1. Jack Skellington

This The Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired drink is exactly what you need to complete your Halloween. Like many “secret menu” items, this Jack Skellington Frappuccino doesn’t actually exist, but you can order it if you know the recipe. First, ask for a pumpkin spice Frappuccino, and then add in a shot of chai syrup. Take it up a notch by adding in a shot of espresso for more caffeine. If you add whipped cream, it’ll make your drink look like the snow-filled Christmas Town.

2. Pennywise

Making its original launch in 2017 following the first It movie, the Pennywise Frappuccino is making the rounds once again following the debut of It Chapter Two. Order a vanilla bean Frappuccino with strawberry purée on top to float your way out of Starbucks with a Pennywise drink in hand.

3. Maleficent

While this drink is listed as being exclusive to Disney parks, most locations should be able to make it aside from the matcha whipped cream. Order a vanilla bean Frappuccino with blueberry juice and dragon fruit blended in.

4. Mermaid

This one is a little more complicated as the drizzle takes some time to make since it’s not readily available. For the frappe, order a vanilla bean Frappuccino with freeze-dried whole blackberries, line the cup with the green drizzle and top with whipped cream. To make the green drizzle, take eight pumps white mocha sauce, three pumps toasted coconut syrup, three scoops of matcha and mix in a pitcher until smooth. 

5. Butterbeer

Can’t make it to Hogsmeade? Visit your local Starbucks to snag a delicious Harry Potter butterbeer-inspired drink instead. Line a cup with caramel drizzle, ask for creme Frappuccino base with whole milk, add three pumps caramel syrup, three pumps toffee nut syrup and top with caramel drizzle.
