For many customers, the return of Starbucks holiday cups signals the holidays are here. Starbucks is debuting four new holiday hot cups that
capture the merriment of the season, with designs including Joyful Connection,
Lyrical Landscape, Siren Chorus and Warm Wishes â plus a new holiday cold cup.
Starbucks fans and Ozians are in for a fantastical experience, as Starbucks is partnering with
Universal Pictures to celebrate the new cinematic event, Wicked. Through this partnership, the
filmâs themes of connection, belonging and joy come to life through exclusive Starbucks beverages
and merchandise.
On Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024 Starbucks customers in the U.S., Canada and select international markets
can experience the magic of the collaboration inspired by Oz and its beloved characters and
places, including the Emerald City. With new beverages, merchandise and more, Starbucks and
Wicked fans have much to look forward to, because of course, pink goes good with green.
Wicked, arriving in theaters this holiday season, on November 22, is the untold story of the witches
of Oz. The film centers on Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green
skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by
privilege, who has yet to discover her true heart. As they forge an unlikely friendship, their
extraordinary adventures will see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked
Witch of the West. Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked
Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 21, 2025.
Wickedly Delicious Drinks
Flying into Starbucks stores for a limited time are two new handcrafted beverages inspired by Ozâs
iconic duo, Glinda and Elphaba. Both pictured above in banner.
Glindaâs Pink Potion
This fantabulous creation features a Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage hand-
shaken with creamy coconut milk, ice and a scoop of real, freeze-dried dragonfruit. Topped with
silky-smooth nondairy strawberry cold foam, the drink is finished with an Oz-dusting of magic
colourful candy sprinkles.
âWhen dreaming up this beverage, we were inspired by Glindaâs bright character and of course her
iconic association with all things pink,â said Natalia Vasquez, Starbucks beverage developer. âThis
colorful beverage is topped with a nondairy cold foam infused with strawberry puree to add even
more pops of pink, along with colorful candy sprinkles for a drink that is as vibrant as Glinda
herself.â
Elphabaâs Cold Brew
This thrillifying creation features Starbucks Cold Brew, a custom blend of beans grown to steep long
and cold, handcrafted in small batches daily, for a super-smooth flavor. The Cold Brew is
sweetened with peppermint-flavored syrup, topped with silky-smooth nondairy matcha cold foam
and colorful green candy sprinkles for an Oz-dusting of magic.
âWe were inspired by Elphabaâs bold energy and stunning green skin when creating this recipe,â said
Rosalyn Batingan, Starbucks beverage developer. âOur signature cold brew gets an unexpected
twist of peppermint topped with a nondairy matcha cold foam for a touch of Elphabaâs famous
green, finished with colourful candy sprinkles.â
For Your Dearest & Darlingest
Starting November 7, look to the Western Sky for new Wicked-inspired drinkware and Starbucks
Cards in select Starbucks stores. With Starbucks Cards straight from Oz and a variety of tumblers
and cold cups glistening in vibrant shades of green, pink and gold to choose from, Starbucks and
Wicked fans will be ready to defy gravity.
Starbucks Wicked-inspired beverages and merchandise are available for a limited time, while
supplies last.
Universal Pictures Canada’s Wicked arrives in theaters November 22, 2024.
Available in stores tomorrow, Starbucks Canada unveil the aroma of pecan pie, plus brown, buttery notes in their new collection of pecan-inspired beverages!
The Pecan Crunch Oat Latte also stirs up the age-old debate – how is the word pecan pronounced? According to Canadians – there may not be one right answer. A new survey commissioned by Starbucks Canada reveals that while nearly three quarters of Canadians (72 per cent) pronounce the nut as âPee-Can,â one fifth of Canadians (17 per cent) are contrarians, pronouncing it as âPee-Kahn.â Notably, a handful of Albertans, approximately eight per cent, indicate that âPuh-Canâ is their preferred pronunciation.
Here is the lineup of Pecan Crunch beverages at stores in Canada starting September 19, 2024, for a limited time while supplies last:
Pecan Crunch Oat Latte – Made with StarbucksÂŽ Blonde Espresso and oat beverage, this fall beverage has layers of flavour including notes of nutty pecan, rich brown butter and holiday baking spices, and is finished off with a pecan crunch topping.
Iced Pecan Crunch Oat Latte – Nutty flavours of pecan, rich brown buttery notes and holiday baking spices come together with StarbucksÂŽ Blonde Espresso, ice and oat beverage for a smooth, flavourful treat, topped with nondairy vanilla cold foam and pecan crunch topping.
Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam – Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam offers customers another way to customize their favourite beverage with a sweet and salty fall twist! This cold foam is made with pecan syrup and salt. Also available as nondairy.
And that’s a wrap! What a wonderful TIFF this was! We’re quickly going to drop a line to say thank you to all of you for your amazing support, and also the generosity of our partners at the Festival who make it all possible for us! Also so grateful to our Team of Contributors: David Baldwin, Amanda Gilmore and Nicholas Porteous for their awesome reviews.
We’re crawling past the finish line and straight to the sauna for some overdue rest and relaxation. We were at it every single day of the Fest.
Our Official Partners
CP24 â For a 15th year in-a-row, we were a subject matter expert on films and star sightings at TIFF at the widely-watched news network, which also streams worldwide for free on their website CP24.com. In case you missed it, here’s a couple appearances we did:
HONDA CANADA â We were thrilled to continue our long-standing partnership with our friends at HONDA CANADA, allowing us to travel in style this TIFF in the 2024 Passport Trail Sport. In addition to getting us there every day safe and efficiently, it also served as a quiet oasis for us to take a quick nap, collect our thoughts and do our posts privately. So grateful for this powerful machine.
STARBUCKS CANADA â Starbucks Canada has been there for us for several TIFFs. So grateful to be fuelled by their Fall Menu selections, keeping us awake! While our fave always will be the Pumpkin Spice Latte, their Apple Crisp Nondairy Chai, Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte, Baked Apple Croissant and Raccoon Cake Pops also are must-tries! Thrilled to give away gift cards to our Readers and Followers this TIFF, who were following our journey.
NIKON CANADA â We were thrilled to use the Nikon Z-30, a superb compact mirrorless camera with a range of lens options. We shot with a 50-250mm lens, helping us reach that bit closer to the stars. While we shoot on the go a lot on our phone, nothing beats the clarity and precision of actual camera on the red carpet!
OEB BREAKFAST CO. â Hands down, one of our favourite Brunch spots in the City, with two locations in Toronto. Two of our lucky Readers and Followers got to win gift cards to enjoy for themselves their greatness! They also now are an offcial TIFF Hospitality Partner too.
MINAMI TORONTO â Minami are an official TIFF Hospitality partner and did you know our queen Cate Blanchett was spotted there having lunch? There is no higher endorsement for their elevated, sophisticated Japanese fare. One of our Readers and Followers won a $100 gift card to enjoy a meal here.
LITTLE SISTER â With two beautiful locations in Toronto, this marriage of Dutch and Indonesian cuisine, with a phenomenal drink list is pure innovation. One of our Readers and Followers also won a $100 gift card to enjoy a meal.
SANDBANKS WINERY â Hailling from Prince Edward County, Sandbanks Winery were a perfect way to wind down after this feverish dream of a Festival. Their Sparkling RosĂŠ is perfect for evenings and this time of year I find myself gravitating to a nice sweet Riesling!
ETIKET â The goal of this luxurious beauty and wellness boutique is to provide everyone with a personalized, educational and friendly experience offering results oriented skin care and treatment services, niche fragrances, and luxury beauty products. We got to enjoy a freshening right before the Festival and also near the end. While we’re a little sleepy on the inside, you cannot deny that we LOOK rejuvenated!
UNIQLO CANADA â We are a huge fan of Uniqloâs style, comfort and quality, so it made perfect sense to partner with them. For all our TV appearances, we sported Uniqlo and Uniqlo only. Clothing that makes our lives better.
Congratulations to Ashley Smart who won our TIFF ’24 Surival Pack, featuring goodies from our partners!

Till next TIFF!
Mr. Will
We are so excited at all the possibilities the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival might hold. This is after all our first full-capacity TIFF in some time and some huge A-Listers and exciting emerging names will be here! We’ve seen all the roadblocks these past few years and it feels so good to know that nothing is standing in our way this time. This will be the TIFF that we all deserve!
We are delighted to announce to return of some of our longtime partners and new ones this year. TIFF ’24 runs September 4-14, 2024. The Team (David Baldwin, Nicholas Porteous and Amanda Gilmore) and I are thrilled to bring you our best coverage yet! New this year for us will be one-minute immediate reactions to some of the Festival’s key titles!
Team Mr. Will round-up their most-anticipated films of TIFF â24. In what will finally be the TIFF we all deserve after many setbacks these past few years, it almost is a little tough to choose from a pool of so many great films!
1. THE SUBSTANCE
2. ANORA
3. MEGALOPOLIS
4. SATURDAY NIGHT
5. QUEER
TIFF â24 is here and I am positively pumped for the 11 days of Cinema ahead of us. My top five must-sees are films I have not stopped thinking about since they were announced and can barely hide my excitement for finally being able to have them blasted into my eyeballs. Even looking past those titles, there is so much to see at this yearâs Festival that even if they somehow miss the mark, I know there are dozens more that are going to outdo every single one of my expectations. This yearâs crop of films is shaping up to be an all-timer, so get ready for the best time of the year. Fingers and toes crossed that the Scotiabank Escalator does not fail us!
1. MEGALOPOLIS
2. FRIENDSHIP
3. THE LIFE OF CHUCK
4. THE BRUTALIST
5. UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Iâm thrilled for TIFF â24 to be my first as an accredited member of the press, because it offers a MASSIVE trove of potential cinematic goodness. If I had to narrow my list of most anticipated movies down to five, and I do, I would start by giving a shout out to Matthew Rankinâs Universal Language. After experiencing his absolutely cuckoo bananas debut, Mackenzie King âbiopicâ The Twentieth Century in IMAX at TIFF â19, Iâm ready to see absolutely anything with his name on it. Next up, Andrew Deyoungâs Friendship. Iâm a fan of Deyoungâs short-form collaborations with Kate Berlant and John Early (check out â555â on Vimeo). On top of that, I cannot resist the potentially explosive comic chemistry between Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. Although The Life of Chuck is another Stephen King adaptation from Mike Flanagan, it may represent a fun tonal departure for the two masters of terror, as Tom Hiddleston tumbles backwards through his life. The Brutalist is Brady Corbetâs followup to his relatively unseen debut gem Vox Lux, which included one of Natalie Portmanâs best performances. Itâs a three-and-a-half-hour period piece featuring Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones as Laszlo and ErzsĂŠbet Toth, who escape the Holocaust to make their way in America. Finally, Megalopolis is a long, long, longgggg gestating project of Francis Ford Coppola that he financed with his own (roughly) $135 million. Though word of mouth isnât exceptionally positive, it promises to be a singular and completely unrestrained vision from a legendary Filmmaker. You will not find big swings like this every year.
(in alphabetical order only)
ANORA
BABYGIRL
THE BRUTALIST
HERETIC
SATURDAY NIGHT
Itâs already that time of year again! TIFFmas has arrived and this year packs a punch! After the strikes in Hollywood last year, TIFF just wasnât the same. But this year, it will be in full swing and the films selected reflect it! There are so many names both behind and in front of the camera thatâs making me anticipate a slew of great films. Itâs been hard to narrow it down to only five. But below are my five most anticipated of this yearâs Fest. I chose them because the talent involved and the stories being told are all unique from the next yet have gripped me since hearing about them!
1. ANORA
2. QUEER
3. SATURDAY NIGHT
4. NIGHTBITCH
5. BABYGIRL
Weâve already had the joy of seeing one of TIFF â24âs hottest tickets following all the buzz of its Palme dâOr victory at Cannes. ANORA is masterful storytelling, with a sublime breakthrough performance from its star Mikey Madison. Luca Guadagnino can do no wrong in my books, hence I am ecstatic that his latest, QUEER will be at the Festival. Addes bonus that it stars Daniel Craig. Anyone who knows me, knows that I adore SNL, so it should come as no shock Iâm ecstatic Jason Reitmanâs telling of the late night staple gets its own origins story! And will this finally be Amy Adamsâ year? The six-time Oscar nominee is back after a hiatus with NIGHTBITCH, which has her convinced she is turning into a dog. Here for this. BABYGIRL received tons of praise in Venice, propelling it up my list with queen Nicole Kidman doing what she does best, embodying complex women and their intimate struggles.

Mr. Will
Exciting news! Starbucks Canada are launching their Fall menu sooner than you think! Starting August 22, 2024 these sre the exciting items you can expect, in addition to the return of the iconic PSL!
-Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice: The beverage that started the pumpkin spice craze more than 20 years ago and that can resist is back at Starbucks and continues to be its most popular seasonal beverage.
– The apple of your eye: Originating as a popular customer customization, the NEW Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Chai features warming spice flavours of chai combined with creamy oat beverage and topped with silky, nondairy apple crisp cold foam.
– New seasonal in-app exclusives: Customers can also find two NEW fall beverages, exclusively in the Starbucks app: The Iced Caramel Apple Cream Latte i and nondairy Iced Honey Apple Almond Flat White.
– Bake your day with Autumn goodies: Joining the fall menu for a limited time while supplies last, the NEW Baked Apple Croissant and as a nod to one of the most ubiquitous animals in Canada, customers can enjoy the NEW Raccoon Cake Pop.
– Canadaâs first Starbucks x Stanley: Along with new seasonal drinkware, the viral Starbucks x Stanley Quencher is making its way North of border for the first time. Google Trends indicate that Canadian searches for Starbucks Stanley Cups skyrocketed when they launched in the US so now we get our very own!
More fall favourites will be returning to the menu this year including the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, the Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, the Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato along with seasonal sweet and savoury food items in the bakery case!
This is not a drill! A refreshing twist is returning to the Starbucks beverage lineup. Cool Lime Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage, one of the original and most beloved Refreshers beverages, is making a juicy comeback, and just in time for a lime green Brat summer.
Starting August 13th, the citrusy sensation will be available at Starbucks stores across Canada for a limited time while supplies last, along with the NEW Lime Coconut Drink, Cool Lime Lemonade Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage and Spicy Lime.
In 2012, Starbucks launched the Cool Lime Refreshers Beverage globally as one of its first-ever Refreshers Beverages, which delivered a distinctly new take on thirst-quenching refreshment while providing a natural boost of energy from green coffee extract and real fruit juice.
After leaving the menu in 2019, the Cool Lime Refreshers Beverage has amassed a massive following of loyal Canadian fans whoâve launched online petitions and regularly take to social media clamouring for a comeback. In fact, Starbucks has received more requests for it than any other beverage on the menu.
Hereâs what you need to know about the returning and new beverages:
¡ Cool Lime Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage is a lively blend of lime flavour, shaken with ice and a real lime slice. Itâs a delicious pick-me-up delivering zesty hydration. Caffeinated with Green coffee extract and served over ice, this is the pick-me-up your afternoon is calling for.
¡ For customers that enjoy the delightful zing of lemonade, NEW Cool Lime Lemonade Starbucks RefreshersŽ Beverage is a bright and refreshing beverage combining Cool Lime Starbucks RefreshersŽ base, mint flavour and a real lime slice shaken with ice and lemonade.
¡ The NEW Lime Coconut Drink adds creamy coconut beverage to the Cool Lime RefreshersŽ beverage for a bright and dreamy sip.
¡ Continuing to build on the ‘swicyâ trend with the return of Starbucks line-up of Spicy Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers beverages, the new Spicy Lime brings together flavours of zesty lime and lemonade with a Spicy Chili Powder Blend that awakens the senses. A refreshing escape with plenty of heat!
Say hello to summer with a splash of our oh-so-cool new seasonal icon! Three new Starbucks- RefreshersÂŽ Beverages feature a cool combination of summer berries that is bright blue with new, juicy raspberry pearls!
Summer-Berry Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage features a sweet and summery blend of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors shaken with ice and poured over a layer of new popping raspberry flavoured pearls.
Summer-Berry Lemonade Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverage is bright and refreshing. The drink combines Summer-Berry Refreshers shaken with ice and lemonade and poured over a layer of popping raspberry flavoured pearls.
Summer Skies Drink is a dreamy sip thatâs bursting with fruity flavour. The non-dairy beverage features Summer-Berry Refreshers creamy coconut beverage poured over ice and a layer of new popping raspberry flavoured pearls that bring a burst of raspberry flavour.
The new raspberry flavoured pearls add a pop of flavour and colour and will be a first for Starbucks menus in the U.S. and Canada. The beverage development team at Starbucks drew inspiration from drinks around the world, with Starbucks stores in Asia Pacific having tapped into the trend in recent years, offering a Dark Caramel Coffee Sphere Frappuccino with bursting coffee spheres and a Peach Plum Pearls Oolong with plum-flavoured pearls.
The new pearls build on Starbucks leadership and innovation in textured beverages, which has been on the menu since 2012 with the global debut of Starbucks RefreshersÂŽ Beverages, known for their real fruit pieces of strawberry pineapple and dragonfruit (which most recently got a spicy kick!).
Enjoy any of the new summer beverages with the new Pineapple Cloud Cake, an airy cake layered with a lightweight pineapple cream and pineapple spread, including whole fruit pieces, topped with a sweet drizzle, so every bite feels like a summer oasis.
Additionally, Starbucks is introducing a new line of vibrant, summer-inspired drinkware. From cold cups in a variety of trending colours and prints, to ever-popular iridescent bling cold cup, Starbucks summer merchandise is the perfect addition for any sun-soaked moment.
