Since the start of Starbucks Christmas Promo for this year, the following Christmas Drinks are offered: Praline Mocha, Toffee Nut Latte, and Peppermint Mocha. If you’ve been drinking Starbucks since last year, you’ll notice that the Gingerbread Latte got removed from the Starbucks Christmas Beverage line-up.

I was curious. Where did Gingerbread Latte go? I asked a barista on a certain Starbucks store and fortunately the barista knows the answer to my question. And she said something like:

We (Starbucks Philippines) change our Christmas Beverage Line-up every year. A new one replaces the drink with the lowest demand the following year.

So probably, Gingerbread Latte got the lowest demand for 2006; hence, the birth of a new drink – Praline Mocha. In fact, I’ve heard a lot of negative remarks regarding the taste of Gingerbread Latte. I’m fine with its taste but I prefer Toffee Nut Latte than Gingerbread Latte.

So now you know where did Gingerbread Latte go. Interesting trivia, isn’t?
