Starbucks is bringing familiar seasonal flavors back to its Asia Pacific coffeehouses while adding a new oatmilk-based series built around marshmallow toppings and a mochi-like texture.

The regional holiday lineup features Peppermint Mocha, Toffee Nut Crunch and Jolly Baked Apple Latte, alongside the new Melted Mochi Mallow Oatmilk Series. The rollout began October 27, 2026, although Starbucks says availability and launch timing vary by market.

Familiar flavors return

The returning Holiday Trio covers three different flavor profiles.

Peppermint Mocha pairs chocolate notes with peppermint, while the Toffee Nut Crunch series brings a buttery sweetness. Jolly Baked Apple Latte rounds out the selection with a baked-apple flavor.

Starbucks is positioning the returning drinks around seasonal rituals: meeting friends, sharing conversations and making time for familiar treats during the holidays.

A new combination of texture and toppings

For customers looking beyond the returning drinks, the Melted Mochi Mallow Oatmilk Series introduces two versions.

One uses Starbucks Signature Espresso, while the other features Starbucks Pure Matcha. Both are finished with marshmallow foam, mini marshmallows and chocolate powder.

According to Starbucks, the drinks combine a fluffy topping with a soft, mochi-like element underneath, adding texture to the experience alongside the espresso or matcha base.

What Philippine customers should check

The announcement covers Asia Pacific rather than a single national menu. Its October 27 rollout date should therefore not be treated as confirmation that every featured drink became available in Philippine stores that day.

The regional release does not specify Philippine prices, available sizes or a local end date. Customers can check Starbucks Philippines’ announcements or their preferred coffeehouse for the local selection.

For returning fans, the lineup brings back recognizable holiday flavors. For those seeking something different, the new series offers an espresso-or-matcha choice with marshmallow toppings and an added textural element.
