Costa announce three new Christmas drinks, and yum

From Cosmopolitan

We’re still enjoying the unusually warm autumn weather, but Christmas is just around the corner and this year’s seasonal coffee cups are about to start coming your way.

First up is Costa, which has announced it will launch its festive takeaway cups on Tuesday 3 November alongside a brand new food menu, before announcing new Christmas drinks on 29 October. Because what is Christmas without a Costa Coffee Christmas Cup?

Let's discuss the Christmas drinks, shall we? Costa announced three new hot drinks: the Quality Street Purple One Latte (a Latte with a rich caramel chocolate sauce and roasted hazelnut syrup); an After Eight Hot Chocolate (with a festive splash of cool peppermint syrup) and Terry’s Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate (flavoured with a specially created orange syrup). THESE SOUND INCREDIBLE.
