Starbucks has officially ushered in the festive season across the UK, launching its much-anticipated holiday menu for 2025.
Festive Drinks and New Food Items
The coffee giant debuted its seasonal offering on Thursday, 6 November 2025, bringing back a host of customer favourites. The returning beverage lineup includes the classic Peppermint Mocha, the Caramel Brulée Latte, and the popular iced options: the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte and the Iced Gingerbread Chai. Two more classics, the Chestnut Praline Latte and the Eggnog Latte, are scheduled to join the menu later in the holiday period.
This year's food selection also sees exciting additions. Customers can enjoy the new Polar Bear Cake Pop and the warm, shareable Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. They join the returning Snowman Cookie, ensuring there's a festive treat for every taste.
The Iconic Red Cup and Company Context
A hallmark of the Starbucks holiday experience, the annual red cup promotion, will also make a comeback later in the season. This initiative provides customers with a special reusable cup when they purchase any holiday menu drink.
This festive announcement comes shortly after Starbucks introduced new Protein Lattes and Cold Foam Drinks to its permanent menu. The launch also occurs against the backdrop of a wider company restructuring plan, which involves store closures and the elimination of some corporate roles.
