Starbucks Launched New Valentine's-Themed Drinks Inspired by Chocolatey Desserts

With the release of a new, holiday-themed drink duo, it appears there's a new couple of the year from Starbucks this Valentine's Day.

The coffee chain introduced two limited-edition festive choices in stores across the U.S. and Canada, available starting January 30 through February 14. In celebration of the holiday, both are inspired by the most classic of holiday treats: chocolate.

Starbucks Valentine's Drink Lineup

Although we're in the thick of winter, Starbucks's Valentine's drinks are both served cold, with a Frappuccino and Cold Brew making up the duo.

The Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino blends flavors from everyone's favorite romantic dessert with a swirl of mocha chips. Keeping with the theme, ordering the Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew gets you a silky cold brew sweetened with hazelnut syrup. For an extra-special touch, it's topped with chocolate cream cold foam and cookie crumbles. 

If you’re traveling this Valentine’s Day, here’s what you can try at international cafes (and we’ll be here pretending we don't have FOMO!):

• Latin America and the Caribbean: Cupid Cream Shaken Tea Strawberry & Hibiscus; Cupid Frappuccino Strawberry and Mint
• China: Beloved! Cocoa Raspberry Flavored Mocha
• Japan: Rouge Opera Frappuccino Blended Cream
• Europe, Middle East, and Africa: Golden Caramel White Hot Chocolate
• Asia Pacific: Mocha Kiss

Other Seasonal Starbucks Items to Enjoy

Don’t forget, Starbucks now has their headline-making Oleato coffee available at all locations across the country, made richer by the addition of olive oil to both hot and cold drinks. Or if a winter cold has you down, pick up a medicine ball tea to make you feel better. And check out the Starbucks winter breakfast menu, which features the new Potato, Cheddar & Chive Bakes and Chicken, Maple Butter & Egg Sandwich, to start your day off in a satisfyingly-savory way.

If you want to sweeten the deal this Valentine’s Day, pick up a limited-edition, tri-color cold cup or a festively-floral mug for drinking your hot home-brewed java when the weather gets too blustery to head to your local cafe (or to give as part of a coffee-themed gift).

These Valentine’s Day drinks are available for a limited time, so don’t miss your chance to share them with a loved one this February 14.
