Peppermint Mocha
Peppermint Mocha is a classic holiday flavor, and you might have already seen it popping up in your local grocery store. Peppermint Mocha is made with espresso, steamed milk, mocha sauce and peppermint-flavored syrup, and is topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls.

Toasted White Chocolate Mocha
The Toasted White Chocolate Mocha made its debut last November, and it's so good, there's no mystery as to why they're bringing it back. The drink is made with espresso, steamed milk and caramelized white chocolate flavoring. It's topped with whipped cream and candied cranberry sugar.
Caramel Brulée Latte
The Caramel Brulée Latte is as smooth as it sounds with espresso, steamed milk, Caramel Brulée Sauce, whipped cream, and crunchy Caramel Brulée topping.
Chestnut Praline Latte
The Chestnut Praline Latte was first released in 2014, and back then, it was the first new holiday drink to be released in five years. My, how times have changed! The latte mixes espresso, steamed milk, and caramelized chestnuts and spices flavoring, topped with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs.
Gingerbread Latte
The Gingerbread Latte mixes espresso, steamed milk, spicy gingerbread flavoring, and of course, is topped with whipped cream and ground nutmeg. It's like a cookie (minus the gumdrop buttons) in a cup!

Eggnog Latte
The Eggnog Latte is actually a spin on, not just an adaptation of the classic milky beverage. The latte is made with espresso and steamed eggnog (not steamed milk), and is topped with a dash of nutmeg.
While all of these drinks are iconic Starbucks masterpieces, there's no doubt that the coffee chain will release more as it gets closer to the winter holidays, adding to Starbucks holiday drinks 2018. But for now, you can sip your Gingerbread Latte while you wait.
