Vanilla Bean Frappuccino, strawberry puree, and whipped cream with sprinkles are layered in this colorful holiday Starbucks secret menu drink. See how the drink is made and how to order it.
Santa Claus Frappuccino
- Santa Claus Frappuccino is a frozen vanilla drink with layers of strawberry puree, topped with whipped cream and red green sprinkles. It’s a customized Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino that has become popular, making it a Starbucks secret menu drink.
- Secret menu drinks shouldn’t be ordered by the drink name since Starbucks baristas aren’t trained to make them, so you need to order it knowing the drink recipe (ingredients and directions).
- This drink can only be ordered in person since there isn’t a way to request layered strawberry puree on the app. (Trust me, I tried.)
- The red green sprinkles are a seasonal topping and it’s only available during the holidays. But, you can order the drink without the sprinkles any time of the year.

How It Tastes
The first sip is of creamy vanilla and a fruity strawberry burst. It’s like winter and summer all at once. As you drink more, it gets creamier and then when you get to the second strawberry layer, the fruit flavor perks up again.
It tastes like a drinkable strawberry cream cake.
It’s not overly sweet and it’s a good option for anyone avoiding caffeine since there’s no caffeine in this drink.
