Starbucks launches 2026 Unicorn Frappuccino in the UK for a three‑day run

Starbucks is bringing back its viral Unicorn Frappuccino for a limited three‑day offering in the United Kingdom from 15 – 17 August 2026. The mango‑flavored blended drink will feature the signature colour‑changing effect, a reduced sourness in the syrup, and a new "galaxy glitter" shimmer topping. Prices start at £5.60 for the beverage, and a matching Unicorn Cake Pop is available at £3.30. The items are sold in participating UK stores, via the Starbucks UK app and in select delivery services, while supplies last.

The 2026 release mirrors the 2017 launch that sparked massive social‑media buzz and short‑term demand spikes, but with adjusted flavour ratios and the added glitter topping to differentiate it from the original version.
