Starbucks holiday drinks are officially back in Canada for the festive season, and this year is bringing along new sips, treats, and holiday cups, all alongside the return of some fan-favourite beverages.
To kick off the holidays, Starbucks announced that it would be rolling out its menu full of new and returning holiday drinks (including, for the first time, a holiday pup cup). These festive sips offer a variety of different flavour profiles, ranging from classic tiramisu to the pepperminty taste of the holidays.
We’ve rounded up some of our favourite holiday drinks this season, both new and returning, for some more insight into these seasonal delights. Without further ado, let’s jump into some of our top-pick sips from Starbucks’ holiday lineup.
Our favourite Starbucks holiday drinks for 2026
Iced Caramel Brûlé Cream Chai
As self-proclaimed chai lovers, we’re happy to see another chai beverage make its way onto the holiday menu, alongside the Iced Gingerbread Cream Chai.
This drink combines creamy chai with rich caramel brûlé sauce bits, mixed together for a cozy, rich beverage perfect for the holidays. If you’re looking for something caramelly and sweet, this is definitely a menu item to consider.
Tiramisu Velvet Latte
Although we’re big fans of all things chilled, this new Tiramisu Velvet Latte is a steamy cup of holiday goodness (which can also be ordered iced for those who still prefer it cold).
According to Starbucks, this drink features Starbucks Signature Espresso, milk, and vanilla syrup, all topped with the shop’s Velvet Mascarpone Cold Foam, cocoa, and coffee-flavoured dusting. If you want a little bit more of a caffeinated kick, there’s also the new Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew.
Apple Pomegranate Refresher
The Apple Pomegranate Refresher is a crisp apple-flavoured drink with fun popping pomegranate-flavoured pearls. Its Snowy Apple counterpart (made with coconut beverage) is equally delicious.
Peppermint Mocha
Starbucks considers this one of its “longtime holiday favourite” drinks, providing the perfect warmth for those chilly winter days coming up. Whether you get this one hot, iced, or blended into a Frappuccino beverage, the Peppermint Mocha is equally festive no matter what form you drink it in.
We’d definitely suggest giving the Starbucks holiday drinks a try to find your own perfect festive beverage. They will only be available for a limited time, so visit while you can!
