Every year, I can’t wait for the holiday season to roll around! The first snowfall, the crisp air, and the perfect cup of hot chocolate never disappoint. I love trying new coffee shops, but you just can’t go wrong with Starbucks during the holidays. From the holiday cups to the delicious, limited-time recipes on the menu, Starbucks has it all!
With so many different drinks and just a short time to try them all, here is a review of my holiday favorites!
- Peppermint Mocha
-
The Peppermint Mocha is the perfect blend for a chilly winter day! With a combination of espresso, mocha sauce, peppermint syrup, and steamed milk, this drink has the pick-me-up vibe we need from our daily coffee, mixed with the perfect amount of sweetness. And, if your sweet tooth isn’t satisfied yet, it also comes topped with whipped cream and bits of decadent dark chocolate. If you’re a candy cane or peppermint bark lover like myself, the Peppermint Mocha is calling your name!
- Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
-
I’ve had this both hot and iced, and it has to be my #1 favorite item on the holiday menu since it came out last season! This drink is a mix of Starbucks Blonde espresso, almond milk, sugar cookie syrup, and festive-colored sprinkles to top it all off. One sip will leave you feeling like you’re biting into the classic, fluffy sugar cookies that everyone loves. This drink is a must-try for the holiday season!
- Irish Cream Cold Brew
-
I feel a strong sense of loyalty to my iced drinks no matter the season, so if you’re anything like me, the Irish Cream Cold Brew is a great option! Made with Starbucks Cold Brew, Irish cream syrup, and a delicious vanilla sweet cream cold foam topping with a dash of cocoa powder, this drink has it all. If you like to keep it simple and need your daily caffeine fix but also want to try throwing a bit of sweetness into the mix, this is the drink for you!
