Christmas is obviously the most magical time of the year, but the festive season also means cold temperatures, strong winds and more than likely some showers of rain. How do you combat the cold and stay warm and cosy? With Christmas coffees and other hot drinks of course. If you’re wondering when you can get your hands on Starbucks Christmas menu for 2024, here's what we expect to be in store this year.
Nothing signals the start of the festive season more than the smooth transition from Starbucks' pumpkin-spiced latte (to which we must wave, sadly, goodbye) to hot drinks flavoured with cinnamon, gingerbread and eggnog. This year, Starbucks has officially announced the return of some of its much-loved seasonal lattes, alongside a brand-new sweet treat that we can't wait to get our hands on.
If coffee isn’t really your thing, then stay tuned for a couple of brand-new hot beverages this year. While we haven't yet spied any seasonal hot chocolates, Starbucks has announced a spiced festive tea that's guaranteed to warm your cockles when the winter chill kicks in.
