Starbucks Secret Menu Holiday Drinks You Need to Try

The holiday season is here and Starbucks has brought back its red … um festive cups. It’s time to pump up your holiday cheer and plunge into the season of joy headfirst.

Starbucks holiday drinks have always been a popular part of their seasonal menu, but have you heard about the new holiday drinks on Starbucks ’ secret menu? 

These super-secret holiday drinks from Starbucks aren’t simply something you can order by name. This article will tell you all about this year’s exclusive Starbucks’ secret menu holiday drinks and give you the recipe to order these caffeinated concoctions. 

Starbucks Official Holiday Drinks

This year Starbucks’ holiday menu is offering some classic holiday beverages, pastries, and gifts available to order beginning Friday, November 6 – one day earlier than last year. 

The Starbucks Holiday drink menu includes the popular favorites Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulee Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Eggnog Latte, and the perennial favorite Peppermint Mocha (which turns 18 years old this year) according to a Starbucks spokesperson. And, of course, all of them will be served in the equally anticipated Starbucks holiday-themed cups.

The Super Secret Starbucks Menu Holiday Drinks 2020

All of the above information came from Starbucks corporate, but if you’ve been on TikTok or Instagram lately you’ve probably seen the Holiday Hot Cocoa Cold Brew or the Santa Claus Frappuccino. These drinks are on the secret Starbucks menu. 

In case you’ve been living under a rock, there isn’t really a Starbucks secret menu. It’s actually just a bunch of drinks Starbucks fans make by asking for specific customizations available on regular menu items.

You cannot drive up to the window and ask for a Santa Claus Frappucino by name. So, how do you get in on these unique, magical Starbucks secret menu items? You order one by using the recipes below. 

The Santa Claus Frappuccino


The Santa Claus Frappuccino was invented by some genius at Totally The Bomb and thankfully, it does not require too many crazy requests to order.

To start, order the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. Then request some strawberry puree in the middle and on the bottom. Ask for it to come topped with whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles. Your custom drink will be a delicious blend of white and red yumminess that tastes like a strawberry shortcake.

While you are at Starbucks ordering your Santa Claus Frapp, be sure to pick up some of the holiday line of reusable cups, which we just love and we know you will too!

Ready to snuggle up under warm blankets and sip hot holiday cocoa while watching your favorite Christmas movies? We are! But what if you live somewhere where it hasn’t quite gotten cold enough yet to enjoy hot holiday cocoa? The Hot Cocoa Cold Brew is the perfect solution to your cold-weather cocoa cravings.

To order this Starbucks secret menu option, start by ordering a Venti Sweet Cream Cold Brew with only two pumps of vanilla. Then ask for four pumps of mocha and one pump of toasted white mocha added in. Top with chocolate powder and chocolate curls for heavenly cocoa delight. That’s it! This totally our new go-to holiday shopping fuel.

This drink will quickly become your holiday favorite if only for the ombre Christmas colors. It’s also the most popular drink among non-coffee drinkers on the secret holiday drink menu. 

Start off by ordering a Venti passion tea with no water. Then ask to add ¼ pump of strawberry puree. For sweetness add 2 pumps of liquid cane sugar and 3 pumps of raspberry syrup. Finally, ask for regular cold foam with 2 scoops of matcha powder. We love the cool ombre effect in red and green. 

Starbucks Holiday Food Menu 2020

Besides the popular holiday coffee concoctions, Starbucks is serving up holiday cheer with their delish selection of seasonal food including the new Cranberry-Orange scone, Cranberry Bliss Bar, Snowman cookie, Snowman Pops, and, of course, the Sugar Plum Cheese Danish. Take some home to enjoy the Christmas seasonal favorite with family and friends this year.
