Starbucks recently unveiled its holiday menu, which features some new items mixed in with returning drinks and snacks. New for 2025 is the Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, which Starbucks said “captures the essence of the season with flavors of sweet orange, tart cranberry and warm spices … shaken with ice, water and real cranberries.” The Cran-Merry Orange Refresher can also be made with lemonade or coconut milk instead of water.

Also new for the season is Starbucks’ gingerbread cream cold foam, meant to top iced coffee with “sweet and deliciously spicy gingerbread flavors blended with Starbucks signature vanilla sweet cream.”

New snacks on the Starbucks holiday menu include a turkey sage danish, which is “A flaky savory pastry filled with turkey sausage and a creamy bechamel sauce;” the dark toffee bundt, made with “Deep toffee flavor notes swirl together in a personal-sized bundt cake;” and a snowman cake pop.

Subway recently launched the LTO double chocolate peppermint footlong cookie, “an anticipated follow-up to its beloved footlong chocolate chip cookie,” according to a press release from Subway. It is the second footlong cookie on Subway’s menu of snacks priced at $5 or less.

The QSR described the cookie as a “rich, chocolatey recipe … loaded with chocolate and white chips, then swirled with peppermint extract and topped with red and white candy cane pieces” and noted that the cookie is served warm.

Arby’s announced it is bringing back its deep-fried turkey club and also launched the new deep-fried turkey gobbler sandwich for Thanksgiving. The new option features “thick-sliced deep fried turkey breast piled high with crispy onions, everything seasoning, Swiss cheese, savory herb spread, lettuce and tomato on a toasted buttery brioche bun,” according to an Arby’s announcement.
