These new Starbucks creamers have been debuted as a Walmart exclusive range of coffee creamer products that are formulated with the signature flavor of some classic cafe treats.
The creamers come in the Chocolate Java Mint, Birthday Cake Pop and Raspberry Vanilla flavors, which each come in 14-fluid-ounce bottles to accommodate multi-serving occasions. This size, however, is smaller than usual in response to consumer shopping habits. The creamers are each made with real milk and cream to prioritize a smooth, velvety texture.
The new Starbucks creamers are arriving in-store at Walmart locations in the US for $3.68 each and take a different approach to flavor that doesn't rely on seasonal inspiration. The products instead help to bring home some of the cafe brand's most popular flavors to give consumers the ability to create them from home.
