Starbucks Holiday Menu, Cup Hits CNY

Coffee lovers rejoice-the Starbucks holiday menu and cup are officially here.

On Thursday, November 7, 2019, the Starbucks holiday menu debuted across the country and in CNY. With the holiday menu, of course, comes the famous holiday cup. The cup and menu are usually available through the end of December.

According to USA Today, the 2019 holiday flavors are Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Eggnog Latte. You can get the holiday flavors hot or iced, or even blended up in a Frappuccino. There are three different cup designs this year. The designs include one with a red background with green polka dots, one with a white background and "Merry Coffee" printed all over, a cup with a white and red striped cup that says "Starbucks" all over, and a green striped cup. Sadly, only hot drinks come in the holiday cup.

Repeating a promotion from last year, Starbucks gave away free reusable cups throughout the U.S. and Hudson Valley on Thursday, November 7 with purchases of holiday menu items. Last year, the cups were gone within hours. This year, there has been reports of extreme wait times to get a drink, and a cup.
