Deck the halls with Frappucinos!

The holidays are nigh, so obviously Starbucks has a new Frappuccino to go with the festive mood. 🎉

From today until Monday, Dec. 11, the coffee chain will be offering a Christmas Tree Frappuccino, that actually kind of looks like one.* 🎄

*If you squint your eyes and shake your Frap from side to side.

The holiday Frap is made with a peppermint mocha crème base (so, it's coffee-free) + matcha whipped cream (!) + caramel drizzle + candied cranberries + a strawberry topping. It's a lot.

A quick scroll through IG showed the green whipped cream could look questionable at best — and we had THOUGHTS on the pink-blue Unicorn Frap — so we knew we had to taste this creation for ourselves.

At our local Starbucks, the Frap cost $5.39 for a tall, $5.93 for a grande, and $6.48 for a venti.

TL;DR: The drink is great if you like minty flavors!

• The Frap is sweet, minty, and festive AF.
• The whipped cream has the texture of cream cheese, but a nice matcha aftertaste.
•The cranberry crunch on top of the whipped cream is 💯.
