Well, folks, as of today you can sip a Peppermint Mocha from one of Starbucks' iconic (and sometimes controversial) holiday cups. You know what that means—winter (and the holidays) are coming, whether you're ready or not! Per usual, the coffee chain is ushering us into the next season probably a bit prematurely, but once you see Starbucks' new holiday treats, you'll be ripping down your Halloween decor and ho-ho-hoing your way to your local Starbs.
The new Chocolate Swirl Brioche will be nearly impossible to pass up. Brioche is known for its buttery flavor and tender crumb, according to Starbucks. The treat has layers of dark, fudge-like chocolate filling, with a hint of cinnamon. Starbucks makes it "thoroughly irresistible" by lightly glazing the top with a drizzle of honey syrup.
Pistachio fans, you're going to love this one. The Pistachio Honey Croissant takes the classic, flaky treat and adds rich pistachios and a sweet honey glaze. Starbucks for the win with the sweet and salty!
The new Sugar Plum Cheese Danish sounds sinfully good. This treat is a cream cheese filling (yep, I'm sold), surrounded by a fluffy danish. The cream cheese danish is then topped with spiced sugar plum spread to give it that holiday spark.
Last, but certainly not least, Starbucks is offering a Penguin Cake Pop, and it's seriously adorable. I see a lot of 'grams in this little penguin's future. The cake pop is made with vanilla cake covered in chocolate.
If none of the new additions to the holiday menu interest you, there are plenty of returning favorites, as well. Try the Cranberry Bliss Bar, Gingerbread Loaf, or Iced Snowman Cookie for a sweet treat. Looking for something more savory? The Holiday Turkey Panini and Carved Ham & Swiss Breakfast Sandwich are back, too!
