What’s the best Christmas Starbucks drink?
The best Starbucks holiday drinks are totally subjective to your taste and dietary needs. However, the Peppermint Mocha is definitely the OG menu item. (This year is its 20th anniversary!) So if you’re unsure of what to order, that’s what we would recommend.
Is the Peppermint Mocha better hot or cold?
Again, that’s based on your preference. Iced drinks are popular at Starbucks year round, so much so that the company introduced the Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte last year. That said, the Peppermint Mocha was originally created as a hot drink. We find that sticking with the original intention often yields the best results when it comes to Starbucks Christmas drinks.
