Spooky season has arrived at Starbucks with the beloved coffee brand launching its annual Halloween-inspired iced beverage.
The irresistible delight debuts alongside a wicked trove of merchandise and a themed sweet treat. Here’s everything you need to know.

This year, the classic is joined by an array of exciting sister beverages, including the indulgent Maple Pecan Macchiato, Iced Apple Crumble Matcha Latte, and newly released Aerocano.
The latter sees Starbucks blonde roast espresso shots aerated with ice, resulting in a creamy, smooth-textured Americano-style beverage, as per the brand.
Tried everything on the autumn menu already? Good news: a Halloween special has arrived for a limited time, and you can grab it now.
Starbucks Mummy Frappuccino now on sale
On Thursday (15 December), a ghoulish delight known as the Mummy Frappuccino launched in the UK.
White mocha-flavoured sauce and cookie crumb combine with milk. The ingredients are blended with ice and poured into a glass that’s swirled with sweet mocha drizzle.
Your barista will squirt whipped cream on top before topping the £6.50 drink off with a pair of cute chocolate button eyes.
Mummy Cake Pop
Fancy something sweet to go with the frightfully fun new drink? While stocks last, customers can scoop up a scary Mummy Cake Pop (£3.05)
The bite-sized dessert combines red velvet cake and vanilla-flavoured frosting with biscuit crumb, encased in white chocolate. It’s finished with white chocolate-flavoured decoration and black icing eyes.
Both are available at your local store, via purchase through the Starbucks UK app, or on Starbucks Delivers from 15 October to 1 November.

Alongside the treats, Starbucks fans can pick up Halloween-themed reusable cups and adorable blind boxes, while stocks last.
