The coffee chain is rolling out its holiday menu starting today (Nov. 3) with a line of drinks, food and festive cups now available.
“We are really focused on creating a joyful experience throughout the entire Starbucks experience – whether a customer is visiting at our drive-thru or in our café,” Gary Jacobson, Starbucks creative director for this year’s holiday campaign. “Whatever we can touch, we wanted to make sure that we make someone’s day a little bit brighter in a holiday way.”
The holiday beverage available this year include Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew and, returning for its second holiday season, the nondairy Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte.
In the bakery case, new this year is the Chocolate Pistachio Swirl, which joins the returning Reindeer Cake Pop, Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, Cranberry Bliss Bar and Snowman Cookie. According to Starbucks, the new Chocolate Pistachio Swirl has a buttery brioche-inspired dough with mint chocolate chips and filled with a creamy chocolate filling with notes of cinnamon and coffee and topped with chopped pistachios.
Joining the new food and gifts are the specially designed Starbucks holiday cups. This year’s designs – the 25th in the Starbucks collection – feature sparkles, ornaments and snowflakes with ribbon elements in traditional Christmas colors along with mint green. There’s also a gift tag on the back of each cup.
