On Oct. 22, Starbucks welcomes spooky season as the new Black Cat Frappuccino® blended beverage and Venti Black Night Cookie join the menu for a limited time, available through Halloween in select U.S. coffeehouses.

To celebrate the occasion, Starbucks enlisted an expert in black cats, mischief and treating himself: Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch , who’s coming out of retirement to help launch the beverage, as the opinionated feline knows a thing or two about an indulgent treat.

And Salem has plenty more to say. Stay tuned to Starbucks social channels for more from the famously opinionated feline. In the meantime, there are a couple of indulgent Halloween treats worthy of his approval.

The Black Cat Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is a purr-fect Halloween treat, combining a rich cocoa flavor with a Creme Frappuccino® beverage to create decadent brownie-like notes, topped with whipped cream and chocolatey cat ears. The festive beverage is available exclusively in a grande size at participating coffeehouses. The Venti Black Night Cookie is an indulgent, shareable treat made with decadent dark chocolate cookie dough, packed with caramel fudge pieces and chunks of caramelized white chocolate, delivering soft, chewy bites.

Fans can enjoy more of Salem, owned by Archie Comics, by streaming full seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.
