Holiday rituals
Whether you’re sledding, on a walk to take in the twinkling lights, listening to music or spending quality time with family and friends, Starbucks holiday beverages pair perfectly with so many traditions and activities. What do the holidays taste like to you?
I love Iced Sugar Cookie with Sugar Cookie Cold Foam — there’s something about the sprinkles I love, and it’s like, ‘Yes! The holidays are here.’
Teri
Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai always takes me back to family and getting together at the holidays to make and eat traditional food together.
Maria
My favorite holiday tradition is going sledding and then going downtown to look at the gingerbread houses with my mom. And we always get coffee — she likes a decaf Espresso Con Panna and I like to do a Doppio Espresso.
Christopher
This holiday, I’m most looking forward to holding my Gingerbread Chai Latte and walking around our town center supporting our local businesses.
Julie
My family does Christmas crackers every year, with the little prizes. And I like to curl up by a fireplace, read a good book and drink a Chestnut Praline Latte.
Skylar
My favorite holiday tradition is going to the Christmas Market and walking around with peppermint mochas. It’s fun, it’s festive — it’s grown-up hot chocolate!
Jennifer

A viral sensation
