What’s new at Starbucks this holiday season?
The festivities, flavours and traditions of the holiday season are coming to town at Starbucks beginning November 5, bringing something merry for everyone. This year, Starbucks is introducing the new Tiramisu Velvet Latte and Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew and bright Apple Pomegranate Refreshers, alongside returning favourites like Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brûlé Latte and Sugar Cookie Oat Latte.
Holiday Cup Designs + New Holiday Pup Cup
This year’s holiday to-go cup designs blend traditional holiday cues with a modern, unmistakably Starbucks perspective, using ribbon motifs, bows and a palette of Starbucks green and red alongside retro shades of mint, antique gold, cranberry and creamy white. The collection includes festive holiday trees and bows on the hot cups, and a cold cup adorned with evergreen and red bows.
And, for the first time, a limited-edition holiday pup cup will be available at company-operated coffeehouses for a limited time while supplies last.

Seasonal Whole Bean Coffee
Starbucks® Christmas Blend
Starbucks Christmas Blend is one of the most anticipated seasonal coffee blends. Introduced in 1984, when Starbucks only sold whole bean coffee, tea and spices, Christmas Blend quickly became a customer favorite. It showcases Starbucks artistry in roasting and blending with an expert combination of Latin American beans and mellow Indonesian coffees.
Starbucks® Holiday Blend
Starbucks® Holiday Blend combines bright Latin American beans with rich Sumatran coffee, roasted to bring out an elegant complexity of flavor. The result is a full-bodied and vibrant blend that unfolds with layered notes of sweet maple and inviting herbs. This seasonal cup is the perfect complement to winter walks, the glow of a fireplace and the warmth of being together.
It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays at Starbucks! As the season unfolds, more merry merchandise, seasonal sips and cheerful surprises will be unwrapped. And mark your calendars — Red Cup Day is back on Nov. 17! Customers who purchase any handcrafted holiday beverage on Nov. 17 will receive a collectible reusable red cup to celebrate the season in style.
