Starbucks's New Christmas Tree Frapp May Be a Weird-AF Flavor Combo, but It Works

Dec 11 2017 - 9:25am

Happy, happy holidays, friends! Starbucks's new Christmas Tree Frappuccino [1] is now available for a very limited time only. Starting today, you can get the very festive drink, which starts with a Peppermint Mocha Crème Frappuccino base and is topped with matcha whipped cream and decorated with caramel drizzle, candied cranberries, and a strawberry tree topper.

This fun new drink not only looks adorable in photos [2] but also tastes just as good as it looks, despite what sounds like an odd combination of flavors. You can't go wrong with a Peppermint Mocha Crème Frappuccino, especially during the Winter season, and the matcha whipped cream adds a subtle nuttiness to the drink when it melts down in. And while my drink came without the caramel drizzle, the fruit toppings added texture and, most of all, a fun dose of color.

Starbucks nailed this flavor combo [3], and we predict it'll go over much better than some of the wacky fruit concoctions of yesteryear. (Please don't bring back the Unicorn Frappuccino [4]!)
