Starbucks Reveals Early 2026 Menu, New Roast and Collab

Starbucks announced its early 2026 product lineup on December 30, 2025, delivering a mix of permanent menu changes, seasonal offerings, a new whole-bean roast, and a high-profile marketing collaboration. The most permanent changes will be two year-round matcha beverages, the Iced Double Berry Matcha and the Iced Banana Bread Matcha, and the return of raspberry syrup as a permanent customization option for drinks.

For those who favor seasonal treats, Starbucks will roll out a Valentine’s Day collection centered on strawberries. Limited-time beverages include a Strawberry Shortcake Frappuccino and a White Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cold Brew, timed to the Valentine’s season and designed to appeal to customers looking for sweeter, dessert-style options in the weeks around February 14.

On the coffee side, Starbucks introduced the 1971 Roast, a new dark whole-bean offering the company billed as celebrating its roasting heritage. The blend combines beans sourced from Colombia, Sumatra and Brazil and will be sold as a whole-bean product for customers who prefer to brew at home. That addition gives home baristas a new dark roast to try in their preferred grinder and brewer, and it broadens Starbucks’ roster of retail coffees beyond instant and pre-ground options.

The bakery case will expand with several globally inspired items. Examples include a Dubai Chocolate Bite, a Strawberry Matcha Loaf, and a Chocolate Pistachio Loaf among other additions designed to pair with the new beverages and the 1971 Roast. These firmer bakery offerings aim to drive midday and afternoon visits, particularly when paired with the matcha and strawberry menus.

Starbucks also timed a promotional collaboration with YouTuber MrBeast. A limited Cannon Ball Drink, a lemonade blend mixed with Strawberry Acai and Mango Dragonfruit Refreshers, will launch January 14 alongside Season 2 of Beast Games. Expect heavier foot traffic and social media attention on and after that date as fans seek the tied-in offering.

Practical steps for customers: look for the year-round matcha options and raspberry syrup in stores as menu boards update, and watch for the Cannon Ball Drink on January 14 if you want to try the limited refresher blend. Check your local store or the Starbucks app for exact availability and timing, and consider buying the 1971 Roast whole beans if you want to explore a new dark roast at home.
