Starbucks spreads festive joy with new holiday menu

Starbucks The holiday season returns to Starbucks with a menu designed to bring people together through flavour, tradition, and moments of connection.

From 30 October 2025, Starbucks® Rewards members can enjoy early access to the new Chocolatey Mousse Latte, a seasonal creation available hot or iced. Blending Starbucks signature espresso with a velvety nutty-flavour sauce, steamed milk, and a cloud of chocolatey whipped cream finished with a dusting of cocoa, it’s the ultimate seasonal sip to share with loved ones.

“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 new latte joins a line-up of seasonal icons, including the Toffee Nut Latte, Gingerbread Latte, and Eggnog Latte, all available hot or iced.

All customers will be able to try the new holiday menu from 6 November, where all hot beverages will be served in this season’s new design of Starbucks iconic Red Cup, perfect for sharing moments of connection this festive season. Customers can also embrace festive flavours even further by opting for the Starbucks® Christmas Blend in any espresso-based drink such as a latte or americano. With notes of herbs, baking spices and a rich chocolate finish, this blend captures the magic of the season in every sip.

For those who enjoy matcha, Starbucks is also introducing two new seasonal twists on the trending beverage: the Iced Toffee Nut Cream Matcha Latte and Iced Gingerbread Cream Matcha Latte. Available either hot or iced, each drink blends matcha with Starbucks signature seasonal flavours.

The celebrations don’t stop there. Also launching on 6 November, Starbucks is introducing a feast of festive foods including the new Festive Turkey Sandwich served on soft cranberry bread, and the Festive Feast Toastie, packed full of the tastes of the season. From the bakery, the Mince Pie, Chocolate Babka and Black Forest Slice are set to make taste buds tingle and bring further festive joy to every coffee moment.

Whether it’s a quiet morning ritual, a festive catch-up, or the first sip of the season, Starbucks invited customers to embrace every coffee moment that matters this Holiday.

Here’s how Starbucks® Rewards members can try the Starbucks Holiday menu, from 30 October 2025:
