Starbucks Taiwan has kicked off the holiday season early this year with the theme "GIVE GOOD 传递美好" (Give Good, Spread Goodness). On November 3, in sync with Starbucks globally, it launched a distinctive "Festive Holiday Cup" that differs from previous years. Meanwhile, all stores across Taiwan have introduced a colorful and diverse array of over a hundred festive choices for the season, including popular seasonal beverages, pastries, coffee beans, packaged foods, themed merchandise, household items, and coffee equipment.

1. Must-Have: Festive Holiday Cups
The annual release of Starbucks’ holiday cups is always highly anticipated. Unlike the traditional red holiday cups, this year Starbucks has aligned with the "GIVE GOOD 传递美好" (Give Good, Spread Goodness) theme, launching hand-painted canvas-style holiday cups that convey the concept of sharing goodness. The idea is to use the cup as a blank canvas to inspire the imagination of spreading joy and to encourage customers to create and record their own “GIVE GOOD” stories on the cup.

2. Two Must-Try Lattes
The much-missed "Toffee Almond Latte" makes a limited return this season. A classic espresso paired with sweet toffee syrup and milk, sprinkled with toffee crunch, becomes the most anticipated taste of the holidays. This year’s limited-edition holiday drinks also include the festive "Vanilla Nougat Latte," which combines classic espresso with smooth milk and a delightful vanilla nut fudge sauce, topped with whipped cream drizzled with mixed berry sauce and nougat pieces—delivering a sweet warmth perfect for the season.

3. Must-Eat: Dreamy Desserts
For food, the lineup includes savory options such as "Pesto Beef Focaccia" and "French Beef Sandwich," as well as festive sweets like the classic "Mont Blanc Chestnut Tart" and the silky "German Baked Custard." Also making a return is the ever-popular Starbucks Pudding, which gained social media fame this summer. For the holidays, it’s dressed up as a "Chocolate Pudding," made with premium chocolate brand VALRHONA’s famous Guanaja chocolate, and comes in four festive holiday cup designs.
