October 31st 2024.
It's that time of year again when we start thinking about swapping out the spooky Halloween decorations for some festive tinsel. And while most people are still focused on planning their Halloween costumes, Starbucks is already unveiling part of their Christmas menu for 2024. That's right, we said Christmas in 2024.
The beloved coffee chain is getting ready to bring back their signature red holiday cups and serve up some delicious hot drinks for the season. And to make things even better, they are bringing back four fan-favourite beverages - the Toffee Nut Latte, Gingerbread Latte, Caramel Waffle Latte, and Eggnog Latte. These drinks will be available hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino blended beverage, so there's something for everyone.
Let's start with the Toffee Nut Latte. This tasty drink combines espresso with toffee nut flavour syrup and steamed milk, and is finished off with whipped cream and toffee nut sprinkles. Yum! And for those who love a good caramel treat, the Caramel Waffle Latte is made with caramel waffle flavour syrup, steamed milk, whipped cream, and a spiced caramel waffle crunch on top.
But let's not forget about the Gingerbread Latte, a holiday staple for many. This drink is made with gingerbread syrup, espresso, steamed milk, and topped with a gingerbread infused whipped cream and cinnamon. And for those who crave the classic Christmas flavour of eggnog, the Eggnog Latte is made with espresso and eggnog, and topped with ground nutmeg. Is your mouth watering yet?
Starbucks Rewards customers can start ordering these Christmas drinks from October 31, but for everyone else, they'll have to wait until November 7. However, if you download the app and sign up, you can get your hands on these festive drinks early.
But coffee isn't the only thing Starbucks is bringing to the table this holiday season. They're also launching a new cake pop shaped like a polar bear. This adorable treat is made with vanilla flavour sponge, a digestive biscuit crumb, chocolate, icing, and frosting. And if that's not enough, there are even more surprises in store as Starbucks will be releasing their full holiday menu on November 7.
While many are excited about the festive changes, some are realizing that with the swap from autumnal drinks to winter ones, they'll likely lose their favorite drink at some point. Social media users have revealed that the "best drink ever" for many is the Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai, which was introduced in the UK this year. People have been raving about this drink, calling it "fire" and "like crack."
But don't worry, regular Iced Chais are available year-round at Starbucks, so you can always experiment with different creams and syrups to recreate your favorite seasonal drink. And for those who can't wait for Christmas drinks, the chain is also launching their full holiday menu on November 7.
It may seem early for a Christmas menu, but Starbucks is just responding to the demand. The Pumpkin Cream Iced Chai was released earlier than ever this year due to the overwhelming popularity of the drink. And it's not just Starbucks, other brands like M&S and Iceland are also getting in on the festive spirit early.
So whether you're excited about the Christmas drinks or sad to see some of your favorites leave the menu, it's clear that the holiday season is upon us. And who knows, maybe we'll start seeing Christmas decorations in stores before Halloween even arrives. But one thing's for sure, Starbucks will always be there to provide us with our much-needed caffeine fix, no matter what the season.
