The coffee chain announced its autumn menu in September and pumpkin spice lovers have been enjoying the cold brew and hot drink variations since.
But it’s time for Starbucks fans to get ready for Christmas as the festive menu is set to hit stores from November 3.
Although customers can get early access to the new range via the app from today.
You can find your nearest Starbucks store online or the drinks will also be available on delivery.
Prices are slightly cheaper last year with drinks starting at £3.45
We have asked Starbucks UK for the calorie amounts for the items and will update you when we get them.
