Starbucks releases new Halloween black-cat drink, cookie, and merch

CHARLOTTE — Starbucks is getting in the Halloween spirit after releasing two new spooky treats.

Starbucks’ Black Cat Frappuccino and Venti Black Cat Cookie were made available Oct. 22.

The Black Cat Frappuccino is a chocolate cake-flavored creme-based Frappuccino with whipped cream and chocolate-shaped cat ears.

The Black Cat Cookie is a black cocoa cookie with caramel fudge pieces and chunks of caramelized white chocolate.

In addition to the new menu items, the coffeehouse chain is offering exclusive spooky merchandise, including a Black cat Bearista plush bag charm.

The new Halloween merchandise has already been in stores but includes:

  • Black cat mug
  • Cauldron mug
  • Black cat stainless steel cold cup

The merchandise is available while supplies last.

The Halloween menu items follow Starbucks’ 2026 winter holiday offerings, which launched in early Oct.

Starbucks’ winter holiday menu is topped by a new Tiramisu Velvet line of drinks and apple pomegranate-flavored refreshers.
