Happy Holidays, Matadors! The holiday season is coming close with Starbucks’ new holiday menu release! The holiday season officially begins the moment Starbucks brings back its iconic red cups. Starbucks has rolled out a blend of returning favorites and new seasonal treats that are already taking over social media and early school mornings.
Starbucks during this time of year feels like winter playlists and the smell of cinnamon sticks and vanilla. The classics have returned, such as the Peppermint Mocha, the Crème brûlée Latte, and the Chestnut Praline Latte. They mark the unofficial start of winter! These drinks remind us that it’s almost the season of early morning gift shopping, cozy study sessions, and driving through Christmas lights.
Starbucks always adds something new to the lineup, sometimes a twist on a nostalgic drink or sometimes a completely new flavor to keep things exciting. Trying the newest drink becomes its own tradition, a seasonal task before it disappears until next year. But this year, the real star of the show isn’t even a drink, it’s the viral Starbucks bear cup.
This year, Starbucks introduced the viral bear cup which brings chaos all across social media. Starbucks released a 3D bear cup and social media has been flooding with people racing to Starbucks at the crack of dawn for these cups. Some stores sold out within hours and resellers are listing them online for triple the price.
So whether you’re hunting for the bear cup, grabbing your first Peppermint Mocha, or collecting the red cups, Starbucks brings a little joy to the colder months, one sip at a time!
