Inspiration for a Starbucks holiday beverage can come from anywhere – a forkful of rich red velvet cake, the crunchy caramelized top of a dish of creme brulée, or the delicious layers of crust and custard in a French mille-feuille pastry.

“Starbucks holiday menu is designed to reflect the traditions and preferences of the communities we serve around the world,” said Brady Brewer, chief executive officer, Starbucks International. “By localizing our menu, we celebrate our customers’ tastes with global holiday traditions reimagined with a local twist.”

Here are some of delicious drinks found on Starbucks holiday menus around the world – from the rich red Strawberry & Joyful Medley Tea in Japan to the Cranberry White Mocha in Latin American and the Caribbean and more.
