5 Must-Have Starbucks Holiday Drinks

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Akron chapter.

So it’s finally September which means flannels, leaves, and all things pumpkin, and we aren’t the only ones excited for this! Starbucks has released their fall favorite holiday drinks including some new ones! Here are my top 5 Starbucks drinks I like to sip on while studying or cozying up by the fire!

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

This new drink has taken the scene by storm! Being an avid cold brew drinker myself, I tried this as soon as I could. It is the perfect mix of fall and coffee! It is a little sweet and yet still the bitter flavor of cold brew that I love! Definitely one of my new favorites!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Naturally, this has to be on the list! The iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte (hot or cold) can satisfy anyone’s pumpkin fix. The sweet pumpkin flavor has of course always been in the hearts of all those Starbucks lovers. 

Caramel Apple Spice

While this is technically always on the menu, fall season is the best time of year to get this caffeine free hot drink! It is just steamed apple juice with some cinnamon and caramel. I’m telling you, you can never go wrong with it. It is the perfect amount of sweet and tart. For all of those non-coffee drinkers that want to join the Starbucks army, this is the drink for you!

Salted Caramel Mocha

This, just like the PSL, is an iconic fall drink. The salted caramel flavor that never goes out of style mixed with smooth mocha flavor is just heaven in a cup! Try this one hot or cold too, or even in a frap!

Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte

Last but not least, this addition to the fall menu has the best of both worlds. Chai fans are flocking to this drink that mixes the perfect amount of pumpkin and chai! Don’t forget to try this out this season!
