Starbucks holiday menu: Red Cup Day is back
Starbucks is bringing back fan-favorite flavors for the holiday season, including new drinks, cookies, and festive Hello Kitty merchandise.
Speaking of November, Starbucks’ annual holiday collection is here, and this year it includes a special line of Hello Kitty products.
Starting November 6th, the holiday menu will return to Starbucks, including fan-favorite Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brûlée Latte, and other drinks. In addition to caffeinated sweets, the coffee chain will also be releasing a Hello Kitty series on November 6th.
Hello Kitty limited goods such as stuffed animals, mugs, and tumblers are now available.
“Starbucks and Hello Kitty have a strong fandom and are deeply ingrained in our culture,” Kap Pittaris, Starbucks’ director of U.S. merchandising, said in a statement. “Interestingly, Hello Kitty was born in 1974 and Starbucks was born in 1971, both in the ’70s. We’re excited to bring back that nostalgic vibe this holiday season with this special collaboration.”
