Author Notes: While in NYC during the holiday season, my friends and I stepped into Star Bucks for a coffee. I ordered their holiday special. It was delicious and I decided to create my own version. I think I came very close! It is a favorite with my family and guests. Often, I can't prepare breakfast because people want seconds about the time I have everyone served! - cltnancy
