The Peppermint Mocha Creamer returns, and the non-dairy Sugar Cookie Latte Creamer, which is made with a blend of almond milk and oat milk is available.
Starbucks has also expanded its ready-to-drink holiday lineup with Cold Brew Multi-Serve Concentrate Sweetened Vanilla & Chocolate, Iced Espresso Peppermint Mocha and the Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink.
What People Are Saying
Kap Pitarys, director of U.S. merchandise for Starbucks said about the merchandise collaboration: “Starbucks and Hello Kitty have strong fandoms and deep roots in culture.
“Interestingly, both were born in the '70s—Hello Kitty in 1974 and Starbucks in 1971. We’re excited to bring back that nostalgic vibe with this special collaboration this holiday season.”
What Happens Next
The holiday menu and limited-edition Hello Kitty merchandise will be available in stores from November 6.
