Brand-New 2026 Holiday Drinks: Tiramisu Velvet & Apple Pomegranate
This holiday season introduces two bold, chef-inspired flavor concepts: a luxurious dessert-inspired Italian coffee collection and crisp winter fruit refreshers packed with popping pomegranate pearls.
Tiramisu Velvet Latte (Hot & Iced)
Inspired by the classic Italian dessert. Crafted with Starbucks Signature Espresso, steamed whole milk, rich vanilla syrup, layered with luxurious Velvet Mascarpone Cold Foam, and dusted with dark cocoa and finely ground espresso.
Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew
Starbucks signature 20-hour steeped slow cold brew sweetened with rich vanilla syrup, crowned with a thick cloud of Mascarpone Cold Foam and an artisanal cocoa-coffee dusting. Ultra-smooth with zero bitterness.
Apple Pomegranate Starbucks Refreshers®
A jewel-toned winter sip combining crisp Granny Smith apple notes, natural green coffee energy, and bursting ruby-red pomegranate pearls that release tart-sweet joy with every sip through an eco-straw.
Returning Holiday Classics: Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée & More
The holiday season wouldn't be complete without the nostalgic comfort of peppermint mocha, roasted caramel brulée, and warm winter spices. All 5 beloved recipes return to menus on November 5.
Peppermint Mocha
The undisputed icon of holiday coffee. Rich dark mocha sauce, cool peppermint syrup, espresso, and steamed milk crowned with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.
Caramel Brulée Latte
Velvety espresso and steamed milk swirled with rich caramel brulée sauce, crowned with whipped cream and crunchy caramelized brulée bits.
Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
Nostalgic spritz cookie flavors combined with Starbucks Blonde® Espresso and velvety steamed almondmilk, finished with festive red and green holiday sprinkles.
Chestnut Praline Latte
Warm caramelized chestnut flavor paired with delicate holiday spices, espresso, whipped cream, and crunchy spiced praline crumbs.
Gingerbread Chai
Hearty black tea chai spices blended with warm gingerbread syrup and steamed milk. Also popular iced with Gingerbread Sweet Cream Cold Foam.
How to Order Lower-Calorie Starbucks Holiday Drinks
Holiday beverages are decadent treats, often packing 350 to 500+ calories with standard whole milk and whipped cream. Here is how to customize your order to cut 100–200 calories while keeping all the festive flavor:
1. Swap to Plant-Based Milk
Replacing standard 2% or whole milk with Almondmilk (Starbucks' lowest calorie milk option) saves 70–90 calories on a Grande latte.
2. Request Half the Syrup Pumps
A standard Grande receives 4 pumps of syrup. Requesting 2 pumps cuts ~40 calories and ~10g of sugar without sacrificing the holiday flavor profile.
3. Skip the Whipped Cream
Standard vanilla whipped cream adds 80 to 110 calories and 9g of fat. Simply ask for 'no whip' to instantly transform your drink into a lighter sip.
4. Opt for Cold Brew with Holiday Foam
Order an unsweetened Cold Brew and add a crown of Velvet Mascarpone or Peppermint Cold Foam (around 80–100 Cal total) instead of a 400 Cal latte.
Holiday Bakery: Bearista Cake Pop & Cranberry Bliss Bar
From nostalgic cranberry blondies to festive bear cake pops with cozy earmuffs, explore the seasonal bakery and savory breakfast lineup crafted to accompany your holiday sips.
Bearista Bear Cake Pop
Fluffy vanilla cake pop dipped in smooth white chocolate frosting, styled as a cute smiling bear wearing holiday winter earmuffs.
Cranberry Bliss® Bar
Blondie cake base loaded with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, topped with cream cheese icing, orange zest, and a cranberry drizzle.
Sugar Plum Cheese Danish
Flaky pastry crust filled with rich cream cheese and centered with a sweet, spiced sugar plum jam.
Snowman Shortbread Cookie
Buttery, crumbly shortbread cookie dressed in smiling white royal icing and a hand-piped holiday scarf.
Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese
Tender shredded braised beef, melted Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and holiday herb spread on artisan sourdough.
