As the Christmas season quickly approaches, there is holiday cheer in the air and in the Starbucks coffees! As someone who LOVES Christmas, I always look forward to tasting the new drinks they sell! My sister and I always love to check out Starbucks’ cheery drinks. This year, there are many of the fan-favorite beverages, but there are also some new ones. Here is the line-up for this year's fun and festive drinks.
Peppermint Mocha
The peppermint mocha is a classic, with signature espresso, peppermint, and mocha flavors topped with whipped cream and chocolate curls. This toasty drink comes in hot, iced, and blended! This mouthwatering drink makes you feel the Christmas spirit all day!
Cran- Merry Orange Refreshers
As one of the newest editions of the Holiday Starbucks drinks, these drinks are very festive! With hints of orange, spices, and real cranberries, this refresher is a sweet option for those who don't like coffee. You can get them with coconut milk, lemonade, or alone. I haven’t tried this one yet, but I will definitely order it next!
Caramel Brulee Latte
This drink is a tasty treat in a cup! Filled with caramel brulee sauce, espresso, and steamed milk, along with a crunchy brulee topping! For a cold winter morning, this would definitely be a great start to your day!
Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai
This iced drink does live up to the name! With notes of gingerbread spices and creamy oat milk, the combo goes extremely well together. It feels like you're being transported to a cozy gingerbread house, like in a fairytale!
Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
This is one of my favorite drinks ever! As you see from the name, it tastes like a refreshing sugar cookie waiting to be devoured. This “blonde” espresso mixed with almond milk and sprinkle toppings, is (in my opinion) the best Christmas drink!
Chestnut Praline Latte
This tasty espresso is making a return! As a fan favorite, many were wondering if this roasty drink would be back for another year. And it is! This drink has caramelized chestnut flavors, along with whipped cream. And of course, it's topped with spiced praline crumbs.
Turkey Sage Danish
And now, the new food additions! This pastry is the definition of perfect breakfast food. With perfectly cooked pastry, and sausage nestled inside, who could want anything more? And with a mesmerizing bechamel sauce to top it off, it’s the best present I could give my stomach!
Snowman Cake Pop
Last but certainly not least, the iconic snowman cake pop! This vanilla cake covered in creamy icing is the best winter treat! If you ask anyone, these cake pops are cute, yummy, and a great snack for kids and adults!
All in all, these drinks are a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! My personal favorites are the iced sugar cookie (with oat milk instead) and the caramel brulee latte! There are so many ways to get merrier with your drinks, by adding peppermint, whipped cream, and so much more! Having a very festive drink makes holidays very fun, although this isn't the reason for the season. Knowing that without Jesus being born we wouldn't have any of these fun traditions makes me eternally grateful! Happy Holidays!!
