Pumpkin Spice Latte season may have just started, but Starbucks' highly-anticipated holiday menu has already leaked online. On Thursday, social media sleuth-slash-food Instagrammer Markie Devo shared dropped a first look at the rumored release.

"It’s me again, the spooky season Grinch (and Halloween is my fav holiday😅)," he captioned the photo, which features a full breakdown of the seasonal menu. And while you can breathe a sigh of relief because several iconic beverages will make their return on November 7, there are a few noticeable absences.

Let's start with the good news, though. Here's what's *allegedly* coming to holiday menus at Starbucks this year:

  • New Cran-Merry Orange Refresher: Features sweet orange, tart cranberry, and warm spice combined with cranberry inclusions, mixed with water, lemonade or coconut milk.

  • New Salted Pecan Cold Brew: Features cold brew sweetened with vanilla and topped with salted pecan cream cold foam and a pecan crunch topping.

  • Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai: Features warm chai spices, creamy oatmilk, and ice, topped with non-dairy gingerbread cream cold foam and pumpkin spice topping.

  • Peppermint Mocha: Available in hot, iced, blended or as hot chocolate.

  • Peppermint White Chocolate: Available in hot, iced, blended or as hot chocolate.

  • Caramel Brûlée Latte: Available in hot, iced, or blended.

  • Sugar Cookie Almondmilk: Available in hot, iced, or blended.

  • Chestnut Praline Latte: Available in hot, iced, or blended.

Starbucks also has an entire menu of cold foams, including Peppermint Chocolate Cream, Sugar Cookie Cream, Chestnut Praline Cream, Gingerbread Cream, Caramel Brûlée Cream, and Salted Pecan Cream.

As for the food menu, the Seattle-based coffee giant is introducing several new treats, including a Turkey Sage Danish, Dark Toffee Bundt, Penguin Cookie, and Snowman Cake Pop. The Sugar Plum Cheese Danish and Cranberry Bliss Bar will also be making their return.

So...what's missing? Fans weighed in on a few favorites that didn't make the cut this year. "Still no toasted white chocolate!! Whyyyy did they get rid of it 😭," one user wrote, while another chimed in, "Still missing eggnog 😢."

"Is there a regular hot gingerbread latte? I miss it," and "Where’s the salted caramel," others added.
