Check Out Starbucks’ New Holiday Drink, Tumblers, Mugs And More!
Starbucks just announced their Christmas beverages, food, and merchandise! Here are all the things you can look forward to for the holidays.
Starbucks Christmas beverages + food!
This year, Starbucks will be bringing back their classic festive Peppermint Mocha and Toffee Nut Crunch Latte but with the addition of the new Wishing Star Dark Mocha (P175/tall; P190/grande; P205/venti). This new drink is somewhat an upgraded, more festive take on the frozen hot chocolate with marshmallows. It has a rich, dark chocolate mocha with a green tea-flavored whipped cream, and topped with yellow and red wishing star-shaped crisps.Â
Of course, there are new desserts on the menu, too. Expect to find three cakes: Belgian Chocolate Cake (P200/slice; P1,800/whole), a chocolate sponge cake with Belgian chocolate mousse; White Chocolate Dream Cake (P200/slice; P1,800/whole), a three-layer cake made with chocolate chip cookie cake, moist butter cake, and a layer of creamy Speculoos mousse finished off with a white chocolate cream icing; Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake; and the Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake (P200/slice; P1,800/whole) which is a cinnamon-y cheesecake topped with cream cheese frosting and cinnamon powder.
For merienda, they have new pastries, like the Blue Velvet Lamington (P85), Beef Pot Pie (P120), Roasted Chicken and Turkey on Pulgia Bread (P175), Holiday Ham, Egg White and Parmesan on Croissant bread (P175), Tomato Mozzarella Panzerotti (P85), Cookies & Cream Doughnut (P75), Pistachio Crunch Doughnut (P75), Raisin Pistachio Chocolate Bar (P145), and the Cookies and Cream Chocolate Bar (P145).
Starbucks Christmas merchandise
There are tons of Starbucks Christmas merch to choose that you have enough choices to gift each of your friends a different design. The Merry Little Holiday Party merchandise gives off a very strong Winter Wonderland vibe! It features woodland and holiday motifs covered in white snow. The collection includes insulated and reusable tumblers, ceramic mugs, lunch boxes, French press, Christmas ornaments, ring holders, and, even a snowball.
They debuted the first-ever holiday-themed Relief Mug featuring icons, like the jeepney and mango trees, and landmarks in the Philippines, like Mount Mayon in Bicol and the Paoay sand dunes from Ilocos Norte. Another new Philippine-exclusive Starbucks merch is the Manila & Cebu You Are Here Mugs that feature celebrated icons and landmarks that are specific to Manila and Cebu in silver decal and mahogany red.
In line with Starbucks' initiative to reduce plastic usage, they also released new reusable cups for cold and hot beverages but with a more festive look! While the new Maligayang Pasko Card, which can be purchased with an initial activation amount of P300, is the very first Starbucks card made with paper.
