MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Caribou
Coffee®, a national premium coffeehouse and Panera Brands
portfolio concept, announced the highly-anticipated return of its
classic trio of holiday beverages: Ho Ho Mint Mocha, Fa
La Latte and Spicy Mocha. These seasonal offerings are
now available at select coffeehouses throughout the Twin Cities and slated to be rolled out
nationwide starting on Thursday, Nov.
4. Making this season a little brighter, Caribou Coffee also
unveiled three new holiday cup designs featuring iconic images and
festive patterns.
"Connection is the heart of Caribou Coffee, and we hope to offer
our guests ways and moments to connect with their loved ones this
holiday season," said Erin Newkirk,
VP of Brand Strategy at Caribou Coffee. "Our holiday beverages are
crafted to spark joy with every sip, especially when served in our
beautiful new cups that capture the magic of this time of year. And
we are thrilled to have just launched our nationwide subscription
program, providing an opportunity to share a cup of Caribou with
friends and family, near and far."
The secret behind Caribou's unparalleled level of quality is a
commitment to using real, premium ingredients. With joy and
simplicity at the forefront of the holiday season, guests will be
able to taste the difference of real melted white chocolate and
crushed candy canes in their holiday beverage of choice.
Guests can celebrate the holidays their way by choosing from a
wide-range of preparation options available only at Caribou,
including its signature Crafted
Press. Caribou Coffee's 2021 holiday lineup includes:
- Ho Ho Mint Mocha: A timeless holiday classic, Ho Ho Mint
Mocha combines real chocolate melted into steamed milk and mixed
with rich espresso and mint flavor. The Ho Ho Mint Mocha is topped
with real whipped cream and crushed candy canes. This beverage can
be enjoyed as hot, iced, blended, Nitro or Crafted Press.
- Spicy Mocha: Turn up the heat this winter with flavors
of cinnamon, ancho chilies and chipotle peppers. This spicy
combination is mixed with real chocolate, melted into steamed milk,
and topped with real whipped cream and chocolate chips. Enjoy this
holiday beverage hot, iced, blended or Nitro.
- Fa La Latte: Nothing says the holidays quite like
eggnog! This returning fan-favorite combines creamy, sweet eggnog
blended with rich espresso and topped with real whipped cream and a
sprinkle of nutmeg. You can order the Fa La Latte hot, iced or
Nitro.
- Maple Waffle Breakfast Sandwich: A crowd pleaser season
after season, Caribou's take on chicken and waffles is made with
chicken sausage, gouda and a cage-free egg between two maple
waffles.
- Gingerbread: Making a return to our bakery cases,
Caribou's delicious gingerbread is made with the perfect hint of
ginger spice and topped with sweet icing.
Caribou fans can also look forward to new seasonal merchandise,
available in stores and online, including an assortment of holiday
giftables such as Buffalo Plaid drinkware and flasks, holiday
ornaments and apparel. Caribou Coffee has also launched two
exclusive holiday coffee blends available in store, at
CaribouCoffee.com and in select retail partners nationwide. Made
with 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, these offerings
include Reindeer Blend, bringing together coffees from
Central America combined with
heavy-bodied and rich flavors from Indonesia that gives a hint of caramel and a
dash of spice, and Bold North Blend, a dark roast with
flavors of warm caramel and barrel oak.
Additionally, for those looking for gift options to delight the
Caribou Coffee enthusiast beyond the holiday season, the brand
recently launched its nationwide Subscription Program to ship a
wide array of Caribou Coffee products wherever you call home.
Subscription's members have the option to select from beans to
