Everyone has their favourite festive drinks and this year there seem to be more and more Christmas cups. Starbucks, Costa, Cafè Nero and even McDonalds have jumped on the Christmas cup bandwagon!
Starbucks
Everyone knows the iconic red cup. Starbucks also have some of the most delicious flavoured drinks at Christmas time that get you in the festive mood. These include: Eggnog Latte, Gingerbread Latte, Honey and Almond Hot Chocolate, Toffee Nut Latte, and someone told me that there was a Christmas Cookie latte, but after extensive research, it turns out it is only available in Australia and Philippines. How could you keep this from me Starbucks? Sort it out.
Costa
The cutest cup design has to go to Costa. I was so excited to see some extra characters this year, as I believe there were only two designs last Christmas. Their Christmas range includes: Black Forest Hot Chocolate, Brownie Hot Chocolate, Gingerbread and Cream Latte, Orange Hot Chocolate, Praline Cappuccino, Sticky Toffee Latte, Hot Spiced Apple and White Hot Chocolate. While I haven't tried most of these delightful sounding drinks, I did have a White Hot Chocolate that just didn't sit right with me. It was too sweet and just didn't taste as nice as traditional hot chocolate. I am dying to try the Hot Spiced Apple though, so Costa... I'm coming for ya!
Cafè Nero
To try and compete with the big guns, Cafe Nero have created the Festive Latte Collection. The cups and flavours don't seem inspired. Nero I am SO disappointed.
McDonalds
With their large selection of festive food, you would have thought that McDonalds would have bought out more festive drinks flavours this years. From what I can tell, the only festive drink they have is the Toffee Latte. I am yet to try out the Toffee Latte, but I can tell you that the festive banoffee pie is genius (but not as good as my beloved apple pie).
Do you have a favourite festive drink? This year mine is most definitely the genius that is the Honey and Almond Hot Chocolate... thank you Starbucks!!
