Old Favorites Making a Return

These holiday classics are back, ready to warm you up and bring that cozy nostalgia with every cup.

  • Caramel Brûlé Latte:This rich latte pairs espresso with caramel brûlé sauce, steamed milk, whipped cream, and a caramel brûlé topping for that perfect balance of sweet and savory.
  • Chestnut Praline Latte:Espresso, caramelized chestnut flavors, and spiced praline crumbs will make you feel you are sipping on a winter wonderland.
  • Iced Sugar Cookie Oat Latte:A playful, dairy-free delight with sugar cookie syrup, Starbucks Blonde Espresso, oat milk, and festive red and green sprinkles.

All of these are available hot, iced, and as a Frappuccino blended beverage.

Seasonal Merchandise and Cup Designs

Because holiday coffee deserves holiday bling, Starbucks is also introducing new seasonal merch and cup designs that celebrate the season. This year’s come with themes like “Warm Wishes,” “Joyful Connection,” and “Lyrical Landscape,” featuring a mix of holiday lights, dots, and lines. 


Kristy Cameron, Starbucks’ creative director for holiday cup designs, shared that the team wanted to bring a bit of joy to each sip this season. “We love finding these genuine moments of joy and coffee to inspire the creative,” Cameron said. “Whether that’s coffee trees growing, beans roasting, cups toasting, or lights glowing – we wanted to share the warmth of our coffeehouse and the anticipation of the red cups arriving with our customers and partners.”
