Starbucks typically kicks off its Christmas or holiday drinks in early November, with 2025 schedules showing a nationwide rollout around November 6, and some exclusive access for Rewards members starting a few days earlier in late October. The exact lineup often includes favorites like Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brûlée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, and Iced Gingerbread variants, along with a few new seasonal items each year. Key points to know for 2025:
- Release window: Early November, commonly the first Thursday in November for full nationwide availability; some markets or programs may offer earlier access for members.
- Typical beverages: Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brûlée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, Iced Gingerbread Chai, and occasional new seasonal drinks (e.g., Chocolatey Mousse Latte or similar innovations reported in various outlets).
- Availability: Seasonal drinks are usually offered through the holiday season and often retire in early January, though exact dates can vary by region.
