Starbucks’ seasonal drinks and snacks arrive a week after Dunkin’ – Uptrends

Americans don’t celebrate Thanksgiving for another three weeks, but the holiday season has already begun at Starbucks and Dunkin’, the country’s two largest coffee chains.

Starbucks on Thursday is touting the return of holiday cups and special holiday espresso drinks including Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte and Chestnut Praline Latte.

The Seattle chain is also offering a trio dubbed Cran-Merry Orange Refreshers, which will be served alongside Sugar Plum Cheese Danes and other seasonal sweets.

Starbucks also sells limited edition seasonal bows during November and December.

Dunkin’ announced its festive lineup a week ago, launching a range of drinks, food and merchandise that includes the brand’s first almond croissant and a new Holiday Cookie Signature Latte, along with the return of Cookie Butter Cold Brew for a third year.
