As of November 1st, many large coffee chains, such as Starbucks, have reintroduced their annual holiday menu, fortunately just in time to combat the cold weather. Known for their distinct holiday cup designs, Starbucks holiday drinks are delicious and perfect for the late fall or early winter weather. Here is my ranking of the top 5 best holiday menu items this season!

Iced Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai

The subtle spice of chai mixed with gingerbread syrup makes for the perfect combination of flavors. The warm hints of spice from both the chai and gingerbread blend perfectly and are sure to hit the spot on a chilly day.

Gingerbread Loaf

Starbucks has introduced new food items to its menu, and the gingerbread loaf is a fan favorite. The classic gingerbread is filled with delicious, rich flavors and has a refreshing clove and citrus frosting to complement the flavors. If you are looking for a tasty treat to go along with your drink, the gingerbread loaf is the way to go.

Caramel Brulee Latte

The caramel brulee latte is a delicious pick-me-up. As opposed to the traditional caramel latte, this latte features caramel brulee sauce, which has a much richer, toastier taste compared to the regular caramel. This drink, which is best served hot, is topped off with whipped cream and caramel brulee sprinkles.

Starbucks’ Signature Hot Chocolate

A classic drink, the signature hot chocolate is nostalgic and delicious. Topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle, the Starbucks hot chocolate is perfect for people of all ages.

Peppermint Mocha

The peppermint mocha is a fan favorite; whether served hot, iced, or as a frappuccino, the chocolaty mocha mixed with peppermint syrup and sprinkled with dark chocolate flakes is sure to put you in a good mood.

Make sure to stop by your local Starbucks and try the new holiday drinks while they are here!
