New items include Cranberry Energy with Coconutmilk Cold Foam and Cranberry Dark Chocolate Espresso Shaker, alongside the return of fan-favorites like the Ho Ho Mint Mocha® and Vanilla Oat Nog Latte

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caribou Coffee®, a global premium coffeehouse, announced the return of its holiday menu, featuring a delightful mix of fan favorites and exciting new additions. Starting Saturday, November 2, guests can order from a wide variety of handcrafted beverages, including innovative energy drinks, non-dairy options, and classic holiday flavors.

The fresh new flavor debuting this holiday season in energy drinks and espresso shakers is cranberry. The Cranberry Energy with Coconutmilk Cold Foam offers a refreshing boost with tart cranberry flavors, complemented by the creamy texture of non-dairy coconutmilk cold foam. For a bolder option, the Cranberry Dark Chocolate Espresso Shaker features rich espresso combined with dark chocolate and cranberry, offering a unique and indulgent holiday twist.

Returning fan favorites include the rich Ho Ho Mint Mocha® and Spicy Mocha, alongside the crowd-pleasing Vanilla Oat Nog Latte and Vanilla Oat Nog Crafted Press. Following their successful launch last year, Caribou is excited to bring back the Vanilla Oat Nog Latte and Vanilla Oat Nog Crafted Press for a non-dairy twist on traditional egg nog. Made with creamy, vegan-friendly, non-dairy oat nog, these beverages provide a delicious alternative for those seeking plant-based options this season.

"We're thrilled to introduce something new and exciting this holiday season that reflects Caribou Coffee's commitment to industry-leading innovation and quality," said Matt Reiter, Senior Vice President of Product and Procurement at Caribou Coffee. "This year, we've seen great success with seasonal offerings, from the Honey Lavender Espresso Shaker in spring, to our refreshing Honeycrisp Apple Energy Drink in fall. Building on that momentum, we're excited to add cranberry to our popular energy drink and espresso shaker platforms, bringing a quintessential holiday flavor to our menu. We're confident the new additions, alongside our beloved classics, will make this season even more special for our guests."
