The festive season will soon be upon us and to celebrate, Costa has revealed its Christmas drinks for 2017.

And luckily for all of you eagerly-awaiting to taste-test the new menu, they are available to purchase from today (November 2).

The coffee chain is releasing a variety of delicious drinks, sweet treats and sandwiches as part of its festive range.

This year the orange hot chocolate has been axed, as has the amaretti latte - reports the Daily Mirror.

But there are some exciting new additions to the list - including a hot chocolate and latte inspired by billionaire's shortbread.

Cold drinks are making an appearance for the first time ever with the introduction of Costa's new 'Frostinos'.

Headlining the drinks menu this year is the Billionaire’s Hot Chocolate , as voted for by Costa Coffee Club members, which includes layers of caramel sauce, a freshly whipped cream topping and shortbread crumbs.

Costa were so impressed with the customer’s choice that they decided to expand the Billionaire’s range, including the Billionaire’s Latte which combines Belgian chocolate sauce and caramel sauce with Costa’s signature Mocha Italia Blend.

Brand new Frostinos

For the first time ever, Costa will serve its famous Frostinos during the festive season.

A decadently creamy cup of frosted deliciousness will be sure to keep fraught festive shoppers cool as they sprint from store to store ticking off their shopping lists.

The Billionaire’s Latte Frostino is the perfect chance to be a little bit naughty this Christmas, while the Black Forest Frostino is a frosty new take on the fan favourite hot chocolate.

Returning drinks

Other returning festive favourites include the Gingerbread and Cream Latte , Honeycombe Latte , Mint Hot Chocolate and the bigger and better than last year, rich and creamy Lindt Hot Chocolate as well as Hot Spiced Apple .
