The holidays aren’t officially here until you’re wandering around Target with a Starbucks Peppermint Mocha in hand and music blaring from Mariah’s speakers—which means you need to get in your car now. Yes, Starbucks is officially back for the 2024 holiday menu (and so are the red cups).
Just like PSL in the fall, Starbucks’ holiday lineup is filled with all your favorite holiday flavors. You can enjoy the classic Peppermint Mocha and holiday favorites like Creme Brulee Latte and Chestnut Praline Latte. All are available hot or iced, along with an Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte and, for tea fans, an Iced Gingerbread Oatmeal Milk Tea.
But there are some new drinks coming soon, and while I love Peppermint Mocha, I do like lighter, refreshing flavors like the new Starbucks Cran-Merry Orange Refresher.
Basically a chilly Christmas in a cup, and while I hope Georgia will turn into a winter wonderland once I start playing Christmas music, I’m no fool. Cran-Merry Orange Refresher is this A festive seasonal drink perfect for warmer climates. You can also order Cran-Merry orange lemonade refreshers or Cran-Merry drinks made with coconut milk.
If you like cold foam in your Starbucks drinks, you can try the returning Mint Chocolate flavor as well as new cold foam flavors like Gingerbread and Salted Pecan.
If you’ve been on the dairy-free train for a while, you’ll also be happy to hear that Starbucks is no longer charging extra to customize your drinks with non-dairy alternatives, whether you choose soy, oat, almond or coconut milk.
Starting November 7, enjoy all your favorite holiday treats at Starbucks stores nationwide. You can even enjoy them in the famous red cup, including four new hot cup designs and a festive cold cup design. You can also buy new pastries like Türkiye Sage Danish, Snowman Cake Pops and Penguin Cookies. (Don’t worry, the Cranberry Bliss Bar is totally back.)
But don’t sleep in the grocery store aisles. In fact, I think you should buy your holiday beverage of choice from the Starbucks counter at your local Target and then just walk to the grocery section and stock up on some seasonal household beverages.
You can still get the seasonal must-haves (like Peppermint Mocha Flavored Coffee, White Chocolate Mocha Creamer, and Starbucks Holiday Roasted Coffee), but I’m super excited to try the new Peppermint Mocha Flavored Creamer and Starbucks Vanilla Chocolate Cold Brew Concentrate liquid. (Hats off to God, I’m going to mix them up and go to another happy planet.) Starbucks grocery stores will also launch a new non-dairy sugar cookie latte creamer that’s sure to make you feel like you’re in every sip All like Santa Claus (and not bubbling up the belly afterwards).
So, wait in line for Mariah and open the Starbucks app – it’s time to enjoy the holidays.
