Starbucks Brings Back 5 Favorite Holiday Drinks
Starbucks has released its 2020 holiday drinks menu!
This holiday season marks the 23rd year that Starbucks has been warming us up with seasonal drinks from its beloved holiday menu. The 2020 holiday menu is now LIVE, which means you can enjoy all the flavors of the season at Starbucks stores nationwide!
In addition to seasonal favorites like Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Eggnog Latte, you’ll find new holiday cups, food items, and gifts available at Starbucks cafés too.
There’s one notable exception from Starbucks’ 2020 holiday menu…
Run, run as fast as you can… but you’ll have to run all the way to Canada to catch the Gingerbread Latte this year! 😧Starbucks confirmed in a tweet that for the second year in a row, this popular holiday flavor will not be available on holiday menus in the US.
If you don’t live in Canada (where the drink will appear on the Holiday Menu), you can always console yourself with a Cinnamon Dolce Latte, which is said to share a similar flavor profile. Or you could just head on over to Dunkin’, where the Gingerbread Latte earned a spot on the holiday menu this year.
Starbucks’ seasonal food favorites are here for a limited time too, and this year the holiday menu will offer treats including the Cranberry Orange Scone, the Cranberry Bliss Bar, the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, the Snowman Cookie, and the Snowman Cake Pop.

Hack into the Starbucks Secret Menu with these yummy drink orders!
Any word on gingerbread loaf coming back this year? My favorite and it was sooo limited last year.
Does Lina have a copycat gingerbread latte recipe for those of us that feel like this news is coal in our stockings?
The gingerbread latte was my favorite of the bunch. Boo. 😞
So bummed about the gingerbread latte. Guess I’ll be going to Dunkin since it’s on their menu!
Hey Hi Holly Here, I still miss smoked butterscotch!🙁 that was amazing once upon a time.
I love peppermint mochas, but it means PSL is going away for a whole year which is a bummer. Ha ha.
Any baristas know how to make these drinks less sugary? (besides less pumps of syrup) Kinda bummed they got rid of the skinny versions years ago
Yes, being a diabetic who indulges with SB once in awhile, I am disappointed that they no longer have sugar free mocha syrup. Did not get to enjoy as many salted caramel mocha’s this year, since only Sugar free option was vanilla syrup.
Or come on over to Japan. We have the gingerbread lattes here this year!
Been missing the Chestnut Praline Latte. So delighted to have some more of those this year.
