Starbucks Holiday Drinks (And Cups) Are Back—and a Festive Chai Is on the Menu

Here's everything you need to know about the seasonal menu.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for Starbucks lovers—your favorite holiday drinks just returned to cafes everywhere. Making its debut this season is the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, made with a blend of oat milk and black tea infused with cinnamon and warming spices, topped with a sprinkle of spice topping. If the chill in the air is too brisk to consider a cold beverage, you can get your chai hot instead of on ice.

“It’s a love letter to gingerbread and ginger,” said Mat Thornton, senior beverage developer at Starbucks, in a press release. “The gingerbread flavor amplifies the spice of the chai.”

For those who love the festive flavor, this is your season. Along with the new drink, the classic Gingerbread Latte is still on the menu. You can also order a slice of gingerbread loaf for a complete, sweetly-spiced experience.

All of the regulars are also part of the lineup: the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte. Starbucks stores that serve Oleato drinks will also be getting an Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte (the first of its kind). Baked treats include a Cranberry Bliss Bar, Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.

And it wouldn't be winter without the holiday cups. This year's collection offers four new hot cup designs, each accented with sparkles for a bit of holiday magic and a gift tag to write a merry little note. There's also a new cold cup with a delicate snow design.

“When we were looking at trends when designing this year’s holiday, we kept seeing bright, bold, uplifting colors,” said Kristy Cameron, creative director at Starbucks, in a statement. "We found that magenta alongside the holiday reds and greens lifts the traditional holiday colors and makes the red look even brighter.”

Starbucks has plenty of ideas for gift giving, too: colorful and holiday-ready reusable tumblers and mugs, plus a six-piece color-changing hot cup set to wrap up for the truly dedicated Starbucks lover. You can find the brand's holiday coffee blends on grocery store shelves and in the refrigerated section to make your favorite flavored coffee (with Starbucks creamer) at home.
