It's the most wonderful time of the year and the Starbucks holiday menu has arrived in Southwest Florida.
As soon as Halloween is over, we go full speed ahead into the holiday season. Personally, I think seeing all the Christmas decor out in stores and lights going up on houses, that it's a little early for that, but it is a fun time of year. I like to wait until Thanksgiving is over to start listening to Christmas music and start decorating the house. But I do have to say that when it comes to holiday treats and drinks, it's never too early. And the Starbucks holiday menu has arrived in Southwest Florida.
Starbucks Holiday Menu Has Arrived In Southwest Florida
Today is the day the new holiday drinks hit the menu at Starbucks. I also feel so cozy holding a Starbucks red cup and enjoying something warm, even if it may be still be 80 degrees in Southwest Florida. In addition to favorites like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte and Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, there are some new offerings this year as well. The brand new drinks include a Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher and Cran-Merry Drink. There are also a variety of cold foams to add on top in flavors of Gingerbread, Peppermint Chocolate Cream, Sugar Cookie, Chestnut Praline and Caramel Brulée Cream.
Food items on the holiday menu include: the Cranberry Bliss Bar (my personal favorite), Turkey Sage Danish, Dark Toffee Bundt, Penguin Cookie, Snowman Cake Pop and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.
There are also 4 different holiday cups this year that have, according to a press release, "familiar shades of Starbucks green and cranberry red paired with fondant-inspired soft pastels". The cups for iced drinks will be new as well, featuring festive charms in white print on the plastic.
