The CK Daily – Holiday Drinks Are Back!
Happy Thursday!
Today marks the return of Starbucks’ beloved holiday drink lineup! Every year, it seems like the red cups and festive flavors hit the shelves earlier and earlier, sparking both excitement and debate. From the cozy Peppermint Mocha to the indulgent Caramel Brulée Latte, these seasonal sips have become a holiday tradition for many.
But where did this all begin? Starbucks first introduced their holiday drinks back in 1997 with the Eggnog Latte, marking the start of what would become a nationwide craze. Over the years, these drinks have grown in popularity, creating a sense of nostalgia and holiday cheer. There’s even a countdown every fall for when these drinks will be released, and it’s a marker for many that the holiday season has truly begun. To be honest, I’m a big sucker for it. And now days, I love when they share little sneak peaks of what the cup designs are going to be!
Are you a fan of the early release, or do you think it’s just a tad too soon for peppermint everything? And the real debate is…. Starbucks or Dunkin? Either way, the holiday drink buzz is undeniable…cheers to the start of a festive season!
