Starbucks brings back Red Cups – and launches a festive first for Christmas 2026
The 2026 Christmas menu adds peppermint drinks, new cakes and a Holiday Cold Cup, while Starbucks Rewards members get early access.
On October 29, Starbucks launched its 2026 Christmas menu, giving Starbucks Rewards members an exclusive First Taste of new festive drinks. The nationwide launch, featuring returning Red Cups, follows on November 5.
Peppermint leads this year's seasonal line-up with four new creations, including the first-ever Holiday Cold Cup. This addition provides a festive option for customers preferring iced beverages over traditional hot lattes.
The Festive Feast Toastie costs £6.40, while new drinks like the Iced Peppermint White Chocolate Matcha start from £5.75. These join returning favourites such as the Toffee Nut Latte from £5.40.
Starbucks also introduced new sweet treats, including the Sticky Toffee Pecan Cake and Chocolate Orange Cake Cube for £4.50 each. Customers can purchase the Santa Bearista Gingerbread Cookie for £3.10.
Starting November 5, the full holiday menu arrives nationwide, bringing a familiar splash of red to stores. Red Cups return to participating locations as part of the seasonal rollout.
