STARBUCKS has revealed its Christmas menu, and fans are in for a festive treat with the return of three winter favourite drinks.
The festive drinks will also make their return in this year’s limited-edition Red Cups, a Christmas tradition for many fans.
The coffee chain is bringing back three much-loved seasonal favourites – the Toffee Nut Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte, alongside a brand-new creation, the Chocolatey Mousse Latte.
From today, Starbucks Rewards members can enjoy early access to the new Chocolatey Mousse Latte, before the full Holiday menu rolls out to all customers on November 6.
The Chocolatey Mousse Latte combines Starbucks’ signature espresso with a velvety nutty-flavour sauce, steamed milk, and a layer of chocolatey whipped cream dusted with cocoa.
Available hot or iced, it promises a luxurious twist on classic festive flavours.

“We wanted to bring something new and distinctive to the Holiday menu, and the Chocolatey Mousse Latte does just that,” says Dan Saxby, beverage product developer, Starbucks EMEA.
“The rich cocoa and nutty notes capture the warmth and comfort of the season, while complementing the festive flavours of our seasonal icons.
“What truly sets it apart is the cloud-like, chocolatey mousse topping, bringing a unique texture that creates a light and velvety texture in every sip.”
The returning favourites, Toffee Nut Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte, are back by popular demand, each blending Starbucks’ signature espresso with festive flavours and topped with whipped cream and seasonal sprinkles.
The drinks can be ordered hot or iced.
For matcha lovers, Starbucks has added a merry green twist to the menu.
New matcha-based drinks include the Toffee Nut Cream Matcha Latte and Gingerbread Cream Matcha Latte, available hot or iced.
These drinks combine the smooth taste of matcha with Starbucks’ iconic Christmas flavours for a festive fusion.
Holiday food menu is just as indulgent, featuring savoury options include the Festive Feast Toastie, filled with chicken breast, sage & onion stuffing, gravy, bacon, cranberry sauce and Cheddar cheese, and the Festive Turkey Sandwich on soft cranberry bread.
Sweet treats are also making a return, with the Mince Pie, Chocolate Babka, and Black Forest Slice joined by new additions like the Festive Triple Chocolate Brownie and Caramelised Pecan & White Chocolate Cookie (available in selected stores).
For those wanting to get into the festive spirit early, Starbucks Rewards members can start sipping from October 30.
Members earn Stars on every purchase, which can be redeemed for drinks, food and merchandise.
