Starbucks fans are in for a special treat over the coming weeks, as the drinks chain has just unveiled an exciting new collaboration.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Peanuts, Starbucks is launching a ‘nostalgic’ new range, which features a brand new drink, and some merchandise for the cup lovers.
Fans of Peanuts will know that in the classic cartoon, Snoopy has an alter-ego called Joe Cool Snoopy, who wears suave shades and a red jumper. But Starbucks is introducing a brand new version of the iconic character, known as Joe Kind Snoopy.
The cute comic character will swap the red jumper for Starbucks’ iconic green shade and he’ll feature on a limited-edition Frappuccino, as well as a cold cup (£24.95), bottle (£19.95) and tote bag (£9.95).
According to Starbucks, the new Frappe is a mix of mocha sauce, vanilla flavour syrup and chocolate chips. These ingredients are blended with oat drink and finished off with whipped cream and a one-of-a-kind Joe Kind Snoopy white chocolate topper. Cute!
The drink which costs £5.45 for a Tall, as well as the rest of the range, will be available at Starbucks until April 30. It’s worth noting though that everything is subject to availability, while stocks last – so if you’re a big Peanuts fan, you might want to get it while you can.
But that’s not all, Starbucks Rewards members are also being urged to keep their eyes peeled for another surprise coming up soon as the partnership continues to spread kindness throughout the Spring season. Very mysterious…
Alex Rayner, Vice President and General manager at Starbucks UK has said: ‘We are so pleased to have partnered with Peanuts to create Joe Kind Snoopy wearing the iconic Starbucks uniform in celebration of Peanuts diamond jubilee.
‘This beloved character embodies the same kindness and warmth that our Green Apron Partners deliver to customers each and every day, in their mission to inspire connections over good coffee.’
Online Starbucks fans have already been sharing their excitement over the news, after the chain posted a snap of the new drink on Instagram and Facebook.
Tina Palmer said: ‘Snoopy drink looks cute.’ As Dean Jayden wrote: ‘I’m so exciteeeed!’
@rhebeka_x claimed she was ‘on [her] way’ to try the new range, as @magicwithclo simply posted ‘oh my’ in response.
Ellen Mangundayao thought it was ‘so amazing’, and others shared their general love for Snoopy and Peanuts in the comments.
This comes after Starbucks recently made a major change to its loyalty scheme in the UK.
