These vegan-friendly coffee drinks are bringing the holiday cheer with festive flavors like gingerbread, sugar cookie, and peppermint!
Celebrate the season with Starbucks' vegan-friendly holiday offerings! Whether you're craving something warm and cozy or cool and refreshing, there’s a plant-based option for every mood. Spread some holiday cheer and check out our guide to the new vegan holiday drinks at Starbucks!
Are the 2024 Starbucks Holiday Drinks Vegan?
While Starbucks offers a wide range of vegan holiday drinks, not all seasonal beverages meet the plant-based criteria. For example, Gingerbread Chai beverages are not vegan-friendly because they contain honey and the Caramel Brulee Latte cannot be veganized as the syrup contains milk ingredients. So, always double-check ingredients, omit the whipped cream, and ask for plant-based milk—now free of charge—to ensure your drink is fully vegan.
