Updated Sept. 30, 2026: Starbucks has not announced its U.S. 2026 holiday menu yet. These are TTB archive recipes, not a list of drinks you can assume are available today.
What is safe to assume: Cold Brew is still a current Starbucks base. What you need to check: peppermint, Sugar Cookie, Caramel Brulée, Chestnut Praline, holiday sprinkles and other seasonal sauces/toppings can come and go. Open the individual recipe for its exact ingredient check, then check your selected store before ordering.
For confirmed 2026 menu news, use our Holiday Drinks 2026 guide.
Peppermint, cold brew, and a little Christmas color? Yes, please.
We are sharing our favorite Christmas Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks from the TTB archive. These are custom drink ideas, not an announcement that Starbucks has launched a new holiday menu.
Looking for this year’s announcements instead? Our 2026 holiday drinks guide keeps current news separate from older recipes.
Some of these recipes depend on seasonal syrups or toppings. An old recipe is not a promise that your store still has every ingredient.
Pick a drink from our Christmas Secret Menu collection, open its recipe, and check the ingredients before ordering. Bring the instructions rather than expecting a barista to know the nickname.

Treat an older recipe as inspiration, not an inventory list. Check the current menu at your store before planning an order around a seasonal syrup, sauce, or topping.
I’m a Venti girl but you can adjust any of these drink recipes to meet the taste of the size of drink you wish to order.
