Starbucks’ Holiday Menu Just Leaked Online — and It Includes a Brand-New Seasonal Refresher

We’ll take one Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew, please.

The holiday season seems to creep up when you least expect it, especially if you’re just now enjoying your first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. Starbucks’ holiday menu just leaked online, and in it is an extended lineup of seven seasonal cold foams to sip, slurp, and customize to your heart’s content — plus, new sweet and savory desserts to pair. 

Food blogger Markie Devo took to Instagram last week to share leaked details on the holiday lineup, which includes eight rumored new and returning drinks. He claims the holiday menu is slated to drop on November 7, which falls in line with the brand’s November 1 release last year. In the post, the leaked menu whisperer says he received details from an unnamed Starbucks employee — and based on @Markie_Devo’s consistent predictions of previous seasonal menus, we’d say his info could carry some weight.

The speculated menu is as follows: Longtime alum Peppermint Mocha is making a welcome return for its 22nd season (arriving both hot and iced), accompanied by new-kid-on-the-block Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, which first landed on menus last year. We’re also looking forward to the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brûlée Latte, Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte, and Chestnut Praline Latte. Last but not least, you can (hopefully) look forward to a first taste of the brand-new Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew, a sweet, cold-foam-topped coffee sprinkled with crunchy bits of pecan. Six pillowy cold foams are also rumored to return, including the Peppermint Chocolate, Sugar Cookie, Chestnut Praline, Gingerbread, Caramel Brûlée, and Salted Pecan. In a citrusy twist on standard holiday fare, you might also expect the first-ever Cran-Merry Orange Refresher. 

Looking for a snack pairing? The fan-favorite Sugar Plum Cheese Danish and Cranberry Bliss Bar are reportedly returning to stores, while a sugary-sweet Snowman Cake Pop, Penguin Cookie, and Dark Toffee Bundt Cake could debut for the first time this season. On the savory side, the chain is reportedly adding a brand-new Turkey Sage Danish to holiday menus. 

In the comments, users were quick to point out the apparent lack of Peppermint Cake Pops and Eggnog Lattes from holiday menus past. (We’d also call attention to the once-beloved Gingerbread Loaf, which sadly seems to be missing, too.) We wouldn’t count this as an immediate cause for alarm, though. There’s still plenty of time for Starbucks to add those beloved items to the confirmed menu. Food & Wine reached out to Starbucks to confirm the seasonal launch, but a company spokesperson for the coffee giant says it isn't yet ready to reveal all the merry details. 

A bit too sweet for you? New merch might also be in the cards for the coffee giant, including a line of surprise water bottle accessories. We hear rumors of these six new silicone straw toppers, which fit perfectly with our collection of Starbucks x Stanley Quenchers. What better way to get into the holiday spirit?
