Gingerbread Matcha Latte – Starbucks UK Christmas Drink 2026

This Christmas, Starbucks UK has blended two festive favourites — smooth matcha and warm gingerbread — to create the Gingerbread Matcha Latte. It’s the perfect mix of cosy and refreshing, designed for those who want the taste of the holidays without the espresso.

Price starts at around £7.20, and it contains roughly 260 calories for the Tall size.

Matcha Meets Christmas – What Makes It Unique

The Gingerbread Matcha Latte stands out because it blends the calming taste of matcha with the nostalgic sweetness of gingerbread. While Starbucks’ usual Christmas lineup features coffee-based drinks, this one celebrates green tea — offering something lighter but still indulgent.

It’s part of Starbucks’ growing trend to offer tea-inspired festive drinks, showing that matcha can be just as cozy and Christmassy as a classic latte. check out Star

FAQs

Is the Gingerbread Matcha Latte vegan?

Not by default, but you can make it vegan with a plant-based milk and by skipping the whipped cream topping.

What does it taste like?

It’s creamy and smooth with the natural earthiness of matcha, sweetened by gingerbread syrup and finished with a hint of cinnamon spice.

When is it available?

It’s available from early November through the Christmas season at participating Starbucks UK locations.

Can I order it iced?

Yes — some stores offer the Iced Gingerbread Matcha Latte, which includes cold milk, matcha, and gingerbread-flavoured cold foam.

How does it compare to the Toffee Nut Matcha Latte?

The Gingerbread Matcha Latte is spicier and more aromatic, while the Toffee Nut Matcha Latte is sweeter and nutty. Both are festive, but the gingerbread one has a stronger holiday feel.

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes. Since it’s made with matcha green tea, it contains moderate caffeine — less than a coffee-based latte but enough for a gentle energy lift.
