REVIEW: We're Trying the NEW Starbucks Holiday Drink in Disney World

Happy Holidays, everyone!

It’s CHRISTMAS!

Yep, Halloween is over, the holiday decorations are out, and we’ve been listening to Mariah Carey all day long. We’ve been looking forward to this day for a WHOLE year, and it’s finally arrived. Today, the Starbucks holiday drinks and snacks are officially available, including in Disney World. So we’re trying one of the NEW holiday drinks, as well as an old favorite snack. Deck the halls, y’all!

So we got up early and headed to Magic Kingdom to get in line at Main Street Bakery to try the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai Latte for $6.49. Okay, does that sound comforting or what? It’s a Chai latte with oat milk, pumpkin spice topping, and ice. YUM.

We’re happy to report that this drink is as warm and comforting as it sounds, thanks to the spices in it. We get a lot of the gingerbread taste with each sip. We also loved how the oat milk in the drink makes it a little creamy.

SO good

What’s even more perfect is you can get it iced because, well, Florida is never that wintry.

We also just HAD to pick up the returning Cranberry Bliss Bar for $3.49…for reasons. It’s a blondie with dried cranberries, finished with a layer of cream cheese icing flecked with orange zest and a sprinkle of dried cranberries. Again, ALL the flavors of the season, right?

We’ve had this a million times, but it’s still just so perfectly soft and sweet. The cranberry flavor comes through so strong and just melds with the cream cheese frosting.

Still a favorite!

We only have one complaint: we wish it was bigger! Oh, well, we’ll just go buy another one.

We also grabbed the cranberry bliss bar! This one is returning to the menu, but is still one to try!
