Starbucks customers and baristas are taking inspiration from Disney’s "Hocus Pocus" with drink recipes that embody the Halloween film franchise and its witchy cast of characters.
These beverage creations are being shared on social media platforms with hashtags and mentions of a "Starbucks secret menu" or "Starbucks menu hack," and they’ve attracted millions of views from movie and coffee fans.
For example, food and lifestyle blog Totally The Bomb created a Hocus Pocus Latte last year, which has been tested and re-shared by TikTok users.

Other social media users have shared original drink recipes inspired by the witches of "Hocus Pocus" – the Sanderson Sisters.

The trio reprised their roles in the 2022 sequel, "Hocus Pocus 2," which may have contributed to the resurgence of Hocus Pocus drink recipes at Starbucks along with seasonal Halloween demand.
Mariam, a 21-year-old content creator on TikTok who worked at a Target-based Starbucks location in Michigan until recently, went viral on the video-sharing app for the three drinks she made after the three witches.
The Winifred Drink she made is a simple iced matcha latte with extra dark caramel drizzle poured on the side of the cup and on top of the green blend.
