In many parts of the country, the weather is still balmy, the leaves are still green and the breeze is carrying only the merest hint of autumn. No matter. Starbucks has just announced its holiday seasonal menu for 2025. And it’s set to arrive sooner than you might think.

What’s on 2025 Starbucks Holiday Menu?

Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte and Iced Gingerbread Chai will arrive on Starbucks’ seasonal beverage menu at locations nationwide starting on November 6. A few weeks later, Chestnut Praline Latte and Eggnog Latte will return to the menu boards as well.

The bakery case will also feature new items and returning holiday favorites. New this year will be a Polar Bear Cake Pop and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. Those back for the season include Starbucks’ Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.

The chain will also again offer an extensive lineup of holiday-specific whole bean coffees. This year’s array includes Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend; Christmas Blend, which is also available decaffeinated; Christmas Blonde Roast; and Holiday Blend.

Is Red Cup Day returning to Starbucks this year?

Yes, Red Cup Day is coming back to Starbucks for the 2025 holiday season.

“Customers can look forward to celebrating with a collectible, reusable holiday cup — which they will receive with the purchase of any handcrafted holiday beverage,” Starbucks says via email.

Red Cups will be available at participating stores, while supplies last.

Will Starbucks introduce any special holiday merch this season?

Yes, Starbucks is dropping both a holiday merchandise collection and a merchandise collaboration with Hello Kitty. Both limited-edition collections will drop on November 6 at Starbucks coffeehouses nationwide.

The holiday collection includes “festive drinkware and gifts” featuring “joyful designs and wintry textures,” according to the brand. You can get a green-beanie-wearing “Starbucks Bearista” cold cup ($29.95), a gift-boxed gold mug with a poinsettia design ($29.95), a “Red Ribbon” stainless steel tumbler ($27.95), and a mug with a handle that zigzags like the branches of a Christmas tree ($19.95), among quite a few other limited-edition items.

The Hello Kitty collab includes a $34.95 boxed plush toy of Hello Kitty wearing a green Starbucks-barista apron and an extensive line of drinkware, including a $32.95 lidded, 16-ounce ceramic Hello Kitty mug with a red silicone bow on top.

“Whether you’re looking for a gift for a friend or a little something for yourself, this collection makes everyday moments feel a little more joyful and every gift a little more personal.” Kap Pitarys, director of U.S. merchandise for Starbucks, says of the Hello Kitty collection.

I Tried Arby’s New Steak Nuggets, but I’m Not Sure You Can Really Call Them Nuggets

2025-11-30 23:26:04

Photo by: Photo courtesy of Arby'sPhoto courtesy of Arby'sIf you pay attention to fast food, you’ll likely have noticed that chicken is everywhere. Post-Popeyes chicken sandwich (and imitator) boom, in the past year we’ve also seen new chicken tenders pop up on the menu at both McDonald’s and Wendy’s. And Arby’s, which has built a brand on the unconventional quick service offering of roast beef, is also revamping a classic chicken format in its own restaurants, the nugget. But true to its “we have the meats” mantra, the brand isn’t touching its current chicken-based offerings — Arby’s is doubling down on beef with new Steak Nuggets.According to Arby’s, these new bite-sized bits of steak are “seared and smoked” and seasoned with garlic and pepper. They can be enjoyed à la carte or as part of a meal in five-piece and nine-piece options, both of which are served alongside barbecue sauce for dipping.I hit up Arby’s after the official release of Steak Nuggets on Monday, October 6 to try them for myself. The meat isn’t dense or chewy, but more like a slow-cooked brisket in texture. Because of that and the barbecue dipping sauce, to me, they called to mind the fan-favorite barbecue off-cut burnt ends, which are the slightly overdone tips leftover from slicing brisket.The biggest difference you’ll notice with steak nuggets versus their more common poultry counterparts (other than the meat itself) is that they’re not battered and fried. To that end, they’re also not what I would consider a finger food, though that’s purely a personal preference for how messy you do or don’t mind getting your hands. (I opted for a fork, which comes included with your order no matter what.)But if a cup of meaty nuggz isn’t enough to satisfy your appetite, Arby’s is also introducing two additional ways to enjoy steak nuggets: a sandwich and a macaroni and cheese bowl. Arby’s announcement states the Steak Nugget Sandwich features “Steak Nuggets with Havarti Cheese, crispy onions, tangy pickles and mayo on a toasted bun,” while The Steak Nugget Bowl includes Steak Nuggets over white cheddar mac and cheese and topped with crispy onions.All of the Steak Nuggets items are available at participating Arby’s locations nationwide for a limited time.22 Easy Steak Dinners You Can Make Any Night of the Week22 PhotosWhether grilled, seared or roasted, steak always makes for a simple and tasty dinner.Related Content:Taco Bell and Salt & Straw Are Bringing a Cult-Favorite Treat Back From the DeadI Tried Ben Stiller’s New Soda Brand, and Here’s My Honest Review9 Best Air Fryers of 2025, Tested and Reviewed
