It’s a Starbucks tradition like no other: the return of the coffee chain’s signature holiday beverages: and festive drinks.
Starbucks launched its holiday beverage menu on Thursday. The menu brings back classic drinks like Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha and Chestnut Praline Latte.
The menu also features the return of seasonal coffees, such as the Christmas blend and the Holiday blend.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Starbucks Holiday Cups, introduced in 1997. The company will introduce four new cups to kick off the holiday season.
“We’ve always talked about cups as little gifts, and we hope they feel like a festive treat for our customers and store associates,” Starbucks creative director Gary Jacobson said in a statement.
