Christmas is coming early to Starbucks Japan! Following its playful Halloween 2026 collection, Starbucks is getting into the festive spirit with a brand-new selection of seasonal beverages, sweet treats and Christmas-themed merchandise.

Launching nationwide on 2 November 2026, this year’s holiday promotion embraces the theme “Let’s par-TEA!”, inviting customers to celebrate the season with three distinctive tea-based drinks. From the rich Earl Grey Chocolate Frappuccino to a creamy strawberry tea latte, the collection offers something for every festive mood.

And the celebrations don’t stop at drinks. Starbucks Japan is also introducing Christmas-inspired desserts, adorable Bearista accessories and a colourful collection of tumblers, mugs and gifts. Whether you’re visiting Japan during the festive season or searching for a limited-edition souvenir, here’s what to look out for.

Starbucks Japan Christmas 2026: New Festive Drinks

This year’s Christmas menu takes a slightly different approach to traditional holiday beverages, putting tea in the spotlight. The three new drinks combine fragrant tea blends with strawberries, chocolate and creamy milk for a festive afternoon treat.

Joyful Medley Strawberry Creamy Tea Latte — ¥650

One of the highlights of Starbucks Japan’s Christmas 2026 menu is the Joyful Medley Strawberry Creamy Tea Latte, a beautifully presented drink that combines fruity sweetness with the comforting aroma of tea.

The beverage features Starbucks’ signature Joyful Medley blend, made with black tea, oolong tea and jasmine tea, complemented by delicate apricot-like notes. Sweetened fresh cream creates a smooth, rich texture, while strawberry-flavoured mousse and freeze-dried strawberry pieces add a festive pink finish.

Despite its creamy appearance, the drink offers a relatively refreshing aftertaste, making it an appealing choice for those who enjoy fruity tea-based beverages.

The chocolate chips provide a satisfying crunch, while the creamy texture makes it a lovely seasonal treat for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual coffee-based Frappuccino.
