Starbucks is welcoming the New Year with the launch of its winter menu, featuring new and old flavors that have appealed to fans of caramel, pistachio, and the viral Dubai chocolate trend.

Starbucks is launching its winter menu on January 6th, featuring new and old flavors inspired by caramel, pistachio, and the Dubai chocolate trend.
Designed to appeal to customers seeking both comfort and innovation, Starbucks’ Winter Menu 2026 combines classic coffee formats with modern twists, including sugar-free options and protein milk.
