Peppermint has arrived. A fan-favourite flavour from the US is taking centre stage at Starbucks® UK this Holiday, bringing a true taste of the season to an exciting new range of handcrafted beverages bringing the much-loved flavour to life in a distinctly Starbucks® way.
The new line-up includes the Peppermint Mocha, Peppermint Hot Chocolate and Peppermint Frappuccino® blended beverage, alongside the Peppermint White Chocolate Matcha. Offering customers even more ways to enjoy a little Holiday in a cup.
Joining the new range are returning favourites, including the Toffee Nut Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte, available hot or iced.
From 5 November, the iconic Starbucks® Red Cups return alongside the first-ever Holiday Cold Cup, bringing a festive touch to everything from warming seasonal favourites to iced coffees and Frappuccino® blended beverages, making every Starbucks® moment feel a little more seasonal.
Victoria Robertson, marketing director at Starbucks UK, said: “Peppermint has become a real fan favourite in the US and is a flavour that feels instantly festive, so we’re excited to bring that Holiday magic to even more customers this year. Rather than introducing just one new drink, we’ve created a whole range around Peppermint, from the classic pairing of peppermint and chocolate to the Peppermint White Chocolate Matcha”Peppermint has become a real fan favourite in the US and is a flavour that feels instantly festive, so we’re excited to bring that Holiday magic to even more customers this year.

“We wanted to bring something new to the festive season while building on the flavours and traditions customers already know and love. It’s all part of the joy of making those special moments for our customers, with care and creativity going into every handcrafted drink.”
Customers can also upgrade any espresso-based drink, including a latte or Americano, to the Starbucks® Christmas Blend, a carefully crafted seasonal coffee that brings together high-quality Arabica beans for a rich and distinctive cup, with notes of herbs and baking spices and a rich chocolate finish.
