Starbucks Holiday Drinks Make Their Awaited Return
November 1, 2023
Starbucks is ushering in the holiday season by announcing its Starbucks holiday drinks menu, which arrives in U.S. stores on Nov. 2. The menu includes both new and returning holiday beverages, served in vibrant Starbucks holiday cups.
This year, Starbucks is introducing the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, a frosty treat that melds gingerbread flavors with chai spices and smooth oat milk. This drink will be available both hot and iced.
Seasonal Starbucks holiday drinks are also making a comeback, such as the Peppermint Mocha — a blend of Starbucks signature Espresso Roast with steamed milk, mocha sauce, and peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls. The beverage is available hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended drink.
The Caramel Brulée Latte, another holiday favorite, combines Starbucks’ signature Espresso Roast with steamed milk and rich caramel brulée sauce. It’s topped with whipped cream and caramel brulée bits and can be ordered hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended beverage.
The Chestnut Praline Latte is also returning, featuring Espresso Roast and velvety steamed milk blended with caramelized chestnut and spice flavors, topped with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs. It, too, is available hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended beverage.
Back for its third holiday season is the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte, a blend of sugar cookie-flavored syrup, Starbucks Blonde Espresso, ice, and almondmilk. The drink is adorned with red and green sprinkles and is also available hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended beverage.
For stores serving Starbucks Oleato beverages, customers can try the new Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte. This latest addition to the holiday menu combines Blonde Espresso with gingerbread notes and steamed oatmilk. It’s infused with Partanna extra virgin olive oil and finished with a hint of ginger and citrus flavors.
Alongside these drinks, Starbucks is also offering holiday pastries and treats. Customers can enjoy the tasty Cranberry Bliss Bar, Gingerbread Loaf, Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.
