The Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino at Starbucks is a frozen treat with a nice balance between chocolate and peppermint. The drink is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, but also enjoys the subtle taste of coffee. It is topped with whipped cream which is light and fluffy. If you’re looking for a delicious frosty holiday drink, the Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino would be the perfect choice.

This season, Starbucks is offering an Iced Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai. It has a warm and toasty taste despite the ice. While the chai contains caffeine, it is not too strong and has sweet flavors to balance it out. The drink has a festive gingerbread taste, but there are other flavors such as pumpkin spice and cinnamon to compliment it. Overall, the Iced Gingerbread Oat Milk Chai is very light and is topped off with frothed oat milk, which also has the sweetness of gingerbread.

Starbucks’ Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte is aesthetically pleasing with a fun and festive feel. Right off the bat, the green and red sprinkles bring an element of excitement, but it is not just nice to look at, the taste is even better. While the Blonde Espresso Roast used in the drink is strong and definitely for coffee lovers, the combination of the sugar cookie flavoring creates a nice balance. I strongly suggest adding the sugar cookie cold foam on top to help mute the strong coffee flavor if you aren’t a coffee lover like me. Overall, this drink gives off major holiday vibes.

Both the Hot Chocolate and White Chocolate Mocha looked similar with their whipped cream toppings.
The Hot Chocolate is the perfect drink for a cold winter day. It is smooth, creamy, and perfect for milk chocolate lovers. The taste of cocoa is rich but is paired with whipped cream on top, which softens the flavor and compliments the sweetness.
The White Chocolate Mocha is a great alternative if you don’t like milk chocolate. It is creamier than regular hot chocolate and is very sweet. The whipped cream goes perfectly with the white chocolate, and is perfect for a snowy day.
