MANILA, Philippines—The New Year is finally upon us. Faced with new opportunities and, inevitably, the challenges that come with it, it’s high time we look at things to look forward to and things we have to roll our sleeves up for. In doing this, we know it is easy to see our daily rituals starting to feel dull and repetitive, making it easy to overlook the little things that bring us joy. The gift of the New Year, however, allows us to see things with a new perspective—see which ones we are going to keep for the new road ahead with new rituals and habits we build around it for the better.

Starbucks, for one, from the year that has just past, told us to revisit the beauty of shared experiences over a good hot drink, or a cold beverage. Carrying this ethos into 2025, the loved brand is showing a new roster of menu tweaks to look forward to as we are presented an opportunity for change, from elevated twists on old favorites to surprising innovations. As we take our first steps for the year, Starbucks continues to invite you to elevate your rituals with this slate of exciting new additions.

Winter is Coming
