There’s still a week before December even begins, but we here at the office are already in full Christmas mode. Shooting festive products, goodies and picking out party outfits for a bumper Christmas shopping guide will do that to you. Thank goodness that’s gone and done with!
Over in the real world, meanwhile, holiday fever is just starting to catch. The coffee giants have been busy brewing their holiday treats, with Nespresso leading the way via a three-flavor special edition of their staple Livanto grand cru.
The three new flavors of the velvety Livanto roast are: vanilla, cherry and dark chocolate. We stocked up on two packs the day they became available—and I’m already a big fan of the deceivingly fragrant vanilla variety in their creamy white capsules.
Then, Starbucks is back with their addictive toffee nut latte—which is more a novelty drink than a proper coffee, really, but is delicious nonetheless. The just-as-festive gingerbread latte will also be available, and there’ll be a new cranberry white chocolate mocha debuting this year as well. All the drinks are topped with a handsome mound of whipped cream and blended with freshly steamed milk—edible winter imagery, anyone?
