Starbucks Holiday Menu — What to Expect in 2026

The Starbucks Holiday Menu is officially dropping Nov. 5. This year, expect a line of tiramisu drinks and two new festive Refreshers. Merch drops the same day, and we're expecting limited supply of those holiday tree cups.

No news on the re-stock date of the Bearista cup, but it is coming back this year.

Starbucks prices are hard to predict right now, especially after the hundreds of store closures this fall, and Starbucks deals increasingly rare. But here are all the details on the new menu drops and a few tips for how to save on Starbucks when the new menu arrives next month.

The Starbucks Holiday Menu is pretty standard this year.

Starbucks is pretty predictable when it comes to new menu launches. For the past three years, we've seen the new menu and Starbucks holiday cups drop on the first Thursday of November.

They're also getting more predictable with their drink offerings with fewer new or innovative flavors. But if you're a fan of the classic Starbucks Holiday Menu, they'll have everything you've been missing for the past 10 months.

We won't know exact pricing until the drop, but here's what you can expect (pricing wise) based on previous years.

Almost all of Starbucks holiday drinks are available hot, iced, or in Frappuccino form. If your fave flavor isn't listed the way you want it, ask your barista if they can make it for you (there's only so much room on the menu boards, y'all).

Here are a few tips to get free drinks or discounted deals on the new menu.

While I don't see a lot of Starbucks deals and coupons in our future, I do have a few tips to save money at Starbucks.

Get free drinks with Starbucks Rewards.

Sign up for Starbucks Rewards and scan your unique bar code every visit to earn Stars. The 100-Star tier gets you a free hot or iced coffee or tea, and it’s the best rewards tier because you can get the highest return on your initial purchase.

Check your Starbucks app for offers.

Starbucks app users often get in-app deals offers. While I don't predict a ton of offers in November, I do think you'll see offers for Bonus Stars on multiple orders and 1 - 2 discounted promotional deals throughout the month.

Order a holiday drink on Red Cup Day for a free cup.

Starbucks Red Cup Day is an annual event where you get a free 16-ounce reusable cup when you order any of the limited-edition holiday drinks. I'm predicting this year's Red Cup Day will be on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026.
