Starbucks fans beg for return of missing holiday drink: ‘Please fix it’

Key Points:

• Starbucks has launched its holiday menu featuring new tiramisu-flavored drinks and returning favorites like the Caramel Brulée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, and Peppermint Mocha, but the Chestnut Praline-flavored drinks are notably missing, causing fan backlash.
• Customers expressed disappointment and frustration on social media, questioning why the beloved Chestnut Praline Latte was excluded and demanding its return, with some threatening to cancel holiday drink purchases.
• Starbucks’ website hints that additional seasonal drinks, possibly including Chestnut Praline, may be introduced later in the season, as happened last year when the latte returned alongside eggnog-flavored options.
• The company confirmed the return of red cup day on November 17, an annual event offering a limited-edition reusable red cup with holiday beverage purchases, though this year’s design has not yet been revealed.
• Starbucks also expanded its seasonal merchandise line, including the popular Bearista-themed items such as tumblers, mugs, ornaments, and mystery-design cold cups, with new products available starting November 5 and special releases planned for later in the season.
