Hong Kong‘s Instagram-worthy Snowman Dark Mocha features a cute candy snowman placed on top of the whipped cream, finished with snowflake toppings. If you’re a big mocha fan, don’t forget to try the Wishing Star Dark Mocha, exclusive to Asia, that features a swirl of green tea whipped cream along with wishing star-shaped crisps. Japan has some of the most inventive flavors out there, and this Christmas, customers can indulge in the Santa Boots Chocolate Frappuccino, the Nutty White Chocolate Frappuccino and Nutty White Mocha, and the Merry Strawberry Cake.

On the other side of the world, Europe gets a new Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate made with mocha sauce combined with marshmallow syrup, topped with marshmallow flavored whipped cream and finished with a caramelized sugar topping. Ponche Navideño, also known as Christmas punch, is now available at the coffeehouse chain’s branch in Mexico. The beverage is made with warm hibiscus tea flavored with apple, guava, cinnamon and brown sugar.
