Christmas is obviously the most magical time of the year, but the festive season also means cold temperatures, strong winds and more than likely some showers of rain. How do you combat the cold and stay warm and cosy? With Christmas coffees and other hot drinks of course. If you’re wondering when you can get your hands on Starbucks Christmas menu for 2024, here's what we expect to be in store this year.

Nothing signals the start of the festive season more than Starbucks’ smooth transition from pumpkin-spiced latte (to which we must wave, sadly, goodbye) to hot drinks flavoured with cinnamon, gingerbread and eggnog. There is a strong collection of limited-edition lattes to choose from this year including a brand new gingerbread number. Ah, the thrill! But don’t panic, because plenty of the stores' signature lattes are still available to buy this season so you don’t have to miss out on your favourite festive pick-me-up.

If coffee isn’t really your thing, then stay tuned for Starbucks’ range of indulgent hot chocolates designed to warm your cockles and line your arteries – yes, they’re fabulously rich and worth every sip. Topped with whipped cream and a selection of dreamy sauces and sprinkles, you might want to leave a bit of extra room for one of the chocolatey hot drinks.

Finally, the news you've really been waiting for: are Starbucks' famous red cups returning for another year of festive fun? They sure are, with a brand new set of joyful, festive designs. This year's theme is 'Share the Joy' - not sure what we're talking about? Keep on scrolling.
