As the Christmas season rounds the corner, so does Starbucks’ 2024 holiday menu. Featuring three new refreshers, some all-time favorite cold foams, and tons of delicious coffees, Starbucks’ holiday menu continues to be customers' top pick.
Released on November 7th, Starbucks’ winter menu returned with a Peppermint Mocha, a Caramel Brulée Latte, and an Iced Sugar Cookie Latte.
As a bonus, Starbucks released festive new refreshers: Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher, and Cran-Merry Drink. This blend of sweet orange and warm spices, accompanied by that distinct cranberry flavor, is a notable choice for many.
“I like the Cran-Merry Refresher from Starbucks because it doesn’t taste like any of the other refreshers that I’ve ever tried before. I like that they added something new to their menu that’s never been seen before and it’s very creative. It tastes really good and I would get it as a usual and I’ll be very sad when it goes out of season,” Arielle Calicchio ’28.
This delectable refresher trio captures the essence of the holiday season and stands out to many customers.
As temperatures begin to drop and the cold winds start to bite, many find themselves gravitating towards Starbucks’ hot lattes. The Caramel Brulée Latte is always a favorite during the holiday season.
Mia Derosa ‘28 explains, “I really like the caramel flavor and everything in the drink. It reminds me of Christmas time and is perfect for when it’s cold out.”
Its rich taste and caramel sweetness drive customers to crave the delicious caramel brulée sauce it’s topped with this chilling winter. This drink is available hot, iced, and blended into a Frappuccino.
The well-known Peppermint Mocha makes a return to this year's holiday menu after being an all-time favorite for more than 20 years. Also available hot, iced, and as a Frappuccino, this iconic drink features mocha sauce and peppermint-flavored syrup, creating the perfect blend with their steamed milk and signature espresso.
“I like the Peppermint Mocha because it reminds me of hot chocolate and I like hot drinks,” Jocelin Gonzalez ‘27.
Topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls, the Peppermint Mocha makes for the perfect holiday drink for this season.
To complement any drink, customers can add on any of Starbucks’ holiday cold foams. This includes some of the returning flavors like their Sugar Cookie Cold Foam, Peppermint Chocolate Cream Cold Foam, and Caramel Brulée Cream Cold Foam. Featuring their newly released Gingerbread Cream Cold Foam, customers can add a little bit of that holiday magic to any drink.
Starbucks’ holiday menu has so much more to offer than just drinks. They present a variety of bakery items including a Cranberry Bliss Bar, Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, and Turkey Sage Danish. All these options provide customers with a savory compliment to have with their drinks.
In the mood for something sweet? Don’t worry because Starbucks also has something for everyone's sugary cravings. Their menu features their new Snowman Cake Pop, Penguin Cookie, and Dark Toffee Bundt Cake. From white chocolaty icing to a buttery shortbread cookie, these delicious treats are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
