The Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai features oat milk, chai tea, gingerbread syrup, and ice, topped with a dusting of pumpkin spice.

Also new, but only available at US locations serving Oleato (Starbucks' coffee and olive oil concoction) beverages, is the new Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte. It consists of the chain's Blonde Espresso, gingerbread syrup, steamed oat milk, and Partanna extra virgin olive oil, topped with a dusting of tangerine-ginger sugar.

Along with the holiday menu, Starbucks rolls out this year's batch of holiday cups. There are four hot cup designs--Peppermint Swirl, Bauble Wrap, Party Plaid, and Ribbon Spool--and one cold cup design.  

If you happen to come by one of Starbucks' fancier Reserve Roasteries (in New York, Chicago, and Seattle), they have three new holiday beverages, including the Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini, Starbucks Reserve Peppermint Mocha, and Starbucks Oleato Whiskey Barrel-Aged Cold Brew. For eating, they have a number of holiday baked goods, including the Princi Chocolate Hazelnut Swirl Cake, Pistachio Maritozzo, Apple Crumb Pie, and Cranberry Cheese Danish.
