A popular coffee chain loved by many has recently revealed its new line of Christmas-themed menu items. 

Costa Coffee has added lots of festive goodies to its selection of hot drinks, sweet treats, and savoury bites to get us all in the Christmas spirit. 

To honour this, one member of the team decided to go and try for themselves what the cafe had to offer this festive period. 

"It’s amazing how quickly you forget the iconic taste of Costa gingerbread latte however after that first sip you know Christmas is back," they said. 

"Christmas for me has always been a magical time of year because it takes me straight back to being a kid again.

"Costa helps me do that with their gingerbread latte. It tastes like Christmas in a cup. I may be biased but I can never fault a gingerbread latte."

They also tried the cranberry and brie toastie, exclaiming that it sounded like heaven.

They said that the savoury brie and the sweetness of the cranberry really complimented each other. 

"However I am one of those annoying cheese eaters who finds the smell of cheese very pungent in comparison to the taste so the toastie wasn’t really a winner for me however if you are a big brie fan, then this is probably the Christmas sandwich for you," they continued. 

They also gave the brand-new berry Christmas velvet cake a try and scored it a 10 out of 10 with nothing left to be desired.

They said that they absolutely loved the mint buttercream on top of the cake and the sponge itself was very soft and sweet, and inside was a gorgeous gooey centre.

"It was hard to stop eating halfway through in order to give my partner the other half," they laughed.

"Overall Costa has smashed the new Christmas menu, but then again maybe I am biased because I’ve always been a fan of the Christmas menu and I always will.

"My only note is that gingerbread lattes really should be all year round for the kids inside us all."

The new menu features the following drinks:

Caramel Nutcracker Hot Chocolate

Caramel Nutcracker Latte (available hot or iced)

Festive Spice Latte

Black Forest Frappe

Customers can head to their nearest Costa Express machine to enjoy the Caramel Nutcracker range as well as in Costa Coffee’s stores.
