.
Once you’ve tried your favorite drink, check out Starbucks newest food addition, the Turkey Sage Danish topped with béchamel sauce. Sweet treats like their new Snowman Cake Pop and Penguin Cookie, as well as returning favorites like the Gingerbread Loaf and Cranberry Bliss Bar are back on the menu.
Seasonal whole bean coffee is also available should you prefer to brew your own at home. Starbucks’ Christmas Blend has three options: whole beans, ground, and decaf. This blend began 40 years ago and became a customer favorite. Starbucks is also offering its Holiday Blend, which is also available in whole beans, ground, and decaf.
Finally, to really get you in the holiday spirit, Starbucks brings back their beloved red holiday cups. With festive red and green designs, these limited time only disposable drinks make the season that much merrier. Make your holiday shopping easier for the coffee lover in your life by stocking up on new coffee mugs, tumblers, cold cups and a collaboration with Stanley as well as mini ornaments.
Starbucks also announced that beginning today, they will no longer charge extra for non-dairy milk additions.
