Ready Steady Christmas! The Costa Christmas Menu has Landed
The nation’s favourite coffee shop, Costa Coffee, unveils its new festive menu, due to land in stores across the UK from November 2017.
Costa’s best ever Christmas menu is set to bring festive cheer to Christmas shoppers all over the country as the food and drink innovation team have been working harder than Santa’s elves to create the most mouthwatering festive menu to date.
Headlining the drinks menu this year is the Billionaire’s Hot Chocolate, as voted for by Costa Coffee Club members, which includes layers of caramel sauce, a freshly whipped cream topping and shortbread crumbs. Costa was so impressed with the customer’s choice that they decided to expand the Billionaire’s range, including the Billionaire’s Latte which combines Belgian chocolate sauce and caramel sauce with Costa’s signature Mocha Italia Blend.
For the first time ever, Costa will serve its famous Frostinos during the festive season. A decadently creamy cup of frosted deliciousness will be sure to keep fraught festive shoppers cool as they sprint from store to store ticking off their shopping lists. The Billionaire’s Latte Frostino is the perfect chance to be a little bit naughty this Christmas.
It’s not Christmas at Costa without the Black Forest Hot Chocolate, and it is back by popular demand. Joining the family this year is the Black Forest Frostino, a frosty new take on the fan favourite.
Other returning festive favourites include the Gingerbread and Cream Latte, Honeycombe Latte, Mint Hot Chocolate and the bigger and better than last year, rich and creamy Lindt Hot Chocolate.
From winter warmers to tasty Christmas edibles, Costa’s savoury choices are set to get the sleigh bells ringing. Customers can refuel from their Christmas shopping sessions with a Festive Pigs in Blanket Panini or the Creamy Brie, Smoked Bacon & Cranberry Panini.
Christmas sandwich aficionados won’t be disappointed either. The British Turkey Feast, a returning favourite, will be gobbled up in no time, while the Christmas Club Sandwich is packed with festive favourites turkey, sausage, bacon, stuffing and cranberry sauce.
Santa might want Brits to be nice at Christmas but Costa doesn’t mind a bit of naughtiness. This is evident in the delicious new range of sweet treats on offer. This year’s shimmer offering is the Chocolate & Hazelnut Shimmer Cake combining two different sponges and decorated with caramel and gianduja frostings for that touch of seasonal sparkle.
Why should kids get to have all the fun at Christmas? The Rudolph Mini Cake, a sticky toffee sponge filled with salted caramel frosting, is a light-hearted option for parents. Costa also introduces two new loaf cakes to tide customers over at Christmas. The Black Forest Loaf Cake brings the famous hot chocolate to life in edible form, while the Clementine Cream Drizzles’ citrus flavour will remind customers of opening their stockings on Christmas morning.
No one will be left out this year as the vegan Christmas Cake Slice returns, while the new vegan Mince Tart is also gluten-free.
The Costa Christmas range arrived in stores nationwide from 2 November.
