Starbucks Holiday Drinks and Treats Arrive Thursday

You know the holidays are just around the corner when Starbuck's festive cups and special treats are back in stores across the country.

Starting Thursday, Starbucks customers will be able to order Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulee Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte and Toasted White Chocolate Mocha drinks.  Irish Cream Cold Brew and the non-dairy Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte are also returning this year, as well as the Cranberry Bliss Bar, and Snowman Cookie.

Starbucks is also rolling out four new holiday cup designs, which have been a highlight of the company's promotional efforts since they were first introduced in 1997.  This year's theme is inspired by gifts, according to a news release from Starbucks.  The four new cups are nicknamed "Gift-Wrapped Magic," "Frosted Sparkle," "Ornament Wonder," and "Cozy Evergreen."  Each have blank gift tags on the back.

"We have always talked about the cups as little gifts, and we hope they feel like a festive present to our customers and store partners,"  said Gary Jacobson, Starbucks creative director for 2022's holiday campaign.
