Halloween is over, signaling what many see as the start of the festive season, a time to return to beloved Christmas music and winter traditions. In perfect timing for this transition, Starbucks released its holiday menu on November 6. The lineup features a mix of returning favorites and fresh new treats, inviting customers to try familiar winter flavors.
The available drinks this year provide an option for everyone. For those who prefer hot beverages, the rich Peppermint Mocha or sweet Caramel Brulée Latte are perfect to sip on during chilly winter days, providing warmth, comfort, and a delicious taste. Starbucks offers cold seasonal drinks too, the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte is a fan favorite, smooth and flavorful. No matter what drink you pick, these festive beverages are a fun way to make the season a little cozier.
Adding to the excitement, each drink will be served in a holiday cup, red and green with plaid or ribbons. Intended to mimic pajama pants, the plaid cups further the relaxation each drink brings, while the ribbons provide a burst of festivity. This is an annual tradition, with Starbucks’s creative directors creating new designs each winter.
To complement the variety of holiday-themed drinks, Starbucks is offering a variety of bakery goods, ranging from cake pops to cheese danishes. New this year is a Cinnamon Pull Apart, a flaky cinnamon croissant that has captured everyone’s attention. It will be incorporated into Starbucks’s year-round menu, a piece of holiday cheer that will last well beyond the season. A notable return is the Snowman Cookie. Fans love it, and for good reason—a tasty shortbread cookie covered with white chocolate icing, it is adorable and charming.
Beyond the food, Starbucks has also released merchandise. Customers can purchase miniature coffee cup ornaments to hang on their trees, adding a touch of Starbucks cheer to their holiday decor. There are also several tumblers and mugs available for purchase, as well as a Barista Cold Cup, which has gone viral for its playful design and collectable appeal.
From drinks to sweets to holiday goodies, Starbucks is helping everyone get into the holiday spirit this season. It is the perfect way to celebrate the approaching shift into winter, so stop by and appreciate the seasonal menu while it lasts.
