Starbucks unveils brand new festive drink as it drops Christmas menu for 2025
The Starbucks 2025 festive menu has arrived early for Rewards members, introducing a new jaw-dropping seasonal creation and a whole host of moreish sweet treats that we can’t wait to get our mitts on.
Starbucks is officially in Christmas mode from today (30 October), offering everyone signed up to its premier loyalty program an early chance to grab returning holiday staples like the Toffee Nut Latte and the rich Eggnog Latte.
The Gingerbread Latte is also back on the menu alongside the brand-new Chocolatey Mousse Latte, a blend of signature espresso and nutty flavour sauce, combined with steamed milk and finished with a chocolatey cream whipped topping. A light cocoa dusting has been used for a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth finish.
All four of the beverages can be served over ice and are available in-store from today, as long as you can prove to your barista that you’re a Starbucks Rewards member.
Advert
If you haven't signed up yet - or just don't want the perks - the drinks will be available nationwide starting 6 November.
On the same day, Starbucks will release four more festive beverages: the Iced Toffee Nut Cream Matcha Latte, the Iced Gingerbread Cream Matcha Latte, and their hot, non-cream version.
The former will see pure matcha green tea combined with milk, ice and a touch of vanilla flavour syrup before being topped with delectable toffee nut flavour cream cold foam and toffee nut flavour sprinkles.
Similarly, the Iced Gingerbread Cream Matcha Latte mixes milk, ice, and vanilla syrup, topped with gingerbread-flavoured cream cold foam and a dusting of cinnamon.
More festive drinks and food on sale 6 November
On November 6, a range of festive food is making its way to your local Starbucks store, including returning favourites like the Pigs Under Blanket Roll and the Spinach & Pea Falafel Wrap.
New offerings include the Festive Feast Toastie, a golden cheese-topped sourdough filled with sliced chicken breast, a herby sage & onion stuffing, rich gravy, sweet maple-cured bacon, cranberry sauce and Cheddar cheese.
Not only do chocolate lovers have the Chocolatey Mousse Latte to sip on, but the Chocolate Babka, a hand-braided sweetened dough plaited with chocolate flavour filling and topped with a rich and silky chocolate sauce, is also available next month.
Snack on a Black Forest Slice, sandwiching morello cherry jam and white chocolate cream frosting between rich cocoa sponge, topped with powdered sugar, or select the Festive Triple Chocolate Brownie, topped with a chocolate drizzle and chocolate stars, features chunks of milk, white and dark chocolate.
Bringing up the rear is a classic Mince Pie and a Caramelised Pecan & White Chocolate Cookie.
The latter, available in participating stores, is a Starbucks all-butter cookie, generously studded with caramelised pecan nuts and white chocolate buttons.
Pumpkin Spice Latte still available
If it’s too early for a seasonal sip or to walk around with a classic Starbucks Red Cup, then don’t worry - the humble PSL and its Caramel Macchiato sister are still on offer for a limited time.
The Halloween-inspired Vampire Frappuccino, made from a chocolate cream Frappuccino blended with strawberry sauce and topped with whipped cream, is also available until October 31 - so you'd best be quick!
Wash yours down with the Mummy Cookie or the Pumpkin Cookie.
