Starbucks’ holiday menu is here and includes refreshments

It’s starting to look like winter at Starbucks – and that doesn’t just apply to the Christmas-themed cups.

After discontinuing its non-dairy milk markup and eliminating its oleato olive oil-infused drinks, the chain has just launched its holiday menu, available starting November 7th. A number of drinks are returning from years past – like the peppermint mocha – but a brand new cold foam is joining them, as are new and returning holiday treats.

For the first time, Starbucks is expanding its holiday offering to include Refreshers – a trio of cranberry-orange flavored drinks.
