Starbucks launches festive menu with red cups and holiday cold cup

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 17:13 · Archive

Starbucks UK is bringing back its red cups from 5 November alongside a new Holiday Cold Cup and peppermint-flavoured drinks.

Starbucks UK has unveiled its 2026 Christmas menu, featuring the return of its iconic red cups from 5 November and launching its first-ever Holiday Cold Cup. The cold cup option targets customers who prefer iced coffees and Frappuccino blended drinks to hot beverages, extending the festive offering beyond traditional hot lattes.

Peppermint takes centre stage in this year's menu, with four new creations joining the seasonal line-up. These include a Peppermint Mocha topped with crunchy peppermint sugar sprinkles and a chilled matcha creation finished with white chocolate cold foam. The peppermint range was inspired by the flavour's popularity in the United States.

Starbucks is also bringing back established seasonal favourites including the Gingerbread Latte, Toffee Nut Latte and Eggnog Latte. Festive food items available from the same date include Sticky Toffee Pecan Cake, Chocolate Orange Cake Cube, Red Velvet Scroll, Christmas Tree Brownie and Reindeer Cake Pops. The red cups will be available across participating UK stores.
