Following the debut of the much-loved pumpkin spice latte and other autumn drinks, Starbucks has fully entered the Christmas season, which enabled the company to assist coffee lovers in getting into the festive spirit.
The holiday menu for 2024 was introduced by Starbucks on November 7th, and it features a variety of beverages and snacks that are both new and returning to the menu. Additionally, the announcement of the menu decrease comes with the launch of the chain’s new holiday mugs, which are available in four different festive designs.
The holiday menu for this year consists of five different food items and eight different beverages. Among the seasonal drinks is a brand-new line of Cran-Merry Orange Refreshers, which comes in three distinct varieties.
Warm spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg, are combined with the tastes of sweet orange and tart cranberries in the Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, which has a grande size and has 100 calories. In the next step, it is mixed with ice, water, and actual cranberries. In addition, there is the Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher, which is the new Refresher product that contains lemonade and has 140 calories per grande measure.
The Cran-Merry Drink, which is the Cran-Merry Refresher together with creamy coconut milk, is the third and final member of the holiday Refresher trio. It has a grande size and has 140 calories.
Additionally, there are the seasonal beverages that are being brought back, which, of course, involve the fan-favorite Peppermint Mocha, which has 440 calories per grande serving. Steamed milk, mocha sauce, peppermint-flavored syrup, and the trademark espresso that Starbucks is known for are the ingredients that go into making this famous beverage, which is making its comeback for the 22nd year. Whipped cream and dark-colored chocolate curls are also used to decorate the top of the dessert. Guests have the option of drinking this beverage hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino.
If you were a fan of the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai that was offered at Starbucks the previous year (with 370 calories per grande), you will be pleased to know that the seasonal beverage has been brought back for a second time. The hot chai spices, the creamy oat milk, the ice, the non-dairy gingerbread cream cold foam, and the spice topping are the components that go into making this beverage.
Other beverages that are returning for the holiday season include the Chestnut Praline Latte (330 calories per grande), the Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte (150 calories per grande), and the Caramel Brûlée Latte (410 calories per grande). Hot, iced, or blended Frappuccinos are the three options offered for these beverages.
Along with that, consumers of Starbucks now have the option of ordering from a selection of six different holiday cold foams, including two new flavors: gingerbread cream and salted pecan cream. In addition to caramel brûlée cream, peppermint chocolate butter, sugar cookie cream, chestnut praline cream, and chestnut praline cream, seasonal cold foams are also returning.
In terms of cuisine, clients of Starbucks may relish the new Turkey Sage Danish, which is a delicious pastry packed with turkey sausage and a cream béchamel sauce. The Turkey Sage Danish has 270 calories. Additional new products include the Dark Toffee Bundt, which has 330 calories, the Penguin Cookie, which has 300 calories, and the Snowman Cake Pop, which has 170 calories and is flavored with vanilla.
Additionally, the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish (330 calories) and the Cranberry Bliss Bar (290 calories) have been brought back to the coffee chain’s menu once again.
