As Valentine’s Day draws near, Starbucks is joining the love train with two indulgent, limited-time beverages that will surely make your heart skip a beat. Whatever your preference – chocolate or fruit twist – these new drinks are sure to add some extra sweetness to the season. And to help you toast to happiness, Starbucks has also teamed up with a lineup of themed drinkware, making this the perfect time to grab a festive cup and cheers to joy.
Two New Drinks to Fall in Love With
Beginning February 4, Starbucks customers will be able to enjoy two new Valentine’s Day drinks that will be available while supplies last. These two beverages bring rich flavors together with a beautiful presentation to be devoured by the taste buds as well as your Instagram feed.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino
For those who love the classic combination of chocolate and strawberries, this Frappuccino is a dream come true. It blends strawberry purée, Frappuccino chips, milk, and ice, creating a creamy, refreshing drink. The mix is poured over a splash of strawberry purée and topped with fluffy whipped cream and mocha drizzle. The result? A drink that tastes just like a chocolate-dipped strawberry—smooth, sweet, and slightly indulgent.
Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew
Cold brew lovers won’t be left out this Valentine’s season. The Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew is a bold and flavorful option, featuring Starbucks’ signature cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup. What makes this drink truly special is the topping—a luxurious chocolate hazelnut-flavored cold foam, sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumbles. It’s a rich, nutty delight with the perfect balance of sweetness and deep coffee notes.
Both drinks showcase Starbucks’ commitment to seasonal innovation, so every sip is a celebration.
Valentine’s Day Drinkware: Chic and Fun
In addition to beverages, Starbucks has also unveiled a gorgeous lineup of Valentine ‘s-themed drinkware, which will be available in stores starting January 3. These beautifully designed cups, tumblers, and cold cups make for the perfect gift—or a stylish way to enjoy your favorite Starbucks drink.
Here’s what’s available:
- Valentine’s Day Cold Cup (24 oz.) Pixellated heart patterns give this cup a fun, newly-not-so-old-school take on Valentine’s Day. ($22.95)
- Pink Floral Cold Cup with Straw Topper (24 oz.) There is this feminine, floral-type cold cup in soft pink paired with a matching straw topper. ($24.95)

With hearts, flowers, and classic Valentine’s hues, the designs are bound to capture a little bit of that romantic flair that comes during this season in your coffee runs.
Starbucks Menu Changes: What’s next?
While Starbucks is pushing out these celebratory items, the company is engaged in the biggest menu overhaul in its history. CEO Brian Niccol, who recently started working, plans to reduce Starbucks’ menu by 30% of its food and beverages through the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 2025).
Niccol’s emphasis is on going back to the heart of Starbucks: quality, handcrafted coffee in a comfortable setting. Though the company has not publicly stated the exact cuts in menu, it has already eliminated the surcharge for non-dairy milk, a decision that customers appreciate.
Despite these changes, Starbucks is still innovating with seasonal offerings such as the Valentine’s Day drinks, making sure that customers can still have exciting new flavors throughout the year.
Final Thoughts
This Valentine’s season, Starbucks has more to give than just beverages. Whether it’s the taste of a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino or simply enjoying the elegance of a heart-patterned tumbler, there are all sorts of ways to celebrate love, friendship, and good coffee.
With limited-time availability, these Valentine’s offerings won’t last long. So, whether you’re a longtime Starbucks lover or just looking for a sweet seasonal treat, now is the time to indulge. Grab your favorite drink, find the perfect cup, and make this Valentine’s Day one to remember—one sip at a time.
