• Holiday Bearista merchandise follows last year’s customer frenzy over the collectible cold cup

Starbucks’ merry holiday menu is just around the corner.

The company announced on Monday, Oct. 5, that its festive lineup will land in coffeehouses in exactly one month.

Launching on Nov. 5, the offerings include returning favorites, such as the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte and Gingerbread Chai.

Newcomers include a dessert-inspired Tiramisu Velvet lineup and an Apple Pomegranate Refresher, alongside treats and limited-time merchandise.

The Tiramisu Velvet Latte (which can be ordered hot or iced) and Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew are both finished with velvet mascarpone cold foam and cocoa and coffee dusting.

The Apple Pomegranate Refresher is “a bright and refreshing pick-me-up,” per the brand, with apple flavors and pomegranate-flavored pearls. A creamier Snowy Apple version adds coconut milk to the concoction.

Edible treats include a new limited-time cake pop inspired by the Bearista Cold Cup, which sparked a frenzy among customers during last year’s holiday merchandise drop. The Cranberry Bliss Bar, Snowman Cookie and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish will make a return.

And two savory, warm sandwiches will debut: the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese and the Turkey & Stuffing, with a fresh recipe. 

As for merch, a Holiday Bearista collection features drinkware, a plush keychain and other accessories. 

A Holiday Village collection “celebrates Starbucks Seattle roots” with collectibles paying tribute to the original Pike Place store. A Peppermint Mocha collection features retro-meets-modern cold cups, tumblers and espresso cups. And a Winter Wonderland collection, available Nov. 17, has drinkware with “whimsical details and wintry textures.”

Starbucks will reveal the date for this year’s Red Cup Day at a later time.

The coffee giant’s other recent releases include the air-whipped Aerocano drink and a trio of autumn mini pies: Apple Crumble, Pecan and Pumpkin.

In September, Starbucks revealed a duo of character-inspired secret menu drinks along with a lineup of 10 collectible items celebrating the 60th anniversary of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

The brand also announced that a limited-time Black Cat Frappuccino will hit select coffeehouses in the U.S. on Oct. 22, with a matching black cookie.
