(SPOT.ph) You know Christmas is just around the corner when you see signs that the "red cups" are coming. Starbucks' notorious Christmas blends will be available on November 2 (and selling until January 7), but the coffee chain is already building a lot of anticipation.
Joining the ranks of the elusive Peppermint Mocha and Toffee Nut Latte is a new brew: the Christmas Panettone Latte (P155/Short, P165/Tall, P180/Grande, P190/Venti; Frappuccino P175/Tall, P185/Grande, P195/Venti). Taking its cue from a type of fruit-dotted Italian dessert bread, this luscious number finds a sweeter reward with the addition of dried fruits! It really sounds more like a dessert to us.

CBTL's Toffee Nut
Meanwhile, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has already launched their tasty holiday line. Making a comeback is the now cult classic, vanilla-heavy Winter Dream Tea. CBTL is also introducing their version of a toffee nut latte, a sensational, buttery blend with hints of nut and caramelized sugar.
Other coffee chains like Costa Coffee and Seattle's Best have yet to release their Christmas drinks.
