Starbucks Japan's 2022 Holiday Menu Features A New Red Velvet Drink
By ARIANNA ENDICOTT
Each year as the holiday season grows closer, Starbucks fans anticipate the arrival of festive drinks, and international locations also join in on the holiday fun. For 2022, Starbucks Japan has introduced a sweet and fruity drink — the Strawberry & Velvet Brownie Frappuccino.
Designed to replicate the flavor of a red velvet cake, the frappuccino blends an entire brownie into the base. A strawberry-flavored glaçage sauce is swirled in, giving the drink its signature red color, and topped with whipped cream, strawberry sauce, and white chocolate pieces.
If you prefer hot coffee, the chain also serves a similar beverage — a café mocha swirled with strawberry sauce and a red velvet brownie crumb topping. The drinks became available on November 1 and will remain on the Starbucks Japan menu through November 29, or as supplies last.
