Starbucks customers have been enjoying the 2016 holiday cups for nearly a month now – and the coffee company just launched a hot new winter beverage to accompany them.

Starting Dec. 2, Starbucks stores will offer their newest drink: Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa.

Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa is, "made with steamed milk, white chocolate mocha sauce and cinnamon dolce syrup topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon sugar," Starbucks explained in a release sent to Mashable.

The new beverage joins three other cocoas on Starbucks' menu: Peppermint Hot Cocoa, Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa and White Chocolate Hot Cocoa.

And in case a hot cocoa isn't enough sweetness for you, participating U.S. Starbucks stores are offering $1 cake pops with the purchase of any hot chocolate through Dec. 25.

Several varieties of Starbucks' hot cocoa are also available in stores.
