Starbucks Japan Holiday 2026: 3 New Tea Drinks, a Santa Cookie Topping and the Bearista Tumbler

This year's theme: a holiday tea party

Instead of the usual coffee-based holiday drinks, Starbucks Japan is celebrating 2026 with three very different tea drinks. The idea is simple: pick the one that fits your mood and enjoy a little "tea party", on your own or with friends.

Tips for ordering in Japan

• Showing the Japanese menu name on your phone is an easy way to order
• Not every store carries every item, and popular drinks can sell out early
• If you have allergies or want to avoid caffeine, check the product information on the official website or ask in store
