The Peppermint Mocha, the Caramel Brulée Latte, the Chestnut Praline Latte, and the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte are some other holiday drinks that are making a comeback.

There will also be more holiday treats, like the Cranberry Bliss Bar, Gingerbread Loaf, Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.

There will be one holiday cold cup and four new holiday hot cup styles at Starbucks. All holiday drinks will be served in these cups.

“Share the Joy” is this year’s holiday theme, according to a press statement from Kristy Cameron, creative director of Starbucks. This is because “our shared human experience and togetherness that makes the season special.”

“Starbucks red cups are like little wrapped gifts for our partners and customers,” she stated.

“My hope is that they feel excitement and joy when they see the cups, and that they want to share them with family and friends.”

The 2023 Starbucks holiday lineup builds on the success of last year’s season, which saw record sales and 10% growth year over year, the company told Fox News Digital.

This includes the push for cold drinks, which made up 75% of all drink sales in the third quarter of 2023.

Starbucks just added the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte to its fall menu, and now they’ve added the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai too.

The drink is made with oat milk and black tea that has been mixed with cinnamon and other hot spices. It is then topped with a “sprinkle of spice,” as Starbucks explained in a press release.

“It’s a love letter to gingerbread and ginger,” Mat Thornton, a senior beverage producer at Starbucks, said in a statement.

“The gingerbread flavor amplifies the spice of the chai.”

There are also new holiday menu items at Starbucks Reserve stores, such as a drink trio with an Oleato Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew, a Starbucks Reserve Peppermint Mocha, and a Espresso Martini with Peppermint Mocha.

This season, Reserves will also serve baked items such as the Princi Chocolate Hazelnut Swirl Cake, the Pistachio Maritozzo, the Apple Crumb Pie, and the Cranberry Cheese Danish.
