Starbucks secret menu hack means you can get a Buddy the Elf Christmas Frappuccino


Fancy channeling Buddy himself?

Starbucks’ black Phantom Frappuccino is now long gone, much like the Halloween pumpkins that previously lined the streets.

It’s certainly not all bad, as the chain released their Christmas menu recently, complete with the iconic red cups.

This year’s iced drinks include a bunch of festive Frappuccinos, including gingerbread coffee, gingerbread cream, Toffee Nut latte and Salted Caramel Brownie.

However, this one might actually blow their official options right out of the water.

It’s being dubbed the Buddy the Elf Frappuccino, and was dreamed up by the team at TotallyTheBomb.com.

The treat is one of the ‘secret menu’ items at Starbucks, meaning you won’t be able to see it on the board. But, with a few special requests, you can have your very own Christmas confection.

Instead of asking for this, you’ll need to follow the recipe below. Otherwise, you could end up looking like quite a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.

The colours are certainly Buddy-esque, with a green hue to the drink itself, and festive red sprinkles on the cream on top.

As for the taste, that’s also full on Elf, with candy cane and plenty of sugar. Here’s how to order it:

  • Ask for a Matcha Frappuccino, but with peppermint syrup instead of the standard one.
  • Say a big huge YES when they ask if you’d like whipped cream.
  • Ask if they can sprinkle the top with white Christmas sprinkles. These usually go on top of a Toasted White Mocha.

That’s it.

From there, you can simply marvel at the fact you’ve got something no-one else has. That is until it catches on, and every Instagram from now until 25 December is Buddy-fied.
