Celebrate the Holidays with Starbucks: Festive Beverages and Joyful Connections

As the holiday season approaches, Starbucks Japan is ready to spread cheer with its new offerings debuting on November 1, 2025. This year’s festive theme, “JOYFUL MEDLEY - Connecting through Joy -,” emphasizes connection and the joy that comes from sharing experiences with one another. Starbucks aims to create smiles across communities by introducing limited-edition drinks that capture the spirit of the season.

Introducing the New Holiday Beverages

Two unique holiday beverages will be available to warm your heart and elevate your spirits: the Strawberry & Joyful Medley Tea Frappuccino® and the Strawberry Mousse & Joyful Medley Tea Latte. The former combines the beloved Joyful Medley Tea, a blend of robust black tea, refreshing oolong tea, and fragrant jasmine tea, with delightful strawberry pieces. The Frappuccino is garnished with whipped cream and freeze-dried strawberries for added festive flair.

The Joyful Medley Tea Frappuccino®

This refreshing drink features the iconic Joyful Medley Tea as its base, complemented by chunks of whole strawberries that bring a burst of flavor in every sip. The sweet and tart taste of the strawberries, combined with the aromatic notes of the tea, creates a delightful experience that captures the joy of the holiday season. Perfect for sharing, this beverage is sure to bring smiles and a festive spirit.

Additionally, Starbucks introduces customizable Holiday-themed Cookies as toppings for the Frappuccino and other iced beverages. Customers can enjoy a surprise by randomly selecting from four cookie designs—ribbon, snowman, bear, and doll—to add a unique touch to their drinks.

The Strawberry Mousse & Joyful Medley Tea Latte

While the Frappuccino is packed with summer's essence, the Strawberry Mousse & Joyful Medley Tea Latte presents a rich blend of flavors. This drink combines a luxurious strawberry mousse layer with strong tea flavors, delivering a smooth and fruity experience. The robustness of the Joyful Medley Tea shines through, ensuring that each sip is as satisfying as the last.

Treat Yourself with a Strawberry Cheesecake

Alongside these delightful beverages, Starbucks will be offering a seasonal Strawberry-flavored Cheesecake.
