Well, I guess Christmas is starting in November now isn’t it? You’ve probably seen enough Christmas trees and decorations in any retail shop to make you think it’s already December by now. But no, it is still November, so don’t be playing any of that Christmas music just yet. There are definitely some perks to be had for all this premature celebration though: it’s time to eat all of the Christmas menu items…
Starbucks Literally Has Everything
Starbucks is really going all out for their Christmas menu. With pretty much everything you could imagine being there, including the return of the Gingerbread Latte, Toffee Nut Latte, Eggnog Latte and the beloved Fudge Hot Chocolate. With sprinkles of gold, because I guess that’s a thing now…
With this, there is also the addition of the Festive Cold Brew…for those times you’re too hot in winter? But we won’t question their menu, and it’s filled with cranberries and oranges so we can’t complain too much.
Now onto food – we’re literally salivating whilst typing this. They have introduced the Christmas Tree Brownie, a Chocolate Truffle Loaf Cake and a Danish Almond Star. For the savoury offering, there’s a Turkey Feast Panini, a Turkey Club Flatbread and two vegetarian options – the Three Cheese Cranberry Panini and a Poached Egg Hollandaise Croissant Bun. Yes, you know you want to grab one at lunch now.
Costa Coffee, For the Times You Just Want to Chill
Costa is also bringing in those festive cups we all love so much (again, it is still November.) But I digress, the Costa Coffee menu is there for you for the times you just need to sit down and retire from the stress of Christmas life.
The popular millionaire’s shortbread has been turned into Billionaire’s Hot Chocolate, Billionaire’s Latte, and Billionaire’s Latte Frostino. There’s also Black Forest Hot Chocolate, which you can get in Frostino form too, plus Mint Hot Chocolate with a crumb and Lindt Hot Chocolate.
And as for the coffee front, there’s Gingerbread Latte, Salted Caramel Cappuccino and a Honeycomb Latte. You’re probably gonna want to go here for your morning coffee tomorrow.
Caffé Nero for The Standard Stuff
A post shared by @caffenero on
Caffe Nero is offering all those Christmas treats we adore with lattes, hot chocolates and salted caramel on the drinks menu.
For festive food, there’s an Amaretti Muffin, Chocolate & Hazelnut Slice, Mince Pie, and Salted Caramel Billionaires Cake.
EAT All the Food
Now we know this isn’t technically a coffee chain, but their food does look pretty incredible. And might even get us over our fear of cranberries in everything. With offerings such as Turkey, Stuffing and Crispy Onions; a Full Works Bloomer; Turkey Hot Pot; Merry Mincemeat Crumble; and Mince Pies.
Pret-a-Manger’s Call to All Vegans (and Meat Eaters)
Yes, Pret has made something that caters to everyone, and has the only vegan menu option we’ve found to date. Now vegans can rejoice with Prets new sandwich with roasted butternut squash, nutty Christmas pesto and rocket, served with yoghurt & mayo dressing.
And for the meat fans there’s a turkey, stuffing with orange cranberry sauce combo for you to enjoy.
