Starbucks unveils pink holiday cups as fan favourite drinks return to seasonal menu
The wait is finally over. Starbucks has officially unveiled its new menu items for the holiday season, complete with pink holiday cups. Beginning Thursday 2 November, coffee lovers will be able to order their favourite festive flavours from Starbucks, as well as one brand new drink offering. Making its return for the holiday season is the classic Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte. A new addition to the holiday menu is the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, which takes the nostalgic flavour of gingerbread and combines it with creamy oatmilk and a blend of chai spices. The original Gingerbread Latte launched in 2000, and was a mainstay on the Starbucks holiday menu for nearly two decades. “It’s a love letter to gingerbread and ginger,” said Matt Thornton, senior beverage developer at Starbucks. “The gingerbread flavor amplifies the spice of the chai.” Starbucks stores in the United States that serve Oleato, Starbucks coffee infused with olive oil, will offer another new menu item - the Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte - for a combined flavour similar to freshly baked gingerbread and olive oil cake. “The combination of the Starbucks Blonde Espresso with the steamed oatmilk infused with olive oil is nice and balanced with the gingerbread syrup uplifting all those spice notes,” said Billy Altieri, senior product developer. “It’s cozy and warming with an enjoyable dash of holiday flavors.” To make matters even more festive, the American coffee chain debuted its design for this year’s holiday cups, which include a touch of pink. Bridget Shilling was the artist behind the 2023 holiday cup collection, which comes in four designs: party plaid, peppermint swirl, ribbon spool, and bauble wrap. Meanwhile, iced coffee cups come with ornament-inspired baubles and white sparkles. Each cup also features a gift tag to write notes or share a seasonal sentiment with friends or family. “When we were looking at trends when designing this year’s holiday, we kept seeing bright, bold, uplifting colours,” said Kristy Cameron, creative director at Starbucks. “We found that magenta alongside the holiday reds and greens lifts the traditional holiday colours and makes the red look even brighter.” The theme behind this year’s Starbucks holiday cup collection was “Share the Joy”, highlighting how the “shared human experience and togetherness” is what makes the season so special. “Starbucks red cups are like little wrapped gifts for our partners and customers,” Cameron said. “My hope is that they feel excitement and joy when they see the cups, and that they want to share them with family and friends.” As always, Starbucks included a few festive treats to its holiday menu. The gingerbread loaf, peppermint brownie cake pop, cranberry Bliss Bar, snowman cookie, and the sugar plum cheese danish are sure to get anyone in the holiday mood. Starbucks holiday beverages and pastries are available to order in the US beginning 2 November.

Mother of newborn triplets shares how they react differently after eating
While they might not be easy to tell apart, one mother has captured how differently her three children react after being given the same five ounces of milk. Jocelyn, who goes by the username @lesbi_honest_20 on TikTok, took to the platform to share a video of her triplets - daughters Willow and Eden, and son Juniper - along with the on-screen text: “When the same 5oz hits different.” She then filmed her children one by one, as Juniper was seen crying from still being hungry. Eden was relaxed with her bib on after having a full meal, while Willow managed to fall asleep with her eyes rolled back. “Took this while we waited for more milk to heat up for our hungry Juni boy!” Jocelyn captioned the TikTok. “It’s crazy how much they are growing into three unique individuals. I love learning more about them every day.” Since it was first posted on 19 October, the video has gained more than 11m views, with many people joking about how the triplets are a total representation of their moods. “The three stages of milk drunk,” one commenter joked. “We got the crier, the ‘I might be drunk’, and the one you have to carry home every time.” “Different reviews same restaurant,” another user joked. Some commenters mentioned how much Eden’s sleeping reaction made them laugh, with one commenter writing: “I wasn’t expecting the second one, so I was really surprised by the third.” @lesbihonest_20 Took this while we waited for more milk to heat up for our hungry Juni boy! Its crazy how much they are growing into 3 unique individuals. I love learning more about them ever day. #tripletsoftiktok #tripletmom #newbornbabies #fyp #triplets #tripletlife ♬ original sound - Lesbi_Honest_20 Another commenter agreed, adding: “Omg the third one just transcended.” In an interview with Today, Jocelyn revealed that her triplets’ reactions weren’t that uncommon compared what she’s witnessed before. “Juni is our biggest eater. He can eat and eat and eat. My wife was in the kitchen heating another bottle for him when I started recording,” she told the outlet. Jocelyn explained that the best way to describe baby Eden was exactly like how she acted in the TikTok: “Happy-go-lucky.” As for why baby Willow ended up falling asleep, the mother said it was because of how small she is compared to her siblings. “She’s our little peanut,” Jocelyn called Willow. “Five ounces for her is a lot.” However, she noted that Willow makes up for her small size with her outlandish personality, especially because she’s the oldest. “Willow came out first. She’s been giving side eye since the day she was born, and has to know what is going on with everyone. She’s our nosey Nancy,” Jocelyn told Today. “The NICU nurses used to joke that Willow was judging them!” The triplets’ differences don’t stop with their eating habits either, as Jocelyn mentioned that the babies vary with their sleeping habits too. She explained that Willow is her morning person, Eden is her night person, and Juniper isn’t either and is “somewhere in the middle.” “Eden is up until 2am and then she’s grumpy when she wakes up and won’t even look at you until after 11,” Jocelyn said. “It’s actually kind of funny. That girl is not a morning person.” The Independent has reached out to Jocelyn for comment.
