What are some vegan holiday drinks at Starbucks?

Peppermint Mocha

The peppermint mocha is our number one holiday vegan drink, and Starbucks vegan customers love it. The Starbucks peppermint mocha is prepared using the mocha sauce, which is vegan, and peppermint syrup. Instead of mixing regular milk while preparing this drink, request the barista to replace the milk with coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. You should, however, note that you will be charged a little extra for the non-dairy milk. If you prefer to have a peppermint mocha drink that is very sweet, I will advise you to use soy milk because it is also lovely. If you want your drink to be charming, use the other kinds of milk I mentioned above.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Our second Starbucks holiday vegan drink that most vegan customers cherish is peppermint hot chocolate. This drink is prepared by mixing the non-dairy milk of your choice, which might include almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk, with peppermint and chocolate chips. You should not order this drink with whipped cream as a topping because it contains dairy and will no longer be considered a vegan drink. Go ahead and enjoy your delicious drink.

Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte

The iced sugar cookie almond milk latte is another famous Starbucks holiday vegan drink, as its taste and flavor are out of this world. Although it is an iced drink, you can order a warm or a hotter version of it when the cold season starts to kick in, but you still want to enjoy your drink. This drink is prepared by mixing shots of Starbucks blonde espresso, a sugar cookie-flavored syrup, with steamed almond milk. The drink is then topped up with red and green sprinkles, which are purely vegan.

Chestnut Praline Latte

The chestnut praline latte vegan drink is usually made by mixing a shot of espresso, non-dairy steamed milk of your choice, and the chestnut caramel flavor. You can then request the barista to top up your chestnut praline latte drink with mulled praline crumbs for perfect extra taste.

Caramel Brulee Latte

If you want to order a unique vegan drink and don’t know what to go for, I suggest you try out the caramel Brulee latte, as you will love it. This vegan drink is prepared at Starbucks by mixing a strongly brewed coffee, caramel syrup, vanilla syrup, and sugar-free vanilla almond milk. The drink is topped up with almond milk, whipped cream, and a slight drizzle of caramel sauce. Order this drink in a larger cup, as it will be all worth it.

Irish Cream Cold Brew

This Starbucks holiday vegan drink is perfect for a hot day, as it will automatically soothe your dry tongue and throat with the first sip of it. The Irish cream cold brew vegan drink is usually prepared at Starbucks by mixing cold brew coffee and Irish cream syrup. Ice is poured on this drink to give it the coldness it deserves. The drink is then topped up with any non-dairy foam of your choice and finished with a little dusting of sweetened cocoa powder.

Salted Caramel Mocha

The salted caramel mocha is one of Starbucks’ holiday vegan drinks that is easy to prepare as all the barista needs to do is mix shots of espresso, water, cocoa powder, and salted caramel with the non-dairy milk of your choice. You can then decide to top up your salted caramel mocha with coconut whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Gingerbread Latte

This Starbucks holiday vegan drink is usually prepared by mixing gingerbread, nutmeg, and extra spices for that hot flavor. Non-dairy milk is also used during the preparation of this drink. The barista can also top it up with a vegan cream for an extra taste.

Apple Crisp Macchiato

The apple crisp macchiato vegan drink was introduced by Starbucks to its customers back in 2021, during the fall. The drink would become famous, remaining among the most loved holiday drinks. This vegan drink is usually served either hot or iced, depending on your preference. The apple crisp macchiato vegan drink is prepared by mixing shots of espresso, non-dairy milk of your choice, an apple brown sugar syrup, and a drizzle of vegan spiced apple.

Christmas Blend

The vegan Christmas blend drink is prepared at Starbucks by mixing blended coffee, almond milk, vanilla syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This drink gives you the spicy and sweet flavor any holiday drink should provide, making it perfect.

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

This is another Starbucks vegan drink you should often try, as it is incredible and tasty when you drink it. The cinnamon dolce latte vegan drink is usually prepared by mixing your preferred non-dairy milk, coffee, and cinnamon dolce latte syrup.
