‘Tis the season for a fancy beverage.

And if you’re headed for Opera Lane this weekend, make a beeline for Starbucks for a festive fix before you hit the shops.

There are two new Christmassy treats to try; one piping hot and another ice cold.

If you fancy something cooler on a well-earned break from shopping, try the new Toffee Nut Cream Cold Brew, the same toffee nut taste with an ice-cold twist, topped with toffee nut sprinkles for all the festive feels.

*drool*

This year’s new Praline Cookie Hot Chocolate won’t disappoint either, with a buttery baked cookie flavour and notes of caramelised hazelnut, almond and walnut adding extra depth. You can finish with rich chocolatey whipped cream and a sprinkle of cookie crumb, or order with a dairy alternative and vegan whipped topping.

Starbucks Red Cup icons, the Toffee Nut Latte and Gingerbread Latte have also returned, joined by the Caramel Waffle Latte, back for a second year following a wonderful welcome to stores in 2021.

Also new to the nice list are a whole host of festive treats including Chocolate Caramel Quispies, a Snowball Brownie and a Snowflake Cookie.

That should fuel your bargain-hunting until closing time.
