Starbucks Reveals Christmas 2017 Menu Of Drinks And An All-New Festive Cup You Can Color In

People go mad for the traditional red Starbucks Christmas cup.

No, really.

And there’s been much excitement about what festive drinks the coffee and hot drink retailer might offer this year.

Now they’ve finally unveiled the range – but it’s what they’re going to be served in that’s going to be the talking point.

As well as a new cold drink, the marketing gurus at Starbucks have launched its first-ever colour-in Christmas cup, encouraging customers to add their own splash of colour and style to their drink.

The hand-drawn cup features a pair of hands holding red cups of coffee connected by swirling ribbons with lively Christmas scenes and splashes of red and green.

The Christmas range of drinks includes returning favourites – the Gingerbread Latte, Toffee Nut Latte, Eggnog Latte and Fudge Hot Chocolate.

Brand new to Starbucks festive drinks line-up this year is Festive Cold Brew, combining a classic cold brew blend with subtle Christmas-spiced notes and finished with orange and cranberry pieces.
