It’s finally here! The Starbucks Christmas drinks have been released. Some may say that it’s way too early, but it’s never too early to spread the joy of Christmas. I’m back again to review these new items, which include the iced gingerbread chai, the cranberry-orange lemonade refresher, the peppermint mocha, and the sugar cookie latte.
Gingerbread chai
The gingerbread chai is not like the traditional chai, and it has a whole different flavor palette. With this drink, you can taste the hint of ginger in the chai and in the cold foam, which adds to the winter feel. The oat milk in this drink makes it very creamy and not as heavy, which makes this drink better overall. This drink goes for $6.25 and has 375 calories. I would rate this drink ⅘ stars and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys chai.

Peppermint Mocha
The peppermint mocha has a good balance of sweetness and dark chocolate. Additionally, the peppermint makes this drink give off Christmas vibes. I do think that this drink is a little heavy, probably because it has 440 calories and 54 grams of sugar. This drink does go for $6.25, which is pretty average for a Starbucks drink nowadays. I would rate this drink ⅗ stars.
Sugar cookie almond milk latte
Last but not least, my favorite drink of all. The sugar cookie almond milk latte. This drink has 150 calories and goes for $6.45, but it is definitely worth the calories and price. This coffee is a perfect sweet treat. I have been getting this drink for three years now and one thing that I recommend doing is substituting the almond milk for oat milk because it is a gamechanger. Overall, I would rate this drink 5/5 stars.
We hope these drinks will bring you holiday cheer! Happy Holidays!
XOXO, Jess ❤️❤️
