It’s the season of joy at Starbucks, and the holiday menu is back starting Nov. 2 at Starbucks stores in the United States. The new bright and beautiful Starbucks holiday cups are filled with festive flavors to explore, like the new Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, and returning seasonal favorites including Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte and Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte. Starbucks stores that serve Starbucks Oleato™ beverages will also offer the new Oleato™ Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte, the first Oleato holiday beverage. 

Holiday pastries and treats are also back, including the Cranberry Bliss® Bar, Gingerbread Loaf, Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.
