Many of its staple drinks are also either vegan or vegan-adaptable, including iced tea and fruit “Coolers.
” “Our mission is to get more plants onto more plates,” said Firth and Theasby at the time. They added that the collaboration makes it “more convenient than ever for customers to enjoy flavourful plant-based options without compromising on taste or accessibility.” Costa competitors Pret and Starbucks have each also launched Christmas menus for 2024, complete with new plant-based options.
The former has introduced the “ Very Merry Lunch ” sandwich with a carrot, sweet potato, and chickpea-based filling, while the latter rolled out the “Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte.” Read more: Starbucks Drops Dairy-Free Milk Surcharge.
