Starbucks Singapore releases its newest holiday drink, and it is called the Oatmilk Confetti Cookie Latte. The holiday season is quite special, so the coffee chain has also announced its partnership with Line to release various merchandise collections.
Moreover, in addition to the said new beverage, Starbucks Singapore is offering three other holiday drinks that are making a comeback this year. The cafe brand will have the Toffee Nut Crunch Latte, Gingerbread Latte, and Peppermint Mocha in its outlets around Singapore.
According to SG’s Mothership news outlet, the new holiday drinks will remind customers of freshly-baked cookies. The blends will have Starbucks’ signature espresso, oat milk, and toasted white chocolate syrup. The drinks are completed with plant-based whipped cream and sprinkled with colorful sweet confetti.
The special seasonal beverages are available from Dec. 1 onwards, and prices will start at S$7.60 up to S$8.20. In any case, for the collaboration of Starbucks and Line, the coffee chain will unveil the merchandise on Dec. 8, and the items have simply been named the “Starbucks X Line Friends” collection.
The Line items at Starbucks Singapore will only be in stores for a limited time as well. Also, not all outlets in the country may have them, so it is better to check in advance to know which locations are offering the “Starbucks X Line Friends” products.
The collection is vast, so customers have a lot to choose from. There are various lifestyle items that include tumblers, mugs, plush toys, a pouch, and a bag.
They feature the festive colors of the holidays, which are green, red, white, and brown. Then again, it should be noted that the Starbucks X Line Friends items are exclusive for Starbucks Rewards Gold Members only.
“This collaboration brings together Starbucks and LINE FRIENDS’ shared passion for creating meaningful moments and making every day special,” Starbucks Asia Pacific vice president of product and marketing, Erin Silvoy, said in a press release. “This partnership brings our customers merry fun and holiday cheer, along with a new way to connect with loved ones and share a special moment this holiday season.”
Meanwhile, the limited-edition collection is also available in Australia, India, the Philippines, New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, and South Korea. The collection will be sold until supplies last.
