Finally, a Guide to the Perfect ’90s Songs for Every Moment of Your Wedding

You love the ‘90s. You’re the gal or guy that never got rid of their Doc Martens, smiley face backpack and collection of hemp chokers. And now you’re getting married. So let’s make this an occasion your middle school self would be proud of. Presenting the ultimate guide to the perfect ‘90s songs for every moment of your wedding.

Props to my girl (and Brit + Co designer) Annie Kubena for taking my ‘90s love to a whole new level with these badass illustrations. Now, let’s pump up these jams! You’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.

“Dreams” by The Cranberries: Your wedding day is a real-life dream. When I was in 5th grade, my neighbor/bestie Jacquie and I set up a lemonade stand at the end of our street. We wore matching blue and white striped tops from the Gap. We had my mom park her car in the driveway just past the lemonade stand, and we blasted The Cranberries’ 1993 album “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We,” and we had the BEST DAY EVER. Dreams can come true, and this song will instantly put you on cloud nine.

BRIDE + BRIDESMAIDS GETTING READY

“Just a Girl” by No Doubt: This anthemic song by then-ska band No Doubt was just what ‘90s girls needed way back when. We all wanted to be girly but still tough, feminine but not frilly — and front-woman Gwen Stefani captured this dichotomy perfectly. And, on your wedding day, it makes an excellent soundtrack for sipping mimosas with the most important ladies in your life. If we want to take it there, I could also point out that this moment happens to be the last point at which you are a Miss and not a Mrs., and arguably, just a girl :)

“Move This (Shake That Body)” by Technotronic: Remember that Revlon commercial where Cindy Crawford romps on the beach with her supermodel friends to this song? If you need a refresher, here it is. Glorious, right? Busting a move to this track is a stellar way to shake off any pre-wedding jitters.

“Welcome to Paradise” by Green Day: Dudes. Cranking Green Day is the best. Rock out to this while taking a sip of celebratory whiskey with your bros, and feel free to bust out your air guitar.

GROOM + GROOMSMEN GETTING READY

“In the Meantime” by Spacehog: It was a toss up between this and “Possum Kingdom” by The Toadies, but I decided the storyline of this song is way more appropriate for a day dedicated to love. The appropriately space age intro that leads into a series of woos sets a solidly chill vibe for your pre-wedding hang sash.

“Two Princes” by Spin Doctors: I do want to call you baby, I do want to tell you maybe, I do want to buy you flowers and I definitely want to talk for hours. Just go ahead now.

“Lovefool” by The Cardigans: No one will ever forget that god-awful cry Claire Danes let out while playing Juliet in Baz Luhrmann’s take on the bard’s ultimate romantic tragedy. But this dark and hip adaptation of R&J also gave us the gift of the song, “Lovefool,” and that magical interlude between Leo, er, Romeo, and Juliet in those gorgeous castle bathroom mirrors. Set the stage for the wedding like the beautiful angel princess you are, girl.

BRIDE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE

“(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You” by UB40: This reggae-inspired rendition of Elvis Presley’s 1961 ballad kind of makes me weak in the knees. I know it’s beyond cheesy, but I don’t know, it’s got a special je ne sais quoi that manages to work. An instrumental version of this would slay on the runway of your wedding.

“Stay” by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories: Feel free to close your eyes and nod to the beat in agreement with the ‘90s realness of this track. And if you’re rocking hipster specs as you stroll down the aisle, more power to you.

“Tonight, Tonight” by Smashing Pumpkins: James Iha, D’Arcy, the drummer whose name I forget and good old Billy Corgan — all our besties dressed in weird period clothing playing music in clouds while floating in the sky. Wasn’t this video the best? Like, so truly weird but, therefore, so truly ‘90s. And though *all* the lyrics don’t quite fit the wedding bill, some are right on the money: “The indescribable moments of your life tonight, the impossible is possible tonight, believe in me as I believe in you, tonight.” So bright.

NEWLYWEDS WALKING UP THE AISLE

“All I Wanna Do” by Sheryl Crow: Old school Sheryl Crow was cool. She was legit, and even my Megadeth fan of a brother was into her when “Tuesday Night Music Club” dropped. He even included this very track on a mixtape alongside grungier hits like “Backwater” by the Meat Puppets and “More Human Than Human” by White Zombie. But back to your wedding — how fun would this be for grooving with your boo right after you say “I do”?

“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer: First off, you need to incorporate stairs into the aisle of your wedding so you can recreate that so-perfectly-90s-teen-movie scene from “She’s All That” when Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook) reveals her newly made over self to ‘90s hunk Freddie Prinze, Jr. Okay, so now that you’ve got the stairs on lock, you’ll need to follow this up with a choreographed dance to “The Rockafeller Skank” by Fatboy Slim at your wedding reception.

“I’ll Be There For You” by The Rembrandts: Your original family will always be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. You know? Bonus points if you include a velvet couch and colorful umbrellas as props in your wedding photo booth. Even more bonus points if you’re so committed to the ‘90s that you decide to don the Rachel as your ‘do.

FAMILY PHOTOS

“Virtual Insanity” by Jamiroquai: This feel-good tune is great for this part of your big day because it’s pretty darn groovy. Parents, grandparents and even little kiddos can easily get down to a little Jamiroquai. Plus, if you have an invisible moving walkway at your wedding, you can totally recreate this trippy music video.

“Unbelievable” by EMF: The day is unbelievable, and so are you. And having all of your very best friends and family in one place smiling for the camera? UNBELIEVABLE.

“Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star: If you were born in the ‘80s and were a child/tween/teen of the ‘90s, then you have definitely dreamed about slow dancing to this song with your Miss or Mister Right. You with your long, unruly hair tucked under a Stussy beanie, floral bodysuit under a pair of overalls, your partner rocking a pair of JNCOs complemented by combat boots — you know the scene and this song is the soundtrack. It’s possibly the most swoon-worthy love song of the entire decade.

FIRST DANCE

“More Than Words” by Extreme: The world of headbangers and hair bands was turned right on its head when Boston-based hard rock band Extreme crushed the charts with this soulful, acoustic power ballad. Some 25 years later (feel old yet?), this song has a tendency to feel corny. But to us true believers, it still gets at your soul.

“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” by Bryan Adams: ‘90s era Kevin Costner was a babe and so was Bryan Adams. So when the two of them decided to blow our minds and be involved in ONE sublimely ‘90s movie, we bowed our heads in utter gratitude. Crank up the volume, embrace your inner Maid Marian and sway the night away with your very own Robin Hood.

“Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-N-Effect: All I wanna do is zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom and a poom-poom. ‘Nuff said.

DANCE BREAK

“Pony” by Ginuwine: You can blame or thank Channing Tatum for taking this song to a new level in present-day pop culture, but you can’t deny the fact that this song is a must. It’s a slow jam that calls for dropping low, and we can definitely get behind that.

“Hypnotize” by Notorious B.I.G.: When Julia Stiles took to the dining table at that totally typical high school house party in “10 Things I Hate About You,” we all took note. Even though it was followed by a less than charming display on a wooden swing, it solidified this song’s presence on all party playlists.

“Be My Lover” by La Bouche: This, along with all the songs in this dance break, was absolutely on my wedding request list. That is mostly because my husband, his dad and his brothers all light up the dance floor the moment this song comes on. For real. If this is a vibe you want to take further, feel free to cue up Jock Jams or Dance Mix USA (both of which I still currently own on compact disc).

“Groove Is in the Heart” by Deee-lite: I took a quiz in Seventeen magazine when I was 12 to find out what my song personality was. The answer? “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-lite. That’s right. I am this song.

“The Humpty Dance” by Digital Underground: What exactly is the Humpty Hump? Well, I’m glad you asked.

First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shaking and twitching kinda like I was smoking
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty

“Poison” by Bell Biv Devoe: By now, everyone’s on the dance floor. Your cousin who’s at your wedding sans spouse and kids is feeling particularly loose and is ready to lead a rap breakdown, courtesy of Bell Biv Devoe.

“This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan: We’re at the point in the night where people are feeling really confident about their dance moves, so it’s the ideal time to bring Montell Jordan into the mix. If you’ve got a sizable twenty- and thirty-something crew, you can bet this song will result in a dance circle.

“Jump Around” by House of Pain: Drinks are gonna spill, but it will be worth it. We promise. Dubbed “the kind of sh*t you can put a lampshade on your head and act an idiot to” by House of Pain member Danny Boy, this track is a party classic. Even Mrs. Doubtfire agrees.

“Shoop” by Salt-N-Pepa: If you don’t know every single word to this song, then you are not a female who came of age in the ‘90s. If you do know all the words, then you know how ridiculously fun they are to sing along to with all of your bffs on a mic at a wedding… or at a karaoke bar. Or just, you know, at your house every night before you go to bed.

“Supermodel” by Jill Sobule: Tonight is YOUR night. You’re gonna be a supermodel, you’re gonna catch the bouquet and you’re gonna get married next. Done and done.

BOUQUET TOSS

: You

pack a pair of overalls for your late night outfit change? Weak sauce, homeslice. The Mack Daddy would not be very impressed. But he will make you jump, jump.

LATE NIGHT DANCE PARTY

“Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot: You probs want to save this until after the older generation has hit the hay, unless they’re all about that bass. This iconic booty call of a song set the stage for a generation that appreciates curves in a major way. It wasn’t subtle in its message — considering the video had Sir Mix-a-Lot rapping and dancing on butt mountains…

“Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg: This is the quintessential late night track. You have to make a judgement call and make sure that your guests are feeling the smooth vibes along with the funky ones. If you put this on too early in the night, it can be a party killer. If it’s just late enough, it’s an easy breezy track for getting a drink refill while still feeling like a badass. You’ll also learn who you should become better friends with based on who knows all the words.

“Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey: My best gals from college and I may have a problem with this song. We sing it at pretty much any wedding, birthday party or dinner where three or more of us are present. But here’s the thing: We’re not unique. This song is SO ridiculously singable that it brings the house down no matter what crowd you’re in.

NOSTALGIC SINGALONG

“Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows: Don’t scoff. You know you had the album “August and Everything After,” and you thought it was pretty deep back in the day. When the Counting Crows first hit the scene, they were seemingly grunge. I know it seems preposterous now. After all, this song has way more in common with Rusted Root’s “Send Me On My Way” than anything off of Nirvana’s “Nevermind.” But it’s true, and this song felt like just the singalong we were looking for. Admittedly, I deemed myself too cool for the Counting Crows from about 1999 to 2011. Then I realized that this is one of the most excellent singalong songs of all time, and a great track to bust out on karaoke night.

“Buddy Holly” by Weezer: Now that you’ve hit the emotional highs for the night, it’s time to rock out. This happy-go-lucky alternative song was when Weezer really got us. The “Happy Days”-inspired video put the Fonz back on the map and made hipster bros in vintage suits seem totally handsome. And honestly, what’s with these homies dissing my girl? Why do they gotta front?

“Return to Innocence” by Enigma: Nothing shuts a party down like a track that was featured on the made-for-TV compilation, “Pure Moods.” If your friends are anything like mine, this is what will happen. The song will start, people will look at you like you’re crazy and then they’ll take a big swig of whatever they’re drinking and let themselves fall prey to interpretive dance. The return to innocence. Ohh iiiiiii eeee iiiii yyyeeaaaahh ooooh ah yi ahhhhh.

SHUT THE PARTY DOWN

“Kiss from a Rose” by Seal: Thanks to Enigma, you’ve set the mood. Now you need to give the people what they want. The “Batman Forever” soundtrack catapulted this song into the pop stratosphere, and was possibly the only good thing to come out of that terrible, terrible movie. Sorry Val Kilmer, you are just NOT Batman.

“Closing Time” by Semisonic: Bring the house down with the best end-of-the-night song in all of musical existence. And then drop the freaking mic.

Love this ‘90s compendium as much as we do? Bookmark the Spotify playlist right here.

Wait a minute. Are you thinking to yourself, what about Britney, Christina, ‘NSync and the Backstreet Boys? They’re for another list, and my ‘83-born, flannel-wearing, Tupac-lyric-memorizing self is simply not the expert. Sorryyyyyy (said in that really obnoxious ‘90s teen way where you don’t actually mean it). Peace out.

If you grew up during the 90s, chances are you're very familiar with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Besides David and Victoria Beckham, this couple is the reason most millennials believe that love really can last 'forever.' They're both well-respected actors who've starred in cult favorites like I Know What You Did Last Summer and She's All That, plus Sarah starred in the cult-classic show Buffy, The Vampire Slayer. Knowing they've cracked the relationship longevity code brings a smile to this millennial's face.

Can't help but fangirl over Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. either? Let's take a trip down memory lane to revisit their relationship timeline!

1997: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s First Introduction

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. officially met while they were working on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, as reported by People. That's something I never really considered back then so this news makes my heart sing! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love watching it even though it's a killer flick.

1999: Sarah Makes a Quick Appearance in She's All That

It's not 100% clear if they were romantically interested in each other a couple of years later, but Sarah did make an appearance in She's All That. The film's director, Robert Iscove, opened up to Cosmopolitan about how her cameo happened in 2015. "She was there visiting Freddie and we asked her if she would come and do it, and she said she would come and do it, but she wouldn't speak. She wouldn't say any lines."

January 2000: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr.'s First Date

The funny thing about their first date is that they weren't actually planning on going on one. They were just friends at the time and a last-minute cancellation turned into something more. Sarah told People Now, " "We were friends for a very long time. We'd had many dinners before. And we were supposed to go with someone else, and the third person didn't make it out and we decided to still go," she recalled.

April 2001: Their Accidental First Date Leads to an Engagement

Fate must've known something Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. didn't because they ended up getting engaged during the spring of 2001. ABC News shared that they announced the news during Gellar's birthday party.

September 2002: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Make It Official

The beautiful couple said "I Do" during a lovely ceremony in Mexico, according to People. Their friend Cathy Waterman — designer of their wedding bands — said, "They're on the same channel" and "This is one in which you go, 'This is going to last.'"

I'm sure she's glad to know her prediction has been proven many times over!

April 2009 — September 2009: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Enter Parenthood

In 2009 Sarah Michelle and Freddie Prinze Jr. not only announced they were preparing to welcome their first child, but they later did just that. Their daughter Charlotte Grace Prinze was born right before summer ended and we can only imagine how overjoyed the couple was.

April 2012: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Announce Their Second Pregnancy

Three years after announcing they were expecting their first child, People found out the couple were ready to expand with the announcement of their second pregnancy. A source reportedly said, "They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply."

September 2012: Sarah Michelle Gellar Gives Birth To a Son

Similar to their daughter's arrival, the couple's son — Rocky James Prinze — was born in September 2012.

"Rocky, on the day you were born, I swear my heart tripled in size," she partially wrote in the caption.

September 2017: The Couple Celebrates 15 Years of Marriage

Time flies when you're having fun love each other which brings a smile to my face when thinking about Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Sarah actually shared a touching video on Instagram that perfectly captured the happy couple throughout the years. Each photo in the video includes the year it was taken which really puts their relationship into perspective.

November 2019: Freddie Prinze, Jr. Opens Up About His Love For Cooking

It's long been rumored that women are the only ones who enjoy cooking, but that's not the case for Sarah Michelle Gellar. Freddie Prinze, Jr. told People in 2019 that he's the one who throws down in the kitchen. "It's never a hassle for me to cook dinner because I like it," he freely admitted.

This is so similar to my household because I know how to cook enough to survive, but I prefer to let my S.O. plan our meals. Sorry, not sorry!

October 2022: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Are All About Their Kids Enjoying Their Youth

If you think this couple wants their children actively on social media, think again. She opened up about one of the rules she and Freddie have in place that seem worlds away from what's considered the 'norm.' "Our rules are probably stricter than most. Our kids don't have social media," she told So Mini Ways, Yahoo's Parenting series.

I know some people feel that kids should have access to things, but I'm on the fence about it now that I have a toddler. I remember what it's like having unlimited and unchecked access to the internet so I'm not sure if I'd want my kids to come across some of the things I did.

It may be controversial, but I applaud Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. for making this decision.

January 2023: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Hit the Red Carpet for Wolf Pack

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. looked amazing while posing for pictures on Wolf Pack's red carpet. Her floral mini dress by Oscar de la Renta made me want to buy something similar even if I knew I probably wouldn't find it.

September 2023: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. Celebrate 21 Years of Married Life

I can't believe I'm typing this, but Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr. celebrated 21 years of marriage last year. That means this couple has been going strong for two decades!

Sarah took to Instagram again to celebrate their love with a throwback picture from their wedding day on Instagram and my jaw is still on the floor.

If you need more proof that the couple are still very much in love, here's a more recent pic that Sarah shared on Instagram from earlier in the year. She's "Still celebrating and spoiling" Freddie years later, and I think it goes without saying that he loves it there.

Sigh the bar has been set HIGH, and I can't wait to see how they continue to grow with time.

November 2024: Freddie Prinze, Jr. Reveals The One Celebrity Experience They're "Good At Avoiding"

Despite the fact that paparazzi love to see (and often follow) celebrity couples, Freddie just revealed how he and Sarah have been able to keep things low-key. When Oldish's podcast co-host Randy Spelling asked how they stay out of the public — and how intentional they have to be to keep a low profile — Freddie said it's "by choice," and that "you can control it to a certain degree."

"I don't know how deliberate [others] are in trying to avoid that BS," he said on the podcast. "I know how easy it's been for us because I don't go anywhere. I don't go to parties. People don't see Sarah and I out and about at the popular places. We have our restaurants that we like, and they're not super trendy in places where paparazzi hang out. So we're good at avoiding it."

If Gilmore Girls andThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have shown me anything, it's that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino always has an incredible story up her sleeve. Her new show Étoile, which is coming to Prime Video, promises to be a beautiful and sophisticated look at the world of dance, and if the fact that it's from Amy wasn't enough reason to watch it, it's also Prime's first new show to get a two-season order! Here's everything we know about the series.

What is the next Sherman Palladino show?

Following our beloved Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Dan and Amy Sherman-Palladino's next series is Étoile, which is set at two world-famous ballet companies in New York City and Paris. When both companies run into some trouble, the decide to swap their most talented stars in a last-ditch effort to save themselves.

And based on the first set leaks from New York City, it looks like Étoile will definitely be packing on the drama. This short clip shows Luke Kirby standing outside Lincoln Center in a serious conversation (probably about the fate of his ballet company, TBH).

"Well, guess that plan for early retirement will have to wait," Dan and Amy said in a joint statement (via The Hollywood Reporter). "Instead, we’ve decided to embark on an international journey with an unbelievable group of players and the most talented ballet dancers in the world. We will sleep when we’re dead."

But this isn't the first time ASP has forayed into the world of ballet! Her ABC Family series Bunheads (which premiered on June 11, 2012) follows Michelle (Sutton Foster) who moves to her hometown of Paradise and starts working at her mother-in-law's dance studio The Paradise Dance Academy. The best part is that the role of Michelle's mother-in-law is played by Emily Gilmore herself, Kelly Bishop!

When does Étoile premiere?

Anya Juárez Tenorio/Pexels

We don't have an official release date yet, but considering THR recently revealed the show will finish filming soon, we're hoping to see Étoile in 2025. Just like Gilmore Girls is the ultimate fall rewatch, maybe Étoile will be the ultimate winter rewatch!

Who's in the Étoile cast?

So far, we know that Étoile will star Luke Kirby, Gideon Glick, Camille Cottin, Simon Callow, Lou de Laâge, and David Alvarez. Yanic Truesdale, who played our favorite Gilmore Girls concierge Michel, has also joined the series as a recurring character! I'm so excited to see Yanic working with Amy Sherman-Palladino again — it's like a Gilmore Girls reunion!

What does Étoile mean?

Jeremy Thomas/Unsplash

Étoile translates to "star," and there are so many different connections here! We have the ballet stars themselves, but you also wish upon a star and reach for the stars when you're working towards a dream. If you ask me, Étoile is the perfect name for this series.

How many episodes does Étoile have?

Merve Sehirli Nasir/Unsplash

The first season of Étoile will have eight episodes total, but considering Prime Video ordered two seasons, we'll definitely be getting more episodes.

Are you excited to watch Étoile? Check back here for the latest news on the series, and stay updated on your favorite TV shows and movies on our Facebook!

So long, pumpkin spice season: Starbucks’ holiday menu is on the way, and per menu leaks, it reportedly brings back a ton of seasonal favorites starting next week.

From a classic Peppermint Mocha to the beloved Caramel Brûlée Latte, the recent menu rumors say a new Refresher flavor, 6 unique cold foams, and 4 new bakery items are on the way as the holidays draw near – including many items we predicted! The speculated lineup is honestly wild. Starbucks teased that the holiday menu will hit stores on November 7.

If you just can’t wait to order off the Starbucks holiday menu, here’s every offering reportedly coming to your closest cafe!

When will the Starbucks holiday drinks for 2024 come out?

Starbucks

According to an Instagram post from Starbucks, new holiday drinks and snacks will come out on November 7, 2024.

Will there be holiday cups?

Starbucks

Yes, the Starbucks holiday menu will include some new holiday cup designs! You can peek at all the new designs for 2024 here.

What's missing from this year's rumored Starbucks holiday menu?

Starbucks

Per rumors around the Starbucks holiday menu, the Eggnog Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, and Gingerbread Loaf won't be returning to cafes for 2024. We're especially sad to see the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha not included, though the official menu lineup has yet to be released!

When is Starbucks Red Cup Day 2024?

Starbucks

Though there's no official word out about Red Cup Day for 2024, our best guess – based on the Red Cup Days of years past – is it'll return mid-November. In 2023, Red Cup Day fell on November 16. In 2022, the coffee chain held the event on November 17. Both dates landed on the third Thursday of November, so we predict it to hit on November 21 for 2024. Red Cup Day is when Starbucks customers can get a free reusable red cup when they order a seasonal drink off the holiday menu.

Drinks On The Starbucks Holiday Menu 2024

@markie_devo

NEW! Cran-Merry Orange Refresher

The Starbucks holiday menu leak reported that this brand-new Refresher is packed with sweet orange, tart cranberry and warm spice. It also has cranberry inclusions and is order-able mixed with water, lemonade or coconut milk.

Starbucks

Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai

Chai is a totally underrated holiday flavor in our opinion. This iced drink is crafted with warm chai spices and creamy oat milk, then gets topped with even more frothed oat milk infused with gingerbread-flavored syrup and a sprinkling of spice.

Starbucks

Peppermint Mocha

You know it, and you love it! The Peppermint Mocha has hit Starbucks menus year after year, making it a total statement sip for the holiday season. This drink (available hot or iced) combines peppermint syrup, mocha sauce, and your milk of choice with espresso for a festive feel. It's traditionally topped with whipped cream and tasty chocolate curls.

Starbucks

Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha

Similar to the classic Peppermint Mocha, this bev swaps chocolate for white chocolate sauce.

Starbucks

Caramel Brûlée Latte

This rumored Starbucks holiday menu drink is very rich. The sweet caramel brûlée sauce totally completes the sip, along with plenty of whipped cream and crunchy lil' brûlée bits for textural variety.

Starbucks

Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte

Literally like a sugar cookie in liquid form, this super-sweet latte is handcrafted with blonde espresso (it's sweeter and lighter than Starbucks' traditional espresso shots), sugar cookie syrup, and almond milk for a little bit of a lighter effect. It's finished off with red and green sprinkles to up the seasonal vibes even more!

Starbucks

Chestnut Praline Latte

This nutty latte – rumored to return for 2024 – brings on notes of chestnut and praline, which is a nice, flavorful departure from the very expected peppermint you'll see everywhere come holiday time.

Starbucks

Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew

Initially introduced for fall 2024, it appears as though the Salted Pecan Crunch Cold Brew will stay on the Starbucks menu well into winter. The salted, pecan-flavored cold foam offers that classic sweet n' salty twist you'd enjoy on fall snacks like trail mix or dipped pretzels. The best part is you can now also order the cold foam in non-dairy form!

Starbucks

Holiday Cold Foams

Per the menu leak, Starbs will be bringing back four beloved holiday-flavored cold foamsand two new options for 2024. They're the perfect drink customization to add to your iced coffees and cold brews if you don't want to order an all-out holiday drink. See all the predicted flavors below:

  • NEW! Gingerbread
  • NEW! Salted Pecan
  • Peppermint Chocolate
  • Sugar Cookie
  • Chestnut Praline
  • Caramel Brûlée

Snacks On The Starbucks Holiday Menu 2024

@markie_devo

NEW! Dark Toffee Bundt

Per the menu leak, this sweet toffee-flavored bundt will be topped with holly- and berry-shaped sprinkles. How perfect for the holiday season!

@markie_devo

NEW! Turkey Sage Danish

This savory snack reportedly includes "turkey sausage with creamy béchamel sauce in a pastry." It sounds like Thanksgiving in a single treat, and we can't wait to try it!

@markie_devo

NEW! Penguin Cookie

This cutie sugar cookie is decorated like a lil' penguin bundled up for the cold.

Starbucks

Snowman Cake Pop

Starbucks' classic vanilla cake pop gets a wintry twist with an adorable snowman face – this sweet really makes us crave the holiday season!

Starbucks

Sugar Plum Cheese Danish

This cream cheese-filled danish is topped with a slightly-spiced sugar plum jam. It's been one of our go-to's over the past few holiday seasons at Starbucks!

Starbucks

Cranberry Bliss Bar

The Cranberry Bliss Bar has become an absolute staple on the Starbucks holiday menu, and for good reason! This blondie treat is smothered in a delicious cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with orange zest and dried cranberries for added seasonal enjoyment.

What People Are Saying About The Leaked Starbucks Holiday Menu

Though most commenters on @markie_devo's Starbucks holiday menu leak post seemed to be excited for the upcoming rumored menu items, some Starbs fans noticed a few things missing from the leaked lineup.

"Still missing eggnog 😢," someone noted.

"Where is the toasted white chocolate mocha 😢😢😢😢," another questioned.

"ALLLLLL these cold foams, and not the one people want: Irish Cream," one more commenter said.

"Ugh still no gingerbread loaf 😭," a disappointed user wrote. "Everything else looks bomb though!"

Despite the Eggnog Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, and Gingerbread loaf not being part of this year's menu predictions, the holiday season is our favorite time of year at Starbucks. Many more users shared the same sentiment:
