On November 6th, Starbucks released its 2025 holiday menu. The menu consisted of a mix of last year’s items and new additions. Alongside the holiday menu, Starbucks released a new Bearista coffee cup that quickly went viral, prompting customers to line up as early as 3 a.m.
The holiday menu features many delicious beverages, including the peppermint mocha, caramel brulee latte, iced sugar cookie latte, and the new gingerbread chai latte. The new gingerbread chai latte is a combination of chai spices, black tea, milk of the customer’s choice, and gingerbread flavored cold foam with a sprinkle of spice topping. The drink is a sweet and spicy choice, which can be made iced or hot.
In addition to the drinks, the menu also has food options. This includes the snowman cookie, the cranberry bliss bar, the sugar plum cheese danish, the new cinnamon pull-apart bread, and the polar bear cake pop.
On December 2nd, Starbucks is releasing its second holiday menu, which will include eggnog cold foam, eggnog latte, and chestnut praline latte.
Sophomore Chloe Annicharico shared her favorite item on the holiday menu: “My favorite item is the iced sugar cookie latte.”
Along with the food and drink release, they also released new merchandise, including the Bearista coffee cup. The cup is a 20 ounce glass cup, made for cold drinks. The cup costs $30, and is available only in stores. Customers went crazy for this cup, since there was only a limited supply.
An article by Fox 5 NY explained just how eager fans were to get their hands on the Bearista cup: “Starbucks fans are going to extreme lengths, camping out overnight, flooding stores with calls, and even bringing pepper spray, to get the sold-out Bearista cup.” Fans were lined up outside of Starbucks locations at 3 a.m., waiting for Starbucks to open, in an attempt to get one of these limited Bearista cups.
With food, drinks, and merchandise, fans were extremely happy with the new items that Starbucks has to offer this holiday season.
