What drinks are on the Costa Christmas menu 2024?
Let’s face it, we're all dying to know which drinks Costa have introduced to rival Starbucks’ pumpkin-spiced latte. Last year, it offered a selection of old and new hot chocolates and coffees, many of which were inspired by nougat-filled chocolate bar favourite Toblerone.
Last year it launched an all-new Toblerone Latte as part of its festive drinks menu. Punters who prefer their coffee on the sweet side loved the addition of a chocolate and honey-flavoured sauce – inspired by the iconic flavour of Toblerone. Everyone who ordered one was also treated to a mini Toblerone bar to enjoy on the side.
