Whether you’d like to admit it or not, the holiday season is not really complete without Starbucks’ classic red holiday cups filled with their infamous, sickeningly sweet, holiday drinks.
While this year features all of your long-time seasonal favorites, there is a new surprise drink that has yet to hit locations. While little has been revealed about this mystery beverage, it is based off the Australian classic, a flat white.
Here is a list of the (almost) complete list of drinks coming this holiday season.
(Note: all of these seasonal favorites are available iced.)
