Starbucks just introduced a new hot chocolate drink to its line of cocoa beverages (peppermint hot cocoa ❤️) and if you love holiday cookies, you'll probably love this. It's called the Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa and it's available now.

The drink features hot cocoa with steamed milk, white chocolate mocha sauce, and Cinnamon Dolce syrup. It's then topped with whipped cream and a little bit of cinnamon sugar. Yum!

To see if it's as delicious as it sounds, I tried it out with two other Cosmopolitan.com editors. The verdict:

1. "It tastes so good and reminds me of eating cinnamon sugar toast, which I love. But I could only drink it in small quantities because it is super creamy and sweet." -Caitlin

Rating: 8/10

2. "Because I loathe PSLs - they taste like chemically processed and criminally sweet garbage - I went into this with low expectations. But, I was secretly hoping I'd be surprised by a drink that tastes exactly like a snickerdoodle cookie, my fave after chocolate-chocolate chip. I was blown away to find that it tasted even better than the dessert - like warm, sweet milk with a cinnamon-butter finish. Its only shortcoming was that it had no actually coffee or caffeine. On the bright side, it only took one sip and two seconds for my sugar high to hit, and I definitely felt all warm and fuzzy after drinking. I'd definitely recommend it as a holiday treat and would be interested to taste a lighter version made with Almondmilk just to see whether it's full-fat dairy or this actual recipe that I'm obsessed with." -Elizabeth

3. It's literally dessert in your mouth. Like, if you melted a Snickerdoodle cookie and drank the puddle that remained, I would imagine it would taste like this. The only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have caffeine. If I were to get it again, I'd get a tall, just because of how sweet it is. -Me

Rating: 8.5/10

Another drink for you to enjoy #RedCupSeason with, y'all!
