Starbucks announced the collection on November 9, 2026. Every drink gets the same "snowcap": a melted marshmallow flavored cold foam finished with a crispy cookie topping. All three come hot or iced.

|---|---|
| Snowcap Marshmallow Mocha | Starbucks espresso with mocha sauce and milk, topped with marshmallow cold foam and cookie topping |

| Snowcap Marshmallow Hot Chocolate | Hot chocolate made with mocha sauce, topped with marshmallow cold foam and cookie topping |
