Starbucks is raising a holiday cup to celebrate its customers during the final days of 2016 and to welcome the new year from December 23 to January 2nd, according to a press release.
The coffee giant has launched www.starbucks.com/cheer, which shows the location of 100 participating stores daily that are offering one free tall handcrafted espresso beverage per customer, from Mochas to Flat Whites to Chestnut Praline Lattes. The pop parties will be from 1:00pm-2:00pm local time and locations will change daily.
Also, customers visiting their local participating Starbucks® store will receive a Cheer Card beginning December 23, while supplies last. Cheer Cards will feature special offers that range from 50 percent off a Spiced Sweet Cream Cold Brew, Holiday Spice Flat White beverage or lunch item (sandwiches, salads and Bistro Boxes) to a free holiday cookie or Cranberry Bliss® Bar with the purchase of any size handcrafted beverage.
During this time, the company has also introduced a trio of handcrafted beverages to ring in the new year. The beverages will feature silky swirls of dark and white chocolatey topping.
Tuxedo Mocha: Hot espresso is poured over mocha sauce and white chocolate mocha sauce, which is then melted into a wonderfully rich concoction. Steamed milk is added to the mix to balance the richness into a silky swirl of dark and white chocolatey goodness. The beverage is topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle on half of the whipped cream – for a black and white tuxedo effect – and is finished with a sprinkle of dark chocolate curls. Customers can enjoy it hot or iced.
Tuxedo Hot Chocolate: Mocha sauce and white chocolate mocha sauce are combined with steamed milk to create dark and white chocolatey swirls. It’s topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle, and is finished with a sprinkle of dark chocolate curls.
Tuxedo Mocha Frappuccino Blended Beverage: A combination of mocha sauce, white chocolate mocha sauce, Frappuccino® roast coffee, milk and ice blended together and topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle and finished with a sprinkle of dark chocolate curls.
