‘Tis the season for peppermint, sugar cookies, and red cups! Starbucks officially kicked off the holidays on Nov 6 with the return of its annual holiday menu.
From the first sip, the Peppermint Mocha brings back festive memories. It is joined by returning favorites like the Caramel Brulee Latte and Chestnut Praline Latte, plus a few exciting new additions from 2025.
The new Iced Sugar Cookie Latte turns the classic holiday flavor into a chilled treat, while the Iced Gingerbread Chai offers a spicy-sweet twist that’s perfect for anyone who refuses to give up iced drinks, even in sweater weather.
The bakery case got a full holiday makeover, too. The iconic Snowman Cookies and Cranberry Bliss Bar return, joined by new additions like the Polar Bear Cake Pop and a gooey, cinnamon-filled Pull-Apart Bread. Between the sparkling pastries and the smell of caramel in the air, it’s impossible not to feel the holiday spirit.
For fans who love Starbucks merch as much as its drinks, this year’s release comes with a special surprise: a Hello Kitty x Starbucks collaboration. Starting November 6, you can find adorable Hello Kitty tumblers, mugs, and even plushies at select Starbucks locations and online.
Of course, Red Cup Day is back. Order a handcrafted holiday beverage and get a limited-edition reusable cup while supplies last. Consider it a collector’s item and a sustainable win.
Starbucks’ holiday menu isn’t just about coffee; it’s about the feeling. The red cups, the music, the whipped cream, every detail is designed to spark the warm, familiar sense of nostalgia.
So whether you’re team hot latte or iced chai in 30-degree weather, this season’s Starbucks menu promises one thing: a little sip of joy in every cup.
