New bites and drinks are calling your name! If you’re a fan of tenders (who isn’t?), you’re gonna love Wingstop’s latest drop. Meanwhile, Starbucks is set to release a new line of inventive drinks, and no they’re not coffee. While waiting for these new drinks, you have more treats and sips to explore at the French-Korean bakery chain TOUS les JOURS, each one offering a comforting escape from the cold of the winter. Ready to dig in? Let’s dive into these new menu releases!
Starbucks
Looking for a new twist on your coffee? Starbucks got you covered with their upcoming line of drinks! The coffee giant will be dropping new Iced Energy Drinks in Zero Sugar that also feature natural fruity flavors and 160 mg of plant-based caffeine (sucralose). The thing is, there’s no official release date yet, but the word is that the drinks will be released later this spring.
Now, onto the flavors! We mentioned that this new line of drinks are going to have fruity notes. Here are your options:
- Watermelon Twist
- Tropical Peach
- Blueberry Twist
These upcoming drinks are part of the growing trend around functional beverages, which blend energy-boosting ingredients with flavors that consumers crave. While waiting for these new menu releases, there are other options that you can try now. The Starbucks menu has other Iced Energy drink options, including the following:
- Melon Burst
- Tropical Citrus
- Frozen Tropical Citrus with Strawberry Puree
And while we’re on the subject of Starbucks, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the new reasons to stay a little longer inside their coffee shops. First, the condiment bar is back! That means you can add the finishing touches to your drink, whether that’s milk, creamer, or another sweetener. Second, Starbucks also implemented a Coffeehouse Code of Conduct to ensure there are enough clean spaces and comfortable seating for their customers and partners. The coffee giant is also working to simplify their menu to focus on fewer, more popular items to reduce wait times and improve overall consistency and quality.
TOUS les JOURS
Winter is not yet over, so TOUS les JOURS is here to make the days ahead extra cozy! Whether you’re looking for a steaming drink or a comforting pastry (or both), you can find them among the bakery chain’s wide selection of treats and sips.
For the chilly month of February, here are the TOUS les JOURS menu items that stand out:

Wingstop
Now, moving onto something that’s savory and crispy, or to be more exact, crispier…say hello to Wingstop‘s crispier chicken tenders, now available nationwide! Gone are the days when you have to settle for bland, basic tenders because the chain is serving the new ultimate flavor experience. Their new chicken tenders are hand sauced-and-tossed in one of the 12 bold flavors available, paired with the signature ranch dip.
Additionally, Wingstop’s new crispier tenders would be a vehicle for the brand’s craft-made sauces, including iconic options like Lemon Pepper and Hot Honey Rub. To celebrate the launch of these new bites, Wingstop is giving away 1 million tenders for FREE at wingstop.com/MillionTenderGiveaway.
For fans who crave both value and quality, you can enjoy a 3-piece tender combo meal for only $9.99, complete with a ranch, seasoned fries, and drink, available every morning. For big groups, there’s the new Flavor Feast bundle with 16 boneless wings, 6 crispy tenders, three dips, and large fries, for just $23.99.
According to Wingstop’s Chief Revenue Officer, Mark Christenson, their new crispy chicken tenders would bring new guests to the chain and satisfy loyal fans, and more importantly, showcase the brand’s key differentiator—bold flavors. Christenson further added that no one could do flavor like Wingstop.
Can’t get enough of the new tenders? On Wingstop’s website, you have the option to order them in 4, 7, 15, 20, and 30 pieces. There’s also another meal deal to cop up if you’d like to share the gift of flavor with someone: 6-pc Crispy Tender Meal for 2, which include 6 crispy tenders with 2 flavors, 2 dips, regular veggie sticks, and large fries.

From The Club
Who’s excited for those Wingstop chicken tenders that scream flavor bomb? Well, I am! I’ve always been a wing type of person, but the introduction of these new tenders might just have a major effect on me, lol! Starbucks and TOUS les JOURS also have interesting new drinks for us, but I would prefer to get cozy for now and enjoy some Café Mocha with Almond Croissant. Bye, winter blues!
