Does anyone know when they'll be available - am desperate for my Gingerbread Latte and cream (it just isn't the same when I make it at home ).

It was the fifth of November last year, probably about the same again this year.

Oh I loved the eggnog latte! and the gingerbread one.
There was another one I loved too but I can't remember it.
I also still have around £10 on my starbucks card so I should treat myself.

They did at my local Starbucks! All be it, not much of it.. they kept running out most days which was very annoying.

Can't wait for this year though.

Ooh...havnt tried the gingerbread latte, or the eggnog one - Always copped out and gone for mint hot chocolate!
Whats the eggnog one like? I've tried normal eggnog, but it must be good if its always sold out!

Costa's Orange Hot Chocolate is awesome, and possibly the best thing about winter.

I can't remember its been so long ha
They probably won't do it again this year...
to me it's just really creamy (I think) though once they put nutmeg on top and when I stirred it with the sugar the nutmeg just made it taste off and I couldn't figure out why but it was the nutmeg

What is nutmeg even for, apart from ruining a lovely drink?? I always say 'no nutmeg' and what do they go and do - and even when they scrape it off and put more cream on, I still know it was there!!

Does anyone know if the Christmas drinks are available in Starbucks yet? I heard that they're launched officially tomorrow, but I just wanted to check

what?!?!?!? I went past my local one today and no eggnog

though saying that I just peered in from the outside tomorrow I may go in heh just the sign outside had the gingerbread, toffee nut and dark cherry but on the website I see the eggnog hasn't got a picture so it might just not be well advertised at the store hopefully

Yeah, my local one had plenty in... They said they got sent "absolutely loads" due to the complaints about them hardly having any last year! Hope you manage to get one

Had my gingerbread one this morning, was awesome. I tried the eggnog one a couple of years ago and it was too sickly for me. The toffee nut one is also pretty nice.
