33 Starbucks holiday drinks to try — from Hot Cocoa Cold Brew to an Olaf Frappuccino

Ready to sip on something special this season from Starbucks? The Starbucks holiday menu is back for another year!

Starbucks holiday drinks like the new Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai and returning Peppermint Mocha, Chestnut Praline Latte and Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte top the list for menu favorites, but Starbucks’ secret menu is also bursting with holiday fun.

From “Grinch” drinks celebrating Whoville’s most sinister seasonal snatcher to more festive sips inspired by Santa himself, there are tasty treats for everyone’s favored flavor profiles.

A quick note worth mentioning: None of the items on the secret menu are officially on the Starbucks menu (that would defeat their “secret” status, wouldn’t it?). They need to be ordered exactly as directed or baristas may be unfamiliar and unable to make your drink.

Instagram user “Starbies Drink Ideas" recommends, “Please BE KIND to your Baristas and remember since these aren’t on the menu they may take more time” And don’t forget to tip accordingly!
