The Starbucks holiday menu returned to US stores on 5 November, with new coffee and fruit drinks alongside its familiar festive flavours. The launch also brings a fresh set of seasonal cups.

The Tiramisu Velvet Latte comes hot or iced and pairs espresso and vanilla with mascarpone-flavoured cold foam and a cocoa cookie topping. Starbucks uses the same topping in its Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew, with vanilla syrup in the coffee underneath.

The Apple Pomegranate Refresher takes the menu in a fruitier direction, with apple flavour and popping pomegranate-flavoured pearls. The coconut milk version is called the Snowy Apple Drink. A lemonade option is also available.

Returning US drinks include Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte and Gingerbread Chai. A new iced matcha variation uses sugar cookie cream cold foam.

The Australian menu has a different take on the dessert trend. Starbucks Australia has listed gingerbread-flavoured Gingermisu drinks and a Melted Mochi Mallow range through 30 November, while stocks last. From 1 December, its summer lineup adds the Pavlova Drink with coconut milk and meringue foam.
