Caribou Coffee, the premium coffeehouse known for handcrafted beverages and real ingredients, announces its holiday lineup, launching in stores nationwide beginning Saturday, Nov. 1. This season, Caribou invites guests to spark comfort and joy with a limited-time menu featuring returning fan favorites and exciting new additions designed to make every moment feel a little more cheerful.
This year’s holiday menu brings back classics like the Ho Ho Mint Mocha made with real chocolate and real candy canes, alongside new additions including the Cranberry Dark Chocolate Crafted Press and the Spicy Mocha Espresso Shaker. The seasonal menu is available for a limited time at participating locations, while supplies last.
“Building on the incredible guest response to our seasonal offerings last year, we’re excited to announce our holiday menu with both beloved returning favorites and new additions,” said Carrie Sazama, Director of Product, Caribou Coffee. “The success of our cranberry platform in 2024 inspired us to introduce the new Cranberry Dark Chocolate Crafted Press, while guest demand led us to add the Spicy Mocha Espresso Shaker to our lineup. Combined with the return of our iconic Ho Ho Mint Mocha, this holiday launch represents our commitment to delivering both the comfort of tradition and the excitement of innovation.”
Each holiday beverage at Caribou can be customized to match your mood, with options to enjoy it hot, iced, blended into a cooler or even as a Caribou Coffee Signature Crafted Press, which is cold-brewed coffee with a splash of milk, real sugar and an optional flavor selection for a smooth, lighter-than-air finish. It’s a refreshingly different way to sip your favorite holiday flavor, and just one of the many ways to make every Caribou visit a personalized seasonal experience.
