Yes, they are back!
Starbucks’ beloved handcrafted holiday drinks return to stores in Singapore for a limited time, along with the special Christmas Blend coffee, new food and beverage offerings and an exclusive selection of curated merchandise for gifting.
The festive drinks are S$7.10 (hot/iced for tall) and S$7.60 for Frappucino (tall)
Toffee Nut Latte (left): This is probably many people's favorite. Rich, buttery notes of sweet toffee is combined with the warmth of toasted nuts and blended with smooth espresso and steamed milk. Topped with whipped cream and toffee nut sprinkles.
Peppermint Mocha (centre): Espresso and steamed milk sweetened with flavors of chocolate and peppermint, topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and candy cane pieces.
Gingerbread Latte (right): The warm flavour of gingerbread combined with espresso and steamed milk. Finished with a spice-infused whipped cream and brown sugar drizzle.
CHRISTMAS BLEND COFFEE
Also back is the special Christmas Blend coffee that Starbucks has been making since 1984. In creating the 2016 blend, Starbucks ages the rare Sumatra beans for up to five years, and as the coffee rests, it develops a cedary, deep and earthy flavour. These beans are then combined with robust coffee beans from Asia-Pacific and vibrant coffee beans from Latin America resulting in a full-bodied coffee that pairs well with a variety of Christmas foods, from savoury meals to sweet desserts such as the Strawberry and Hazelnut Chocolate Tart.
Choose from a range of formats to suit tastes and preferences. Coffee connoisseurs can enjoy whole bean offerings or go for these:
Starbucks® Christmas Blend Origami™: a delightful and convenient single-use filter for the perfect portioned cup of coffee on-the-go.
Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew Christmas Blend: an instant Starbucks
kick to create Christmas in a cup – wherever, whenever
