PETALING JAYA, 13 Nov 2018:
You know the festivities at Starbucks have begun when your favourite holiday treats return.
This year, Starbucks Malaysia celebrates ‘The Blend is the Magic’ with new and returning seasonal handcrafted beverages, along with special holiday blend whole beans, gifting cards and an exclusive selection of curated merchandise.
From today, Starbucks gets all Christmassy by bringing the joy of a snowy Christmas to tropical Malaysia, no matter how warm or wet it may be outside.
Blending their espresso with nostalgic flavours, the holiday season is set to get even merrier with the brand new Starbucks Cranberry Latte. Pairing the toastiness of white chocolate sauce with the sweet and tart notes of cranberry, and sprinkling the snow-like whipped cream on top with cranberry sugar makes for a lovely festive touch.
In the spirit of Christmas tradition, Starbucks is also bringing back two seasonal holiday delights for a limited time – so expect to see the Toffee Nut Crunch Latte and Peppermint Mocha back on the menu.
Ring in the holiday season with subtle caramel sweetness, topped with whipped cream and a sticky toffee crunch. The rich buttery toffee flavours and aroma toasted nuts make the perfect partner for Starbucks espresso roast.
As for the Peppermint Mocha, the combination of espresso and steamed milk sweetened with flavours of chocolate and peppermint, topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle and candy cane pieces all make for a pretty splash of Christmas.
Starbucks also welcomes the return of its most beloved roast coffee beans, the Starbucks Holiday Blend, together with the Starbucks Holiday Blend Espresso Roast and Starbucks Holiday Blonde Roast.
For an instant classic holiday fix, get the Starbucks VIA Holiday Blend – a ready brew made from the same signature blend of rare aged Sumatran coffee with lively Latin American beans and mellow Indonesian beans.
As always the season’s merchandise will brighten the season of giving. This year Starbucks introduces the Snow Globe with iconic Starbucks motifs including a miniature to-go cup, coffee beans and even our own local Malaysian tiger in the signature green apron.
Alternatively, gift the adorable Christmas Bearista Boy or Bearista Girl bears, both with pompom plaid scarf and velvet skirts/shirts.
