A Definitive Ranking Of Each Holiday Drink At Starbucks

It's the most wonderful time of the year: holiday drink season! Every sip tastes like Christmas in a cup, and we are so here for it. Plus, the cups are so merry!

Holiday drinks are substantially better than pumpkin spice and no one can change my mind.

1. Caramel Brûlée Latte 

Espresso, steamed milk, and caramel brûlée sauce topped with whip cream and bits of caramel.

2. Peppermint Mocha 

Honestly, the peppermint mocha and caramel brûlée latte are tied for first. These are my two favorite holiday drinks; I order them on rotation. The best part of this drink is definitely the chocolate curls on top.

You can also order the peppermint mocha as a frappucino, but who drinks cold drinks in the middle of winter?

3. Chestnut Praline Chai Latte 

During every season other than Christmas, chai tea is my go to drink. The chestnut praline chai latte adds a holiday twist that'll make you want to roast chestnuts over an open fire and maybe sing a Christmas carol or two.

4. Chestnut Praline Latte

Basically the same as the drink above, minus the spice and flavor of chai.

5. Holiday Spice Flat White 

In general, a flat white is a really good, simple drink, excluding all the "froofy" ingredients of the other holiday drinks. Simply a classic.

6. Gingerbread Latte

I love the mix of sweet and spice that comes with this drink, plus, the ground nutmeg on top is an added flavor bonus that really makes you feel warm and toasty on the inside.

7. Toasted White Chocolate Mocha 

This drink is a little too much on the sweet side for me, but also I'm not a supporter of traditional white chocolate mocha. Sorry not sorry.

8. Eggnog Latte

Eggnog for sure weirds me out, despite the fact that it is a holiday staple. Not a fan. Again, sorry not sorry.

Happy sipping!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
