Starbucks is ringing in the holiday season with a fresh lineup of beverages and treats hitting stores nationwide on Thursday, Nov. 7.

For the first time ever, the coffee giant is introducing a holiday Refresher drink: the Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, available in three variations. Combining orange, cranberry, and warm spices, the new offering can be enjoyed as the original Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, a Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher (with lemonade instead of water), or the Cran-Merry Drink, which swaps in coconut milk for a creamy, tropical touch.

Classic holiday drinks like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, and Chestnut Praline Latte will also make their seasonal return. Starbucks is adding a twist this year with peppermint chocolate cold foam, as well as new gingerbread and salted pecan cold foams available for customizing your favorite drink.

For foodies, festive snacks such as the fan-favorite Sugar Plum Cheese Danish and Cranberry Bliss Bars are returning alongside new items. Highlights include the Dark Toffee Bundt, Penguin Cookie, and Snowman Cake Pop. Savory fans can enjoy the Turkey Sage Danish, filled with turkey sausage and creamy béchamel sauce.

Starbucks is also rolling out new holiday-themed cups featuring vibrant green, red, and pink hues for hot drinks, while iced beverages will come in ornament-themed designs.

For a more exclusive experience, select Starbucks Reserve Roasteries will offer specialty items, including the Iced Caramel Brulée Eggnog Latte and Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini, alongside unique pastries like the Pistachio Raspberry Tart and Potato Truffle Pizza.
