In fact, they blasted the Seattle-based coffee chain with social media tirades, Change.org petitions, and handwritten pleas to the CEO\u2014okay, the last one I\u2019m just assuming&#8230;<em data-node-id=\"2.5\">but you get it<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">All of which apparently paid off. Starbucks not only brought back the fan-favorite bevvy after a four-year hiatus (!!!), but launched a sister sipper right along with it: the Eggnog Cold Foam. Considering the borderline-unhinged hype over the OG and my own year-round commitment to iced coffee, I <em data-node-id=\"3.6\">knew<\/em> what I had to do\u2014and that\u2019s run straight to my local caf\u00e9 for a taste. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"starbucks cold foam\" title=\"starbucks cold foam\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4284\" height=\"5712\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/img-0025-6930a3592c93f.jpg?crop=0.811xw:0.608xh;0,0.117xh&amp;resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Now, before we dive in, allow me to give you a little run-down on the spinoff. Starbucks\u2019 Eggnog Cold Foam is exactly what it sounds like: a velvety smooth, holiday-spiced foam that sits atop a classic cold brew, or any other iced beverage, for that matter. The <del data-node-id=\"5.1\">world<\/del> Starbucks menu is your oyster! Think of it like the lighter, colder cousin of the classic Eggnog Latte\u2014with the same nostalgic notes (nutmeg, vanilla, you know the drill), but it\u2019s not quite so heavy or as indulgent.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">While, <em data-node-id=\"7.1\">naturally<\/em>, I went into the taste test with high expectations (it\u2019s hard not to when everyone is obsessed with the original), the cold foam still managed to deliver\u2014and then some. It has the same airy, cloud-like foam texture we all know and love with <em data-node-id=\"7.3\">just<\/em> the right amount of eggnog flavor. It\u2019s not so sweet you\u2019ll feel like you chugged an entire carton of the real thing, but it still scratches that seasonal itch. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The best part? The bitterness of the coffee cuts through the sweet foam in such a balanced and beautiful way. Each sip is packed with flavor and holiday spirit. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Bottom line: if you\u2019re a fan of eggnog (the classic seasonal drink), the Eggnog Latte (Starbucks\u2019 version or otherwise), or just have good taste&#8230;you <em data-node-id=\"9.1\">need<\/em> to try the Eggnog Cold Foam. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starbucks just dropped its second wave of seasonal drinks, and along with returning favorites\u2014the Eggnog Latte and Chestnut Praline Latte\u2014comes the Eggnog Cold Foam.
