The holidays are officially here! Well, first we have to get to Thanksgiving and then to the main event, but you get what I mean. Chains all across the country are unveiling their new holiday menus to celebrate accordingly. Wawa isn’t one to miss out on the fun. They’ve got quite the lineup to show off this week so let’s dive in!

Enough Drinks To Drown An Ocean
Can you drown an ocean? We’re about to find out, thanks to Wawa. They’ve got more drinks on one menu than you ever thought possible. I guess that’s what happens when you aim to please everyone. You have to have a drink to fit everyone’s tastes. These new drinks (and a few non-drinks, too) are now available at your local Wawa, so let’s check them out!
Peppermint Cookies & Cream Smoothie: There’s a lot to digest here. Literally. I’m incredibly fascinated by the Wawa cream smoothie―especially this chaotic holiday version. Wawa’s combining peppermint and cookies and cream which is a sin to a C&C lover like me (it’s a delicate flavor that will easily be overpowered by the peppermint). Those flavors are blended with a soft serve base and ice for what is technically a smoothie, but an affront to actual milkshakes.
Snickerdoodle Cream Smoothie: This one’s a bit tamer than the last cream smoothie, although I am still cautious on the format in general. There’s little that can go wrong with combining snickerdoodle flavor and a bit of cream while blending it up with some ice. We may freeze to death after finishing off this one, but it’ll be worth the trouble.
Iced Peppermint Mocha Macchiato with Chocolate Cold Foam: This one is giving high brow energy. The finest among us are going to order the iced peppermint mocha macchiato with chocolate cold foam. It’s a nice balance between the finer things and still getting in some holiday flavors.
Iced Peppermint Cookies & Cream Latte with Chocolate Cold Foam: And the award for most flavors packed into one drink goes to the iced peppermint cookies and cream latte with chocolate cold foam! Wow. What a mouthful. Wawa’s going to have to come up with some kind of code for this one so whoever tries to order it isn’t late for work.
Snickerdoodle Matcha: Surely this one’s authentic to Japanese tradition. Matcha’s taken over every coffee shop in the nation so, of course, we had to start riffing on it. Warm cinnamon flavors get paired with an earthy bit of matcha for something we’re truly afraid of.
Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate: Just a quintessential part of the holidays. Warm up with a piping hot cup of peppermint mocha hot chocolate! Now some would argue that they could have just called this one peppermint hot chocolate, considering the mocha/hot chocolate are a little redundant, and honestly I’d have to agree with those people.
Holiday Blend Coffee: Nothing wrong with picking up a staple for the holidays. If you want a bit of Wawa magic in your own home, grab a bag of their holiday blend coffee grounds to brew up!
Christmas Tree Donut: Don’t get your hopes up too much. Though these Christmas tree donuts are cute as a button, they’re only available in the Mid-Atlantic region. The news doesn’t come as a total loss to me considering I don’t have any Wawas nearby. Someone please try this one out and tell me how it is!
