Stop what you’re doing, as the Starbucks Christmas menu is officially here, and we are fully ready for a festive feast.
Launching today (7th November) in Starbucks stores, you can now tuck into all manner of sweet treats, three new Christmas beverages and Boxing Day-worthy sandwiches. Autumn? We don’t know her. We’re now all about the season’s greetings and here’s what Starbucks are offering for 2024.
First up are the three new beverages, which includes a Gingerbread Cream Iced Chai Tea Latte, which is black tea infused with cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper and star anise, combined with milk which is then finished with a smooth gingerbread flavour cream cold foam.
And if you’re a caramel fan you will love the Caramel Waffle Cream Iced Latte which features the brand’s signature espresso, combined with caramel waffle flavour syrup and milk, topped with a silky-smooth caramel waffle flavour cream cold foam and a dusting of caramel waffle topping.
If coffee isn’t your vibe, but you want a festive beverage to get into, then you need to try the Winter Spiced Apple Tea, full of warming cinnamon and apple flavours.
And fans will be pleased to know many of our festive favourite drinks are returning including the Toffee Nut Latte, Caramel Waffle Latte, Gingerbread Latte, Eggnog Latte, and the Fudge Brownie Hot Chocolate. All of these drinks will be available to get in those signature Starbucks red cups, so it now really feels like Christmas.

When it comes to the food side of the menu, we’re getting ready to give our lunchtimes a seriously yuletide makeover. Newly improved for 2024 is the Pigs Under Blanket Panini, which features our favourite part of the Christmas dinner, the pigs in blankets along with a layer of caramelised onion and mustard, and Cheddar cheese in a rustic ciabatta.
New for this year is the Tis the Season Sandwich which features classic Christmas flavours of chicken breast, mayonnaise, cranberry chutney, smoked bacon, sage & onion stuffing, and spinach in soft malted bread. You can also expect to see the Festive Feast Panini back on the menu this year.
To finish your meal off with a sweet treat, this Christmas you’ll want to try the new Polar Bear Cake Pop and the returning classics including the Caramel Waffle Muffin, the Red Velvet Marble Loaf Cake, Christmas Tree Brownie, and the Santa Starbucks Bearista Gingerbread Cookie, which is (almost) too adorable to eat.
If only Christmas could last all year round.
The new festive menu is available in Starbucks stores and on the Starbucks app now.
