And Just Like That, Starbucks is welcoming a new season way before it’s due – but in true PSL fashion, it seems to be what they do best! Rumors surrounding the Starbucks winter menu speculate that the chain's Gingerbread and Sugar Cookie beverages will make their grand return on November 2, along with a handful of other beloved flavors. We’ve also got the tea (or rather, coffee) on a few new food and bakery items, as well as when Red Cup Day is rolling around. Read on for everything we know about Starbucks’ winter menu!
The Rumored Starbucks Winter Menu
It wouldn’t be a Starbucks menu leak without the help of our treasured pal, @markie_devo. The 98K-follower foodie account first posted the rumored menu on September 20, sparking mass amounts of excitement. Since then, they've posted an updated (yet still rumored) Starbucks winter menu that includes even more menu items.
According to the rumors, the returning drinks are: the Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte (the tasty one with the sprinkles!), the Caramel Brûlée Latte, the nutty Chestnut Praline Latte, and of course, Peppermint Mocha. Each drink will be available iced or hot for your drinking pleasure.
One *brand new* sip will allegedly join the winter menu mix, too: the Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, also available to order iced or hot.
We're also super stoked about these rumors because they introduce some possible new cold foams! The Starbucks winter menu will reportedly include Holiday Cold Foams like Peppermint Chocolate, Sugar Cookie, Caramel Brûlée, and Chestnut Praline. It could be so fun to mix and match these cold foams with the holiday drinks.
Holiday news aside, die-hard Starbucks fans are simply elated to hear the rumors about Gingerbread.
“OH MY GOD THE WAR ON GINGERBREAD IS OVER 😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌,” one user commented. “Not me almost crashing my car upon reading this 😂,” another wrote. Same TBH.
The Gingerbread Latte was a longtime winter menu favorite until it was seen and never returned back in 2020. Though the Gingerbread Latte is secretly listed on Starbucks’ website, it really hasn’t made a public appearance… until now. We don't quite know if the Gingerbread syrup is fully back yet, though.
Starbucks Winter Menu Food Items
So, what else is on the Starbucks winter menu? According to the leak, some familiar bakery items are coming back: the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, Gingerbread Loaf, Cranberry Bliss Bar, and of course, you can’t forget the adorable frosted Snowman Cookie. The newest addition is a Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop, which sounds super heavenly!
Starbucks Winter Menu Includes Red Cup Day
The rumors about Starbucks' winter menu also pencils Red Cup Day in for November 16. Red Cup Day typically falls on the third Thursday in November every year, and many customers like to celebrate it like it’s its own holiday! On Red Cup Day, you can order one of Starbucks’ seasonal drinks and earn a free red hot beverage cup for future drink orders.
Before you get too excited about free stuff and all things dealing with Starbucks’ winter menu, make sure to relish in pumpkin spice season a little bit longer with the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, and more.
