Get Festive with Starbucks' 2023 Holiday Drink Menu Featuring Two Exciting New Beverages

The 2023 Starbucks holiday drink menu has two new festive beverages.

Is it too early to cue the jingle bells? Not when Starbucks holiday drinks are making a comeback! Brace yourselves, fashionistas, because your favorite seasonal sips are hitting the menu once again—and this time with some exciting additions that will make you weak in the knees. So put down that pumpkin spice latte and listen up, because we’ve got some piping hot details to share.

The Wait is (Almost) Over

As you bask in the afterglow of Halloween, get ready to shift into holiday mode faster than Santa on a sugar rush. The Starbucks holiday cups, those iconic beacons of the festive season, are primed for their grand entrance tomorrow, Thursday, November 2. And this year, they’re rocking a splash of Barbiecore-inspired pink along with other charming designs. It’s the perfect vessel to cradle your soon-to-be favorite holiday drink.

Say Hello to the Newcomer

Drumroll, please! Get ready to meet the newbie on the block, the star of the show: the iced gingerbread oat milk chai. It’s a tantalizing blend of oat milk, black tea infused with cinnamon and warming spices, topped with a sprinkle of holiday magic. This beguiling concoction is coffee-free, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it dirty by adding a shot of espresso—you daredevil, you! And here’s a cheeky secret-menu alert: If you’re yearning for that gingerbread latte nostalgia, just ask for some gingerbread syrup. (But shh, you didn’t hear it from me.)

The Oleato

Starbucks is also bringing some Oleato magic to select locations in the US. Ole-what? Well, they’re coffee drinks infused with olive oil, and they are making waves in the caffeine community. Oleato comes bearing a special holiday gift for your taste buds: the Oleato gingerbread oat milk latte. Picture this—a thrilling blend of blonde espresso roast shimmering with the aroma of warm gingerbread, infused with steamed oat milk, and topped with a citrusy sprinkle. It’s pure holiday cookie joy in a cup! So, be sure to check if your store is a lucky carrier of this exclusive Oleato delight. If it is, consider your holiday season officially spiced up!

The Classics are Back

Fear not, my friends, for your beloved classics are making their triumphant return to the Starbucks stage. Brace yourselves for the peppermint mocha, a minty marvel of espresso, steamed milk, mocha sauce, and peppermint syrup, all topped off with whipped cream and irresistible dark chocolate curls. But wait, there’s more! How about the iced sugar cookie almond milk latte? Indulge in the delectable combo of almond milk, sugar-cookie-flavored syrup, blonde espresso, and whimsical red and green sprinkles dancing atop your drink. Don’t worry; the drink can be made hot if the weather outside is frightful.

Dessert in a Cup

The land of Starbucks holiday drinks wouldn’t be complete without a dessert in a cup. Allow me to introduce the caramel brûlée latte. This decadent masterpiece is a blend of espresso, steamed milk, and caramel brûlée sauce, topped with whipped cream and seductive caramel brûlée bits. It’s an irresistible temptation that will have you coming back for seconds. And if you’re feeling nutty, the chestnut praline latte is the one for you. Sip on the enchanting blend of espresso, steamed milk of your choice, chestnut praline syrup, and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of spiced praline crumbs.

Tasty Treats to Treat Yo’Self

We can’t forget the delectable treats that accompany these holiday delights. The Cranberry Bliss Bar, Gingerbread Loaf, Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish are all making a much-anticipated comeback. Pair them with your choice of holiday drinks for an experience that will transport you straight to winter wonderland bliss.

The Ultimate Question: What’s the Best?

Ah, the million-dollar question! The truth is, the best Starbucks holiday drink is the one that makes your heart skip a beat and your taste buds sing. Whether you prefer the sweet sensation of a Peppermint Mocha or seek a more adventurous sip with the iced gingerbread oat milk chai, customization is your superpower. Don’t be shy to ask your friendly barista for variations like different milk options or extra shots of espresso. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, let tradition guide you, like the beloved Peppermint Mocha that has been a fan favorite for over two decades.

Finally, the time has come to immerse yourself in the joyous flavors of the season. Head over to your local Starbucks, dive into their delightful holiday menu, and let the festive elixirs warm your soul. ’Tis the season to sip with style!
