When it comes to festive quotient, the Peppermint Mocha is pretty far up there. Introduced in 2002, this flavor is comprised of rich espresso, chocolate, holiday peppermint, and whipped cream. Originally thought up as a twist on traditional holiday candy, it actually was served with red sugar sprinkles in the early 2000s (definitely prefer the superaddictive chocolate curls it includes now!). This is Starbucks's most popular holiday flavor to date, and honestly, I get it. Like all other holiday flavors, it's available hot, iced, or as a Frappuccino. Craving a new DIY? Make it using this at-home recipe instead.
