Starbucks has launched its 2024 holiday menu featuring beloved favorites such as Peppermint Mocha and Caramel Brulée Latte, alongside new offerings including the Cran-Merry Orange Refresher and its variations. The new refreshers blend sweet orange and tart cranberry flavors with spices, available starting November 7. Despite the excitement, some fan-favorite drinks like the Toasted White Chocolate and Eggnog Latte are notably absent this year. Meanwhile, Wawa has unveiled its own seasonal menu, offering a variety of festive beverages including Chocolate Peppermint Cookies & Cream Latte and Peppermint Bark Cold Brew, receiving positive feedback from fans. The competition between Starbucks and Wawa has sparked playful banter online, with some loyalists claiming Wawa's offerings outshine Starbucks this holiday season. Both chains are capitalizing on holiday cheer with their extensive drink selections, aiming to attract customers during the festive period.
