Just in time for the holiday season, 7-Eleven has debuted a new Gingerbread Latte that tastes like Christmas cookies in a cup.
7-Eleven's new Gingerbread Latte is a seasonal treat available from the convenience store's hot beverage bar. The new drink combines a sweet and creamy coffee latte with notes of ginger, honey, allspice, and molasses. To encourage customers to try the new drink, 7Rewards members can enjoy any size hot beverage, including the new Gingerbread Latte, for just $1 at participating 7-Eleven locations nationwide.
And if gingerbread isn't your holiday flavor of choice, 7-Eleven is also serving up a new Peppermint Mocha. This drink combines a chocolatey café mocha with sweet peppermint sprinkles and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. There are also peppermint mocha creamers available.
