While Starbucks went for that minimal, dare we say it, classy, Red Cup design, the Costa Christmas cups have gone the other way and everyone’s loving it.
Because Christmas is about Santa hats, over-indulgence and all the bells and whistles, right?
Along with its festive cups – the robin and penguin join Santa, Snowman, and Elf – Costa are doing three ridiculously sexy sounding new hot drinks: Salted Caramel Cappuccino, Tiramisu Latte and Caramel Fudge Hot Chocolate.
They join old favourites, the Gingerbread and Cream Latte, the White Hot Chocolate and the Black Forest Hot Chocolate.
Christmas has officially arrived.
