Starbucks pushed out multiple holiday limited items on the bakery menu.

Bakery Treats

The Reindeer cake pop tastes similar to the birthday cake pop, but the cute outer icing makes it more popular. (Sarah Yang)

Reindeer Cake Pop

Price: $2.95 to $3.25

The Reindeer Cake Pop is shaped as a cute reindeer head made of vanilla cake on the interior. It is covered in colorful chocolate icing with Rudoff’s red nose for a remarkable emphasis. The first bite is soft and smooth, and  the familiar sweet combination of vanilla and chocolate icing just proves that they are the best match for each other. This festive little treat makes an ideal boost to the holiday spirit.

Cranberry Bliss Bar

Price: $3.45 for one single piece and $17.95 for one tray of six pieces

The Cranberry Bliss Bar, which also comes in a tray with six slices, is a perfect dish to wrap up the holiday season as well as this review. The generous amount of dried cranberries in this blondie cake is more than worthy of the price. The orange-flavored cream cheese icing distinguishes the cake from other bakery items with a sweet and sour fruity taste. Each bite carries a variety in texture: the smooth icing, chewy cranberries, and soft cake bond together into one piece. 

 

While some stores carry Snowman cookies with blue earmuffs and scarfs, other stores carry those in red. (Sarah Yang)

Snowman Cookie

Price: $2.95 to $3.25

The Snowman Cookie is another great choice for lovers of chocolate icing. The buttery shortbread cookie depicts the snowman, and white chocolate icing colors it. A fun fact of this dessert is that the snowman’s scarf and earpuff vary between red and blue at different stores! Starbucks has always done a good job balancing the sweetness of its items. With this dessert, they make the butter cookie relatively plain, since the thick outer layer of icing is sweet. This adorable snowman that never melts is ready to spend a cozy winter with every customer.
