It's Time for the 2025 Starbucks Holiday Menu. Here's Everything You Need to Know.
It's the most wonderful time of the year — time for the Starbucks holiday menu. If you're a fan of the iconic holiday beverages, such as the Peppermint Mocha or Gingerbread Latte, then you're in for a treat. The first half of the 2025 holiday menu at Starbucks already launched on November 6, and there's still more to come.
In Starbucks' history, the Peppermint Mocha was the first seasonal beverage offered at the coffee shop, and it's one that many customers look forward to each year. But the Peppermint Mocha isn't the only tasty latte you'll find on the holiday menu. There are options for every coffee lover and many delicious bakery treats to enjoy.
In this slideshow, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about the holiday beverages currently available at a Starbucks near you and some of the other seasonal favorites you can expect to see soon.
The Holiday Menu Is Here
If there's one thing Starbucks fans can agree on, it's that this is the best time of the year. In November, at many locations, you can still get a Pumpkin Spice Latte or try one of the other seasonal favorites. No matter what drink or bakery item you choose, there's something festive for everyone to enjoy. Here's a look at the holiday beverages on the menu this year.
First Off, the Peppermint Mocha
It's not the holiday season at Starbucks without the return of the Peppermint Mocha. This fan favorite combines Starbucks Signature Espresso with steamed milk, mocha sauce, and peppermint-flavored syrup. It's then topped with whipped cream and chocolate curls. You can enjoy it hot or iced.
Caramel Brulée Latte
The Caramel Brulée Latte is another favorite holiday beverage at Starbucks. It's sweeter than many of the other beverages but still has the prominent coffee flavor from the Signature Espresso. This latte is flavored with the caramel brulée sauce and is complete with whipped cream and a crunchy and sweet caramel brulée topping.
Iced Sugar Cookie Latte
The Iced Sugar Cookie Latte was first released at Starbucks during the 2021 holiday season. This quickly became a favorite for Starbucks customers and has returned with the holiday menu each year. The Iced Sugar Cookie Latte comes with the Starbucks Blonde Espresso, 2% milk, and sugar-cookie flavored syrup. The popular variation of the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte with half-and-half is also on the menu this year, called the Iced Sugar Cookie Breve.
Iced Gingerbread Chai
If tea is more your style of drink, you can also enjoy a delicious holiday beverage at Starbucks. The Iced Gingerbread Chai has all the aspects of Starbucks' chai tea, but with gingerbread-flavored cold foam and a holiday spice topping.
Holiday Cold Foams
If you're a fan of the Starbucks cold brew with cold foam, there are some fun holiday flavors for you to order. The Holiday Cold Foam options include:
- Gingerbread Cream Cold Foam
- Peppermint Chocolate Cream Cold Foam
- Sugar Cookie Cream Cold Foam
- Caramel Brulée Cream Cold Foam
All of the holiday cold foams, except for the Caramel Brulée Cream Cold Foam, can be made non-dairy. Also, you can ask for the protein option with any of the cold foams to add 15 grams of protein to your drink.
There's More to Come at Starbucks
The holiday season has begun, and there are many holiday beverages to enjoy at your local Starbucks. Soon, you'll also be able to order the Chestnut Praline Latte and the Eggnog Latte. These two beverages will be available at Starbucks starting December 2, 2025.
New and Returning Holiday Bakery Items
The holiday beverages on the menu are only half of the fun at Starbucks. Each year, there are also several bakery treats available at the coffee chain. This year, there are three returning bakery items and two new items.
Snowman Cookie
The Snowman Cookie is a viral treat that returns to Starbucks every holiday season. This shortbread cookie includes a white chocolate icing and is decorated as the most adorable snowman.
Cranberry Bliss Bar
Even though the Cranberry Bliss Bar is still a holiday favorite, it's been around longer than most other bakery treats at Starbucks. With the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavors, this treat has been around since 1997, so it's no wonder it's on the Starbucks menu again this year.
Sugar Plum Cheese Danish
Another returning favorite is the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish. This treat is a buttery pastry with a cream cheese filling and sugar-plum spread. It has the best combination of sweet, fruity, and spiced holiday flavors.
Polar Bear Cake Pop
Starbucks is notorious for many things, including its adorable cake pops. This year, a new cake pop takes the stage. The Polar Bear Cake Pop is made from vanilla cake and buttercream. The outside is decorated with white chocolate icing, and the polar bear is wearing a holiday hat.
Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
Another new item on the Starbucks holiday menu is the Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. This bread includes flaky croissant pieces with cinnamon-sugar and a streusel topping. If this becomes your new favorite, you're in luck. The Cinnamon Pull-Apart will now be available at Starbucks year-round.
Red Cup Day at Starbucks
If you're looking for some additional fun, November 13, 2025, is Red Cup Day at Starbucks. Anyone who purchases a holiday beverage on this day will get their own collectible reusable red cup. Enjoy the holiday season this year with your favorite Starbucks drink and treat.
