Starbucks isn't bringing back the Eggnog Latte again this year and people aren't happy
‘Tis the season for some Starbucks holiday drink menu disappointment because some Canadians aren’t too happy that the beloved Eggnog Latte won’t return again this year.
The coffee giant announced its much-anticipated holiday drink and treat menu today, which features the new Iced Gingerbread Oat Chai, as well as four festive favourites: the Peppermint Mocha, the Caramel Brûlé Latte, the Chestnut Praline Latte, and the Sugar Cookie Oat Latte.
The holiday drinks and treats will be available in Starbucks Canada stores on November 2.

But fans of the Eggnog Latte — which was taken off the menu in 2021 — were quick to hop on social media to express their frustration that the drink wasn’t making a comeback this year.
“Seriously @StarbucksCanada … NO EGGNOG LATTE again? Well, I guess I go elsewhere for yet another year for my fix, see you in January,” wrote one disgruntled Starbucks customer on X.

“The Starbucks holiday drink list just gets worse every year,” commented another.

Eggnog is too much to handle but olive oil and chai gingerbread? Sure why not. https://t.co/lda6UMx4CA

Some folks even took to X earlier in the month to ask the coffee chain to bring back the drink for this year’s holiday season.
@StarbucksCanada @StarbucksCare Please tell me that the Eggnog Latte will be returning this year

This disappointment continued on Instagram, where folks left comments about another year without the Eggnog Latte not being on the menu.
“There is no eggnog… another year of going to the competition for my coffee,” wrote one Instagram user.
