Growing up in a Mexican household, it never truly felt like the holidays until my abuela, very aptly, broke out the yellow box of Abuelita chocolate from the tiny cupboard next to the stove. My family and I would decorate the Christmas tree, laughing and reminiscing over handmade ornaments. Then we'd soak up the beauty of the silvery lights in the sala, warming our palms with mismatched tazas of chocolate.

For Starbucks, its rotating menus of festive flavors are a carefully crafted global strategy to define what the holidays taste like. Each November, the world's largest coffee chain rolls out limited-time menu offerings designed to spark both joy and revenue - from Latin America's Hazelnut Caramel Latte to gingerbread classics featured across the Asia Pacific region. Underneath the whipped cream this year is a clue to how the brand's turnaround effort is going, analysts told Business Insider.

The holiday menu at popular coffee chain Dutch Bros offers exciting drinks for customers, regardless of whether they're coffee lovers, energy seekers, or just looking for festive twists on their favorite beverages. From rich, decadent lattes and mochas to bright, refreshing Rebels and lemonades, and blended freezes and shakes, this year's lineup offers something for everyone, whether you're seeking warmth, indulgence, or a refreshing pick-me-up.

We're finally in the time of year when the temperatures are cooling, which means we're wearing our bulkiest sweaters, drinking hot beverages instead of iced, and trying to find other ways to get festive for the upcoming holidays. Well, we have a fun idea for you: Try incorporating the new Little Debbie's Christmas Tree Cake coffee creamer into your next cocktail.
