Get ready to enjoy a taste of the holidays because Starbucks is baking up a new Cranberry Orange Scone as part of its 2020 holiday lineup.
Each year, Starbucks is known for serving up top-notch holiday treats like its Cranberry Bliss Bar, Snowman Cookies, and Sugar Plum Danish. This year, all those festive treats are returning, but they'll also be joined by a new addition: the Cranberry Orange Scone. This tasty baked good is a soft and flaky buttermilk scone made with crème fraîche, dried cranberries, and orange zest. The whole thing is then drizzled with vanilla icing to bring all the flavors together.
All of Starbucks' seasonal treats can now be found nationwide at participating Starbucks locations.
