A: Hey there! Did you try the new drink from Starbucks yet?
B: No, I haven't. What is it this time?

A: It's called Joyful Medley Tea Frappuccino and its companion latte! They came out on November 1st.
B: Oh, that sounds interesting! When did they stop selling the Halloween one?

A: Last Friday, October 31st. But don't worry, this new drink has a Christmas-y vibe to it!
B: Really? That's soon, isn't it?

A: Yeah, but that's how things work in Japan! So, the Frappuccino has large strawberry slices at the bottom and whipped cream on top. And for an extra 55 yen, you can get a cute holiday cookie as well!
B: That sounds delicious! I might have to go check it out.

A: Our friend K. Masami tasted-tested it and said the fruit at the bottom gives a sweet and tart flavor, but all the components really come together nicely in a "joyful medley"!
B: Wow, that sounds amazing! I'll definitely try it when I can. And there's also a latte version, right?

A: Yes, it's called Strawberry Mousse and Joyful Medley Tea Latte. You can order it hot or cold. Masami had the hot one with soy milk!
B: That sounds cozy and comforting, especially now that it's getting a bit chilly here in Japan.

A: She thought they were tasty enough to be permanent menu items, but since it's connected to the seasonal Joyful Medley Tea, it won't happen. But we have time to go back for seconds before they disappear!
B: I can't wait to try them both! Let's go together sometime!
