I have had the eggnog latte and the creme brule - both were very yummy.
Bought our winter blend of beans today too. I *heart* this time of year.

Anyone tried the Starbucks holiday drinks this year?

Ours doesn't have anything but pumpkin spice lattes right now and I haven't tried them. One year I had the peppermint mocha or something like that and it was good but too much peppermint so the next time I asked for one shot of the syrup instead of the 2-3 they normally put in and it was divine!
I'm not a coffee fan--either hot or cold. I have tried to interest DH in some of the holiday blends of coffee in the past and he wasn't interested. However, he went to Starbucks last week and bought some Thanksgiving blend coffee and is enjoying it. I have to admit that it has a nice aroma.
i like the peppermint too. i didnt like eggnog lattes . i like eggnog though. love the pumpkin spice .
I need to get at least one Pumpkin latte before they stop serving those (if they haven't already). I just wish they'd come out with a lower-calorie version! :--)
The eggnog one sounds yummy - thanks for the suggestion!

Friday is my monthly visit to Starbucks - I treat myself on the way to the staff meeting! Looking forward to it!!
We have a gingerbread latte on offer at the moment (Haven't tried it yet though) but we never get the really fun ones like pumpkin - I reckon they don't think the Irish (or the British as they weren't inLondon whenever we visited at holiday season) would drink them!
Am still on my plain skinny lattes mostly, but will try a holiday one soon (I was going to have one on Friday afternoon - but SB was too full to sit and relax so I went to Costa across the road, which doesn't do those ones).

I am obcessed with the Pumpkin-Spiced lattes, but I have a few in the beginning and then lay off since they are SO calorie-laden! I think I had a peppermint mocha a few years ago, but not recently to comment.
Currently at home we are drinking their Thanksgiving blend coffee and it is DIVINE! It is I would say a medium roast and SO smooth!
Does anyone remember if they keep it after Thanksgiving or if they have a Christmas roast?

Just had a gingerbread latte tonight and I really liked it. I've been making homemade pumpkin lattes from the Susan Branch "Autumn" book and they are awesome!
I have had an Eggnog Cream Frappuccino... delicious! My favorite is the Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino with an extra pump of peppermint. My daughter likes the Caramel Brulee.
yeah I had the gingerbread latte. wasn't bad and I am not a huge coffee drinker and I liked it. do they have hot cocoa? I should try that next time I am there if they do I am craving some hot chocolate.
I had a peppermint white chocolate mocha the other day...it was sooo yummy! And I had a caramel brulee a few weeks ago..it was lucious, too! I am going to have the peppermint mocha at least once more before they go away!
yes, I'm not a coffee drinker and have never been to starbucks. Do they have hot cocoa or hot chocolate? My friend recently turned me on to hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps.... yummy!!! I'd go to startbucks if they had hot cocoa!
