Costa Coffee making major menu change in UK stores from Friday

Costa Coffee is making a major change to its menu across UK stores from this Friday when its new Christmas menu will officially launch.

It may still be October but the popular coffee chain is bringing the festive season to customers early and will roll out a selection of seasonal food and drink items this week. The launch of the Christmas menu comes earlier than ever before and includes a mixture of new items and old favourites, alongside a new seasonal gift range. Costa Coffee has confirmed that the start of this year's festive drinks selection is its new Butter Pecan Cookie Latte, which is a seasonal twist on the classic drink, topped with a light whip and butter pecan cookie pieces. Alongside this newcomer, customers can rediscover popular festive favourites including the returning Mint Hot Chocolate, Terry's Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate and the Black Forest Hot Chocolate.

Also returning is the Caramel Nutcracker range which is available as a hot chocolate, latte and an iced latter, alongside the classic Gingerbread Latte.

Gingerbread fans can also get their hands on Costa's Barista Creations Gingerbread Latte Sachets, which are available to buy in major supermarkets.

Customers can also get their hands on the Caramel Nutcracker range at Costa Express machines nationwide from Thursday, October 23, while the Butter Pecan Latte, Hot Chocolate and Iced Latte are available exclusively at Costa Express machines in Shell service stations.

As for the food selection, the festive menu includes the return of the much-loved Turkey and Trimmings Toastie, Pigs and Blankets Toastie, Brie and Cranberry Toastie, Turkey Feast Sandwich and the Brie, Bacon and Cranberry Panini.

Those with a sweet tooth are also well catered for with the launch of a new Dubai Style Pistachio Tiffin, which will be available from Thursday, November 6, and comprises a rich fusion of chocolate, pistachio and festive crunch.

Customers can also enjoy the new Caramel Nutcracker Cookie Sandwich, featuring layers of hazelnut frosting and caramel between two dark chocolate cookies, along with a new Festive Spice Muffin, packed with fruit and sticky toffee sauce.

The menu also features an array of returning favourites, including the Iced Penguin Gingerbread Biscuits (available from November 6), Berry Red Velvet Mini Loaf, Chocolate and Caramel Nutcracker Cake, Gingernut Loaf Cake and Festive Bakewell Tart.

A selection of seasonal gifts will also be available including festive cups (£6.50 for a 16oz plastic travel cup, £12.50 for a 16oz stainless steel travel cup, or £9.95 for a ceramic cup), a cappuccino gift set (£14.95) and Costa Coffee Plushies (£7.50) shaped like a Costa Coffee cup or a festive gingerbread character.

Nishant Bhatia, Costa Coffee's Global Food and Beverage Innovation Director, said: "This Christmas, we're bringing festive moments to life with a menu full of joy and indulgence.

"From our brand-new Butter Pecan Cookie Latte and Dubai-Style Pistachio Tiffin to returning favourites like the Pigs in Blanket Toastie, every drink and bite is designed to make those Christmas catch-ups and family gatherings feel extra special."

Costa Coffee's Christmas menu will launch in UK stores nationwide from Friday, October 24, 2025.
