After months of anticipationStarbucks has officially revealed its holiday menu for 2024. And while fans will be disappointed to learn that the coffee giant actually left out some previously speculated fan favorites — including Roasted White Chocolate, Eggnog Latte, and Gingerbread Late — the lineup still worth celebrating.
In addition to classics like the Peppermint Mocha and Caramel Brulée Latte, Starbucks is debuting its first-ever Christmas refresher on Nov. 7: The Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, which can also be ordered as the Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher or the Cran-Good drink with coconut milk.
So…what can you expect when the menu hits stores tomorrow? Here’s everything on Starbucks’ holiday menu this year.
Cran-Merry Orange Refresher
While Starbucks’ refreshing lineup is usually associated with summer, this all-new version is themed for the season. It contains sweet orange, tart cranberry and hot spice with a cranberry base mixed with water – unless you opt for the soda or coconut milk variations. It’s even topped with chopped cranberries for an extra festive finish.
“These drinks were very much inspired by this idea of a festive punch as a sensory experience — the look, the aroma, the taste,” lead beverage developer Billy Altieri said in a statement. “We wanted to create a drink that brought all these sensory elements together in one cup.”
Peppermint suede
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Following this phrase, Starbucks is bringing back its beloved Peppermint Mocha, available hot, iced, blended or as hot chocolate.
It contains Starbucks signature espresso with steamed milk, mocha sauce and peppermint flavored syrup. It is topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate entices.
Caramel Brulee Latte
The rich and indulgent concoction includes Starbucks signature espresso with steamed milk, rich caramel sauce, whipped cream and a caramel brulee topping. You can have it hot, iced or as a Frappuccino.
Chestnut praline latte
Chestnut Praline Latte swirls together espresso, steamed milk and caramelized chestnuts and spices. It is finished with a whipped cream topping and spiced praline crumbs. Get it hot, iced or mixed.
Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte
Still one of Starbucks’ newer holiday drinks (it launched just a few years ago), the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte includes blonde espresso, which is a smooth and lightly sweet roast, with ice, almond milk, and red and green sprinkles. .
Iced Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai
While you can no longer get your Gingerbread Latte fix, the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai offers a similar experience — only elevated. It contains chai spices, creamy oat milk and cold foam ice cream flavored with gingerbread flavor and spice topping.
New cold foam toppings
Along with the recurring favorite, also known as the peppermint chocolate mousse, Starbucks is adding gingerbread and salted pecan flavors to the list. The Spicy Gingerbread is sweet and blended with Starbucks signature vanilla sweet cream, while the Salted Caramel has notes of nutty pecans and brown butter. You can try the latter foam in the form of Starbucks’ new Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew, which features the chain’s cold brew with a dash of vanilla, Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam and a crunchy pecan-flavored sugar topping.
As for snacks, there are plenty of new baked goods to enjoy alongside your favorite drink, including a Turkey Sage Danish, Dark Toffee Bundt, Snowman Cake Pot and Penguin Cookie. The Sugar Plum Cheese Danish and Cranberry Bliss bar is also back.
In addition to the classic menu, Starbucks Reserve Roasteries serves an Iced Caramel Brulée Eggnog Latte, Eggnog Espresso Martini and Fog Nog Tea Latte at its Seattle, Chicago and New York City locations. Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini will also be available.
