The holiday cups are out, campus is freezing, and suddenly every college girl is walking to class with a red cup like it’s a personality trait (because it absolutely is). And since the Starbucks holiday menu basically defines the season, it only feels right to match each iconic drink with the iconic girl who orders it.
So… which festive drink are you? Let’s find out.
Peppermint Mocha — The Academic Weapon
You’ve had your Google Calendar color-coded since August. You’re already working on assignments due next week, and you’ve absolutely said “I can’t, I have to study” more than once this semester.
You love classics, routines, and anything that keeps you on track — but you still like to add a little fun. Peppermint Mocha girls carry lip gloss, highlighters, and hand cream in the same pocket of their tote bag.
Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte — The Aesthetic Girl
You wear earmuffs unironically. You own at least two different puffer jackets. Your
Pinterest board is immaculate and your handwriting is the type that belongs in a
planner TikTok.
You love a subtle festive vibe — something soft, pretty, and a little bit sparkly. You
romanticize your life while walking to class, even if it’s 32 degrees and your fingers are frozen.
Peppermint Hot Chocolate — The Soft Girl
If cozy sweaters, emotional support water bottles, and quiet library corners could be a person…it would be you.
You’re gentle, calm, and somehow always smell like vanilla. You’re the friend who
checks in on everyone, the one who gives the best advice, and the one who will 100% cry during a Christmas movie even if you’ve seen it 15 times.
Caramel Brûlée Latte — The Social Butterfly
You know everyone on campus. You’re always either going to brunch, planning a gift
exchange, or hyping your friends up before a night out.
You bring main-character energy EVERYWHERE — sparkly nails, cute outfits, and an
overflowing camera roll full of memories. You’re festive year-round, but Christmas?
That’s your Super Bowl.
Gingerbread Chai — The Trendsetter
You were drinking chai before TikTok made it cool. You have a capsule wardrobe but
somehow still look different in every Instagram post.
You thrift, you gatekeep, you girlboss. Everyone in your friend group goes to you for
fashion advice or holiday gift ideas. You’re effortlessly cool, but also secretly very
sentimental.
White Chocolate Mocha — The Holiday-Obsessed Girl
You started playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving and you’re not sorry. You
have a holiday playlist, festive pajamas, and a collection of fuzzy socks that could clothe a small village.
Your phone background is a Christmas tree, your dorm smells like sugar cookies, and
you absolutely cry over the first snow of the season.
So… which drink are you?
Whether you’re a Peppermint Mocha academic weapon or an Iced Sugar Cookie latte
girly who lives for cute vibes, every Starbucks holiday drink has main-character energy.
And honestly? Being festive is a personality grab your fav holiday drink at Starbucks!
