Starbucks brings back red cups with holiday beverages
Starbucks brought back its seasonal espresso beverages in its red holiday cups to stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Holiday beverages such as the Chestnut Praline Latte, Gingerbread Latte, Eggnog Latte and Peppermint Mocha will be available nationwide throughout the United States and Canada this year. New holiday beverages, along with the full lineup of packaged coffees and merchandise, will arrive when Starbucks stores “turn red” in the United States on November 10 and Canada on November 2.
“Holiday beverages have been a highly anticipated tradition at Starbucks since Christmas Blend was introduced in 1984,” said Cliff Burrows, who leads Starbucks business in the United States and Americas.
“We are honored to be a part of our customers’ yearly holiday traditions, and every year we look forward to bringing back favorite holiday beverages that evoke the spirit of the season.”
In addition to the Starbucks hot signature holiday drinks, all seasonal beverages are available iced or as a Frappuccino blended beverage. For the first time nationwide, these cold beverages also have their own festive holiday cup with a snowflake design.
