Since 2000, the gingerbread latte was a seasonal staple at Starbucks. Next to peppermint, gingerbread is an essential winter seasonal flavor and people LOVED the gingerbread latte or the chance to add a pump of gingerbread syrup to a different drink. 2018 marked 18 years of this warm, spicy goodness. 2019, Starbucks released their seasonal holiday drink lineup with a notable absence of gingerbread. What had happened to result in removal of this sweet seasonal treat? 2021 shows year 3 of no gingerbread. I call on those in charge at Starbucks to hear us out. Give the people their holiday cheer. Give the people what they really want. Please bring back the gingerbread latte!
