Starting today, Nov. 8, 2012, Caribou will once again offer its signature holiday beverages in stores - Ho Ho Mint Mocha and Fa La Latte - while the bakery will bring back everyone's favorite gingerbread. Additionally, Caribou is excited to introduce a new holiday tradition this year by offering real caramel to any drink and two new delicious seasonal beverages to help fans warm up in their local Caribou coffeehouse. The new caramel is made with real butter and cream and gives the beverages a rich, thick and deep caramel flavor.
Caribou's holiday limited-time-only food and beverage line-up will include:
NEW Salted Caramel Budino: Sweet cream and espresso with rich caramel and a light sprinkle of salt topped with a caramel mousse
NEW Salted Caramel Mocha: Rich chocolate balanced with the sweetness of caramel and a pleasant sprinkle of salt topped with a caramel mousse
Fa La Latte: Creamy eggnog mixed with espresso, whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg
Ho Ho Mint Mocha: Milk, dark or white chocolate mocha with mint syrup, crushed peppermint candy with whipped cream on top
Gingerbread: A moist, lightly spiced slice of traditional gingerbread topped with buttercream icing
Guests can stop by Caribou to enjoy these limited-time-only menu offerings throughout the holiday season, while they get comfortable in Caribou's signature cozy coffeehouses. Guests can also spread the cheer by purchasing fun and creative gifts from Caribou's 2012 holiday collection - either in stores or online - for everyone on their shopping lists:

A variety of gift sets - all offered for under $25 - and Caribou holiday-themed gift cards, for last-minute gifting needs
Caribou Coffee's 20th Anniversary
This year's holiday season also marks one of the company's most exciting milestones yet: Caribou's 20th Anniversary on Dec. 14, 2012.
