HTeaO Launches Festive Holiday Lattes and Limited-Edition Cups for the Season
HTeaO, the nation’s leading iced tea franchise known for its refreshing tea-based beverages and commitment to quality, is ringing in the holiday season with a cozy and indulgent twist. For the first time, the brand is introducing two handcrafted holiday lattes — the Snickerdoodle Latte and the Peppermint Mocha Latte — available for a limited time from November 12 through December 31, 2025, at participating locations nationwide. These festive beverages mark another step forward in HTeaO’s expanding coffee program, offering guests a new way to enjoy warmth, comfort, and flavor during the winter months.
A Celebration of Flavor and Comfort
HTeaO has built a loyal following for its premium iced teas, but in recent years, the brand has been broadening its beverage offerings to include high-quality coffee options that cater to every kind of drink enthusiast. The two new lattes—crafted with Free Rein Homestead espresso, HTeaO’s signature coffee blend—represent the perfect fusion of quality ingredients, artisan preparation, and seasonal inspiration.
The Snickerdoodle Latte captures the essence of a holiday cookie in a cup. It features a smooth espresso base infused with cinnamon and cookie butter flavors, topped generously with whipped cream and a final dusting of aromatic cinnamon powder. The drink delivers the nostalgic warmth of freshly baked cookies, perfect for those seeking a sweet and cozy companion to chilly winter days.
For guests craving a refreshing yet indulgent combination, the Peppermint Mocha Latte provides a classic holiday pairing of rich dark chocolate and cool peppermint. The velvety espresso drink is finished with a cloud of whipped cream and a sprinkle of festive candy cane crumble, offering both comfort and cheer in every sip. Both beverages can be enjoyed either iced or hot, giving customers the flexibility to choose their preferred way to celebrate the season.
The iced versions are available in 24 oz cups for $5.89, while the hot lattes come in 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz sizes, with the 16 oz option priced at $5.49. Each drink is thoughtfully designed to balance HTeaO’s signature smooth espresso with rich holiday-inspired flavors, ensuring a consistent, high-quality experience whether served steaming hot or refreshingly chilled.
Introducing HTeaO’s First-Ever Holiday Cups
In addition to the seasonal drinks, HTeaO is also unveiling its first-ever line of holiday cups, bringing a visual element of celebration to match the flavors of the season. These collectible cups, available across all iced drink sizes, transform the brand’s signature look with a festive redesign. The new cup pattern surrounds the classic HTeaO logo with an array of cheerful holiday icons, including snowflakes, ornaments, and sprigs of greenery, creating a vibrant, wintery feel.
Adding to the merriment, HTeaO is temporarily swapping out its traditional blue straws for limited-edition green straws, designed to complement the holiday cup design. The combination of the seasonal cup and green straw evokes the spirit of the holidays, giving each beverage a little extra sparkle and joy. For fans and collectors, these festive cups are not only perfect for sipping but also serve as keepsakes to commemorate the season.
“We wanted to bring a little holiday cheer to every cup,” said Heath Nielsen, President of HTeaO. “From the first sip of peppermint to the comforting taste of snickerdoodle, these lattes are made to spark comfort and connection all season long. Our goal was to create drinks and experiences that make every guest feel special when they walk through our doors.”
Partnering with Free Rein Coffee Company
The new lattes are powered by Free Rein Coffee Company, HTeaO’s trusted partner in sourcing and roasting high-quality coffee. Free Rein’s Homestead espresso blend is known for its balanced profile and smooth finish, making it the ideal base for seasonal beverages like these. The collaboration underscores HTeaO’s dedication to excellence in every cup, ensuring that its coffee program maintains the same premium standards that have made its tea menu so popular nationwide.
Nielsen noted, “We love highlighting our partnership with Free Rein Coffee Company to deliver premium espresso beverages that complement our tea lineup. This collaboration allows us to expand our menu thoughtfully, giving our guests another reason to stop by, celebrate the season, and enjoy something new.”
HTeaO’s ongoing collaboration with Free Rein reflects its mission to innovate within the beverage industry while staying true to its Texas-born roots. The introduction of specialty lattes and creative seasonal offerings signals the company’s ambition to evolve beyond traditional iced teas, appealing to both loyal customers and new visitors seeking exciting, high-quality drink options.

HTeaO’s latest limited-time offerings aim to do just that by combining premium craftsmanship with a sense of celebration. Whether enjoyed on the go or sipped leisurely with friends, the Snickerdoodle Latte and Peppermint Mocha Latte are designed to warm hearts and brighten days through the holiday months.
With their comforting flavors, festive presentation, and signature HTeaO quality, these drinks perfectly capture the spirit of the season. They invite customers to slow down, take a sip, and savor the small joys that make this time of year so special.
