As of November 11, 2026, the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese is on the Starbucks holiday menu. The official holiday story, dated November 4, says holiday food started November 5, 2026. No official end date was published. Starbucks did not print a US cash price, so the price row says prices vary by location.

What's in it

The product page calls it a classic grilled cheese elevated with braised short rib, savory caramelized onion jam, and a hint of Dijon, layered with melted Cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella on buttery sourdough.

The same holiday story names a refreshed Turkey and Stuffing Sandwich, with a new baguette baked with cranberries and cranberry sauce. That sandwich is a same-day lunch comparison only. Its calories and price were not copied here.

The product page lists the grilled cheese as a 300 Stars item. That is a Rewards redemption, not a cash price.

Allergens and ingredients

Official allergens are milk and wheat. The shared café equipment disclaimer applies.

Price

Starbucks does not print a cash price. Prices vary by location. A reported $7.95 appears on MenuLaunches, a third-party launch tracker. Tasting Table described nearly $9, about $8 to $10 after tax, and over $9 in some New York cafes. Those reports conflict, and none of them is an official Starbucks price, so $7.95 is not the table price.

The November 2 nutrition calculator file was read before this item and may not include it yet. Red Cup Day is November 17 and requires a holiday beverage, not this sandwich. The holiday menu and the Bearista cup are separate pages. The Starbucks hub lists the rest of the menu.
