This Year, You Can Order 2 Vegan Holiday Drinks at Starbucks

This holiday season, Starbucks is offering two vegan holiday beverages on its menu. The first is the new Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte, which features gingerbread syrup, olive oil-infused oat milk, and citrusy notes of ginger. The second beverage is the returning Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte, inspired by German sugar cookies and made with almond milk and cookie-flavored syrup.

While Starbucks continues to introduce dairy-free options, activists are urging the company to drop its vegan milk upcharge in the US to promote more eco-friendly milk choices. Starbucks’ carbon footprint mainly comes from dairy consumption, and PETA is calling attention to the environmental impact of cow’s milk production. The company is working towards sustainability goals but continues to face criticism for its handling of plant-based milk options.
