"The creative minds at Starbucks are always coming up with new drinks to celebrate the season, and this year is no different. Among the company's 2025 holiday offerings is an oatmilk-based hazelnut praline mille-feuille drink offered in three different forms: a standard oatmilk latte, a blended oatmilk Frappuccino, and a blended oatmilk cream Frappuccino. Unfortunately for those of us in the U.S., these new nutty, creamy drinks are only landing in a market on the other side of the world: Asia."
"If you've never heard of it, a mille-feuille is a type of custard dessert originally hailing from France. The name translates to "thousand-leaf," a reference to the crisp puff pastry that sandwiches delicate custard in this layered dessert. Mille-feuille has an alluring history, and the tricks by which it is turned into a latte are equally intriguing. Making a flaky custard dessert into a latte is no easy task, but the rich syrups are doing most of the work."
Starbucks' 2025 holiday lineup includes an oatmilk-based hazelnut praline mille-feuille beverage available as an oatmilk latte, a blended oatmilk Frappuccino, and a blended oatmilk cream Frappuccino. The drink debuts only in Asian markets, leaving U.S. customers without access. Mille-feuille is a French custard pastry whose name means 'thousand-leaf' and is layered with crisp puff pastry and custard. The beverage uses rich syrups and a crushed 'mille-feuille topping' to recreate pastry textures and flavors. Starbucks previously offered a French Vanilla Oatmilk Mille-Feuille Latte in Asia in February 2024, reflecting the dessert's popularity across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.
