"This may be a controversial opinion, but I could take or leave most of the Starbucks fall drinks. The classic Pumpkin Spice Latte is always a pass for me (there are better fall flavors out there, IMO), and I might grab a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew once a season just for old times’ sake, but I don’t get too excited as the fall menu comes and goes. Once Starbucks debuts its holiday menu, however, that’s when you’ll find me standing in line for my very own festive holiday cup. Part of my excitement stems from the fact that the holiday season is by far my favorite time of year (blame it on my December birthday), but it’s also the nostalgia of it all. I always relish the annual tradition of grabbing a Starbucks holiday drink before heading out for a day of Christmas shopping with my mom and sister.
So when I heard that the Starbucks holiday menu just leaked online (along with a rumored release date), I did some sleuthing of my own to find out all the info I could. Here’s what we know so far about the 2024 Starbucks holiday drinks, including all the new menu items expected this year.
Everything on the Leaked Starbucks Holiday Menu 2024
According to an info leak posted by Instagram user @Markie_Devo, the Starbucks holiday menu is expected to drop on Thursday, November 7. The rumored menu includes returning classics like the Caramel Brûlée Latte (my personal favorite), Chestnut Praline Latte, Peppermint Mocha, and Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte, along with a few new creations. Namely, there’s a new Salted Pecan Cold Brew expected to launch this year, which likely tastes similar to the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte that debuted this fall. For non-coffee-drinkers, the new Cran-Merry Orange Refresher—which combines cranberry and orange flavors with warm spices—offers a caffeine-free option that still sounds very festive.
Also new this year, you can order any of the classic holiday flavors (like chestnut praline, gingerbread, or sugar cookie) as cold foam to top any iced beverage. So if you prefer to DIY a secret-menu concoction instead of ordering one of their signature drinks, you’re in luck.

On the food side of the menu, you’ll of course find classic treats like the Cranberry Bliss Bar and the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish. New this year is a Dark Toffee Bundt, which is topped with festive holiday sprinkles. For something savory, there’s also a new Turkey Sage Danish that features turkey sausage and a creamy béchamel sauce wrapped in pastry. And if you’re feeling extra festive, you can order an adorable Snowman Cake Pop or Penguin Cookie to go along with your Peppermint Mocha.

- Dark Toffee Bundt
- Penguin Cookie
- Snowman Cake Pop

I should note that Starbucks has yet to confirm the holiday menu items or release date. However, I’m inclined to trust the source, based on the accuracy of the leaked fall drinks info also shared by @Markie_Devo. So sip your PSLs while you can (if that’s your thing) because, once November 7 hits, the holidays will have officially arrived at Starbucks.
