If you are the sort of person who loves a sugary drink, this is the perfect story for you. The famous holiday beverages that Starbucks is known for providing have made their return and Coffee Mate is also getting in on the fun.
The festive flavors are back, that is for sure! Those who still have their holiday-themed Starbucks cups are about to dust them off.
According to Starbucks, starting on November 3, they will have fresh cup designs, new food items to try and yes, some of your old favorites are going to be making a comeback. The caramel brulée latte, the chestnut praline latte, the toasted white chocolate mocha, and the Irish cream cold brew are making their way to the menu, much to everyone’s delight.
If you are more of a baked goods type, a chocolate pistachio swirl is being added as well. In a press release, the company noted that a “buttery, brioche-inspired dough” is used to create the treat and the rich chocolate filling has been laced with cinnamon.

Mint chocolate chips and chopped pistachios are also sprinkled atop these delicious-sounding snacks. The company also plans to debut four new cup styles that are all about displaying the “comforts and cheer of the season”.”
The cups have been designed to look just like wrapped presents. “We have always talked about the cups as little gifts, and we hope they feel like a festive present to our customers and store partners,” Starbucks’ creative director Gary Jacobson said in a recent statement. This continues a long, proud tradition for Starbucks when it comes to their famed holiday cups.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Starbucks’ holiday cups, as they have been a part of the equation since 1997. “Looking back at all the years of holiday cups, you can see the commitment to design and artistry and all things handcrafted,” Jacobson continued. “I think that’s why they have become part of a lot of people’s holiday traditions. They invite people in because each new design captures a moment in time with its own unique take on the holidays.”
Meanwhile, Coffee Mate will be added Natural Bliss Pumpkin Spice Flavored Oat Milk Creamer and Natural Bliss Cinnamon Swirl Latte Flavored Creamer to their holiday roster. The Toll House Cookies ‘n Cocoa Creamer, Natural Bliss Pumpkin Spice Flavored Creamer, Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer, and Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha Creamer are also making their triumphant return!
