Starbucks has released their new holiday menu and their festive holiday cups. There are four new cups celebrating the 25th anniversary of the chain’s holiday cups. Just like last year, the cups theme is inspired by gifts. The names of the new cups are: Gift Wrapped Magic – decorated in red and green, the cup features red "wavy ribbons and shimmering sparkles" giving the feeling of holiday wrapping paper. Frosted Sparkle – a mint green cup with “retro” starbursts and diamond shapes. Ornament Wonder – a white cup bathed in a “pattern of colorful holiday motifs” like ornaments and Christmas trees. Cozy Evergreen – a bright red cup with a white evergreen tree graphic pattern.
As for the holiday menu, many favorites are back, including last year’s new addition, the Iced Sugar Cookie Almond milk Latte. Other returning favorites include Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha and the Irish Cream Cold Brew. While the drink menu hasn’t changed, Starbucks added a new food item, the Chocolate Pistachio Swirl, which is described as s "creamy chocolate filling with notes of cinnamon and coffee is swirled into buttery brioche-inspired dough with mint chocolate chips and topped with chopped pistachios."
