The holiday season is here, and you know the perfect way to celebrate is with a warm cup of coffee. Starbucks’ holiday menu will always put you in a jolly mood, but a good drink is always in need of a good song to actually make your taste buds sing. So what song is perfect for your drink?
Caramel Brulée Latte:
“If you are chilly, here take my sweater.Your head is aching, I’ll make it better”
“The Way I Am” – Ingrid Michaelson.
The sweet caramel brulée sauce mixed in with espresso and steamed milk will put you in a mood to sway a little, or maybe even do a jig. It flawlessly compliments the soft beats and tambourine shakes to Ingrid’s hit song. It’s almost as if this drink is singing right to you coffee lovers!
Chestnut Praline Latte:
“Hello, it’s me
I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet”
“Hello” – Adele
This rich, deep, chestnut taste will take you back through the last year. All those late nights studying, adventures through D.C. with your friends, perhaps even a breakup, will get settled with this golden drink. If you’re in the mood for mellow reminiscing, this song and drink pairing will get you right where you want to be—remembering with happiness.
Peppermint Mocha:
“Uh huh, show me what you got now
Come and make it worth my while”
“Worth It” – Fifth Harmony
Bad day? Feeling down? Sick of the cold (even though, ugh, it just began)? This poppin’ drink will get you up and out of your seat ready to take on the world and forget anything wrong. This song and the evelasting peppermint taste mixed with sweet mocha sauce will help you shake off anything. One sip and you’ll be ready to scream “I’m worth it” to the clouds.
Eggnog Latte:
“It’s the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’mma be under the mistletoe”
Mistletoe – Justin Bieber
Yes, Justin Bieber isn’t very high on many people’s nice list this year, but this song is still gold for the holiday season. It’s laid—back guitar and beats are great for sipping on an eggnog latte and relaxing with friends or even your significant other. Together, the two will make you fall in love with the season all over again.
Gingerbread Latte:
“I’ve got to get home – Oh baby, you’ll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat – It’s up to your knees out there”
Baby It’s Cold Outside – (Your favorite version)
This drink is for when it gets too cold that it’s impossible to survive without a cup in your hand. Also, it’s the epitome of the holiday season, so it’s only fitting that you spend your drink listening to something that will put you in the mood. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, you’ve got to admit it’s basically Christmas in a cup. You can almost taste all those incoming presents of the season, beautiful snowfalls, warm lighting and the all time holiday favorite—gingerbread (well, you can actually taste that).
