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

Key Points:

• Starbucks has launched its holiday menu, introducing new tiramisu-flavored drinks and bringing back favorites like the Caramel Brulée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, and Peppermint Mocha, but notably excluding the popular Chestnut Praline flavor, sparking customer disappointment and backlash.
• Fans expressed frustration on social media, questioning why Chestnut Praline was omitted and demanding its return, with some threatening to boycott holiday drinks altogether.
• Starbucks’ website hints that additional seasonal drinks, potentially including Chestnut Praline, may be introduced later in the season, similar to last year’s late arrival of the flavor alongside eggnog beverages.
• The company confirmed that Red Cup Day will return on November 17, offering a limited-edition reusable red cup with holiday beverage purchases, though this year’s cup design has not yet been revealed.
• Starbucks has expanded its seasonal merchandise lineup, featuring a Bearista-themed collection including tumblers, mugs, ornaments, and plush charms, with mystery Bearista cold cups available starting November 10 and original designs returning to select stores December 1.
