RIP Starbucks' Gingerbread Latte.

  • Starbucks unveiled its US holiday menu on Wednesday, which included its longstanding holiday beverage, the Peppermint Mocha, among others. 
  • But one of its holiday specials was noticeably absent from the list: the Gingerbread Latte. 
  • As a result, diehard fans took to social media to complain; one fan even set up a petition urging Starbucks to bring back the drink.

Starbucks unveiled its new US holiday menu on Wednesday, and almost instantly it provoked a backlash online. 

The new menu, which did include its longstanding holiday beverage, the Peppermint Mocha, noticeably did not include another well-known holiday-themed beverage, the Gingerbread Latte.

As a result, diehard fans took to social media to complain. One customer even set up a petition urging Starbucks to bring back their "beloved drink."

Starbucks responded to angry fans on Twitter confirming reports that the beverage had been taken off the holiday menu and offered up alternative suggestions to placate these customers.

But it might not have helped as some customers are already threatening to go elsewhere for their gingerbread fix, specifically rival chain Dunkin' Donuts, which offers up its own version of the hot drink.
