"The calendar has turned the page to November, the pumpkins have been smashed, and the pumpkin spiced lattes will soon be in the rearview mirror. This means it's time to get serious about the winter holidays and all the food and drinks that come with them. The holiday cheer at Starbucks kicks off on November 6, 2025, when the new menu will finally be available to order."
"While this menu doesn't feature a single new drink, two new food items are joining the fun - a Polar Bear Cake Pop and a Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. While the cake pop is probably more of the usual same yumminess, dressed up in a new winter way, the intriguing item is the introduction of the Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. It is supposed to have croissant-like pieces, cinnamon sugar, and crunchy streusel."
"By appearances, the plump little Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread looked like a sure-fire winner. Housed in a muffin paper wrap, this bread's head is popping out at the top, like a cuddly head of cauliflower in bread form. The top had a wonderful array of encrusted terrain, where various shades of brown intersected, and was punctuated by thick sugar crystals and specks of cinnamon seasoning. I leaned in for a whiff, and although it was visually there, it only had a faint cinnamon scent."
Starbucks begins its 2025 holiday menu on November 6, 2025, with no new drinks and two new food offerings: a Polar Bear Cake Pop and a Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. The Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread is described as having croissant-like pieces, cinnamon sugar, and a crunchy streusel topping. The bread appears plump and is served in a muffin paper wrap, with a top scored by varying browns, thick sugar crystals, and visible cinnamon specks. The cinnamon aroma is faint on first sniff. A preview tasting occurred in Manhattan, and recommendations stem from firsthand impressions and manufacturer-provided products.
