Starbucks Launches 2026 Holiday Menu With Tiramisu Drinks

Starbucks has introduced its 2026 holiday menu across participating coffeehouses, bringing new tiramisu-inspired beverages, colorful fruit refreshers, seasonal food, and festive merchandise to customers beginning November 5. The launch combines returning holiday favorites with limited-time products and new drinkware collections.

The beverage lineup features three new offerings: the Tiramisu Velvet Latte, Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew, and Apple Pomegranate Refresher. Customers can also order returning seasonal drinks, including Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte, and Gingerbread Chai.

According to Yahoo, Starbucks describes its new refresher as featuring "crisp apple flavors and popping pomegranate-flavored pearls." The drink is also available as a Snowy Apple variation made with coconut milk.

The Tiramisu Velvet Latte comes in hot and iced versions, while the cold brew provides another option for customers who prefer chilled coffee. Both feature velvet mascarpone cold foam with cocoa and coffee toppings.

A Tasting Table review published November 5 found the iced latte relatively balanced despite its sweetness. The reviewer also preferred its combination of espresso and milk to the more coffee-forward cold brew. A grande iced latte cost $6.95 at the Central Florida location visited.

The Apple Pomegranate Refresher comes in three versions: the standard drink, a coconut milk-based Snowy Apple variation, and a lemonade version. The reviewer found the original particularly tart, while the coconut milk softened the apple flavor and the lemonade largely overshadowed the other ingredients. Each grande version cost $6.95 in the review.

Another seasonal combination is the Iced Caramel Brulée Cream Chai, which combines an iced chai latte with Classic Syrup, Caramel Brulée Cream Cold Foam, and caramel brulée topping. The combination brings together chai spices and caramel sweetness using existing seasonal ingredients.

Starbucks is also introducing holiday food items, including the Bearista Cake Pop and Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese. The Turkey & Stuffing Sandwich returns with a revised recipe, while the Cranberry Bliss Bar, Snowman Cookie, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish are back for the season.

The company's holiday cup designs draw inspiration from a "classic holiday movie," according to a Starbucks statement cited by TODAY.com. A company spokesperson identified the inspiration as "Home Alone," with the collection featuring ribbons, bows, twine garlands, and decorative stars.

The designs combine traditional Starbucks green, red, and white with pale mint green, antique gold, and deep cranberry. Holiday Tree cups feature Christmas tree decorations in red and white variations, while Holiday Bow designs incorporate ribbons and twinkling stars. Matching seasonal cold cups and paper packaging are also included.

Starbucks will distribute its first seasonal Holiday Pup Cup this year. The 3.5-ounce cup features a cartoon dog inspired by Junie, a real-life beagle, and will be available for a limited time at company-operated coffeehouses while supplies last.

Additional merchandise launches include a holiday tree glass cold cup and Bearista-themed accessories starting November 5. A mystery-box collection containing surprise festive character glass cold cups arrives November 10.

Red Cup Day is scheduled for November 17. Customers purchasing qualifying handcrafted holiday beverages at participating locations can receive a limited-edition reusable holiday cup while supplies last. The Winter Wonderland drinkware collection, featuring icy blue and white designs, also arrives that day.

The original Bearista Glass Cold Cup returns December 1 at selected coffeehouses. The bear-shaped tumbler features a green beanie-style lid and striped straw, following strong demand for the design during the previous holiday season.
