As the festive season approaches, Canadians have a new reason to celebrate their love of coffee. Second Cup Café has officially unveiled its highly anticipated Holiday 2025 menu, and this year’s offerings come with an innovative twist. The coffeehouse chain has become the first national coffee brand in Canada to introduce the Pacific Foods Barista Series Pistachio Non-Dairy Beverage, giving customers an elevated, plant-based option to enjoy throughout the holiday season.
This exciting addition marks a major milestone for both brands. For Second Cup Café, it demonstrates a continued commitment to creativity, inclusivity, and sustainability in its beverage lineup. For Pacific Foods, it represents a significant expansion of its acclaimed Barista Series, tailored for café-quality coffee experiences. Together, they’re bringing something refreshingly new—and distinctly indulgent—to the Canadian coffee scene.
A Festive First: Pistachio Non-Dairy Beverages Arrive in Canada
Known for its smooth, nutty flavor and creamy texture, the Pacific Foods Pistachio Non-Dairy Beverage offers a unique and luxurious alternative to traditional dairy. This plant-based drink blends seamlessly into espresso-based beverages, creating a silky mouthfeel without overpowering the coffee’s flavor.
For many Canadians who have embraced plant-based lifestyles, the addition of pistachio to the non-dairy lineup offers a welcome expansion beyond almond, oat, and soy. Second Cup Café’s new partnership ensures customers can experience the same quality and indulgence they expect from the brand, now with a modern, eco-conscious twist.
“Our holiday menu has always been about creating moments of comfort and connection,” explains Cendrine Lavigne, Marketing Director of Second Cup. “This year, we’re proud to take it a step further by introducing new drinks made with Pacific Foods’ pistachio non-dairy beverage— a luxurious, plant-based option that’s both indulgent and innovative. It’s a new way to celebrate the season.”
Holiday Indulgence, Elevated
This year’s lineup is a harmonious blend of classic favorites and bold new creations, crafted to capture the warmth, nostalgia, and excitement of the holidays. At the center of it all are two new signature drinks that highlight the pistachio beverage in all its creamy glory:
- Dubai Chocolate Latte – A decadent combination of rich chocolate and aromatic pistachio syrup, blended with velvety pistachio non-dairy beverage for a smooth, elegant finish. This drink delivers a taste of indulgent luxury that feels both familiar and exotic.
- Dubai Hot Chocolate – For those seeking comfort without caffeine, this version pairs pistachio’s subtle nuttiness with deep chocolate flavor, creating a beautifully balanced winter treat that’s both comforting and contemporary.
These two signature beverages capture the magic of the season while offering something distinctly new—a coffeehouse experience that feels crafted, inclusive, and sophisticated.
Returning Favorites and Fresh Twists
While the pistachio creations headline the menu, Second Cup Café hasn’t forgotten its loyal fans who eagerly await the return of their traditional favorites each holiday season. Returning to the menu are:
- Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate, a creamy white chocolate drink with a refreshing peppermint twist and crushed candy cane topping.
- Eggnog Latte, a quintessential festive classic featuring the comforting flavor of eggnog blended with espresso and a hint of nutmeg.
- Holiday London Fog, the ultimate cozy cup combining Earl Grey tea, vanilla syrup, and steamed milk for a soothing winter companion.
- Cinnamon Toast Latte, a warm and spiced beverage that evokes childhood breakfast nostalgia with every sip.
For those looking to cool things down, Second Cup Café has added new, refreshing seasonal beverages:
- Cinnamon Toast Iced Matcha, a fusion of the earthy tones of matcha with the comforting sweetness of cinnamon.
- Frosted Coco Berry Infuzer, an energizing creation featuring Red Bull Winter Edition, delivering a fruity and frosty burst of holiday cheer.
A Celebration of Comfort, Community, and Choice
Every year, the Second Cup holiday menu serves as an invitation to slow down and savor the moment—whether that means catching up with friends over a warm latte, enjoying a solo moment of reflection, or simply adding a touch of joy to the daily coffee run.
With the introduction of Pacific Foods’ Pistachio Non-Dairy Beverage, Second Cup is also recognizing the growing shift in Canadian consumers’ preferences. More people than ever are exploring plant-based and dairy-free lifestyles, not only for health reasons but also as part of a broader commitment to sustainability.
The collaboration between Second Cup Café and Pacific Foods represents this evolving culture of choice and inclusivity—where innovation meets indulgence and where everyone can find a drink that suits their tastes and values.
Leading the Way in Canadian Coffee Innovation
Second Cup Café’s decision to debut Pacific Foods’ Pistachio Non-Dairy Beverage on a national scale cements its reputation as a trendsetter in the Canadian coffee industry. While other chains have introduced oat and almond alternatives, Second Cup is now pioneering a new flavor frontier, one that celebrates sophistication, texture, and taste.
The company’s emphasis on seasonal storytelling—offering beverages that reflect both the spirit of the holidays and the latest culinary trends—has become part of its brand identity. This year’s pistachio-forward creations demonstrate a deep understanding of what modern coffee drinkers crave: flavor experiences that are luxurious yet approachable, and indulgent yet mindful.
A Limited-Time Holiday Experience
Second Cup Café’s Holiday 2025 menu is now available at participating locations across Canada for a limited time only, inviting customers to immerse themselves in the flavors, aromas, and magic of the season. Whether enjoyed in-store, ordered for takeout, or shared with loved ones, these festive beverages bring a touch of holiday joy to every cup.
From pistachio lattes and peppermint delights to spiced classics and berry-infused energy drinks, the menu offers something for every palate and every mood. More than just a collection of beverages, it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and the enduring Canadian love for coffee.
As Canadians bundle up and embrace the chilly months ahead, Second Cup Café’s holiday lineup serves as a reminder that sometimes, the simplest pleasures—a cozy café, a steaming cup, a familiar festive scent—can make the season truly special.
With this year’s launch, Second Cup Café and Pacific Foods have not only introduced a groundbreaking beverage to Canadian coffee culture but have also redefined what a holiday menu can be: inclusive, imaginative, and irresistibly delicious.
