The holiday season is now upon us. Malls are decorated, Walmart has all of their Christmas decorations out, and those holiday radio stations are about to start blasting out our favorite seasonal songs. With all of this holiday cheer, there is one seasonal concoction that all basics look forward to more than anything else: Starbucks holiday drinks. Once Pumpkin Spice Latte season has come and gone, it is time to roll out the red cups and get down to business. Everyone has their favorites, and the fact that they only come once a year makes them so much tastier. Here is my power ranking of the Starbucks holiday drinks.
1. Peppermint Mocha
I decided to start with the best one because waiting until the end was too hard for me. With just the right amount of peppermint to make you want to decorate a Christmas tree on the spot, this one is hands down my favorite.
2. Gingerbread Latte.
Coming in at a very close second place is the Gingerbread Latte. This drink just screams Christmas time. You can’t not be happy with one of these in your hand.
3. Caramel Brûlée Latte
Another fan favorite, the Caramel Brûlée is definitely not on the same level as the Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread Latte. It is definitely delicious though, and I would not complain if anyone would like to bring me one right now.
4. Chestnut Praline Latte
Who needs to roast their own chestnuts on an open fire when you can just get yourself one of these? Jack Frost won’t be nipping at your nose when you have this to warm you up. (Sorry, my puns are terrible.)
5. Spiced Sweet Cream Narino
I used to not be a huge fan of these, but they’ve grown on me. It's still not my favorite, but I'll take it.
6. Eggnog Latte
I’m sorry, but eggnog is that holiday drink that barely anyone likes. But you have to invite her to the party anyway because there’s that one person who claims she’s their “best friend” and must bring her along. Therefore, I do not want eggnog in my coffee or in my life.
