Time goes by so quickly and before we know it, Christmas is already coming around the corner. And on this special season of the year, our fave coffee store - Starbucks has something special in store for us this Christmas season. Cozy up with good holiday cheer with the newest Starbucks Holiday treats. I hope you'll read on so you'll know what I'm talking about.
October 28, 2015 - I, together with other CBS members, have been invited by Starbucks Marketing Head to witness the official launching of their holiday featured products and beverages. I am thrilled and grateful to be able to attend the event which has been filled with good company, a good laugh and oh, *whispers* good foods. Everyone went home with our stomachs full and our faces filled with genuine smiles.

Starbucks Holiday Treats - Tops on the list is the newest Starbucks Moleskine 2016 Planner which is now available in all Starbucks branches nationwide. I'm happy I was able to get one this year. This planner will definitely be a total life saver. I'm using an app planner before, but now I can no longer trust my phone since the battery drains real fast, and switching to an 'old-school-planner' might be a good change for this upcoming year. Got the green one for myself. See below on how to get one for yourself!
Foods and Beverages
This one is my favorite above all, of course. Did I tell you I'm an ultimate cheesecake lover? Hmm, calling out other cheesecake lovers out there! (giggle)◠‿◠ 'White Chocolate Truffle cheesecake' is one of their featured food this holiday season which is definitely my fave. Visit their page to view more of their featured foods.
For the Starbucks latest featured drinks, they are officially launching RED CUPS featuring 3 beverages - Christmas Panettone Latte, Toffee Nut Latte, and Peppermint Mocha. Yay, red cups are here!
For their coffee blends, they are featuring Starbucks® Christmas Blend, Starbucks® Christmas Blonde Roast and Starbucks® Christmas Espresso Roast. To view more about their featured coffee blends, visit their page here.
Featured Starbucks Card
Everyone was in awe when this card was presented and even requested to take a closer look at it. Starbucks is presenting this Holiday mini with Swarovski card designed with 29 Swarovski crystals. Swarovski® is a leading producer of precision-cut crystal. Available starting November 2 for an initial consumable load amount of ₱2,500.
Other featured Starbucks cards are:
I know someone who loves to collect Starbucks cards and gets hyped whenever Starbucks would release another set of card designs. Can't blame him either since the cards really are beautiful and the initial load (₱300) to avail one card is consumable. I currently have 3 cards with me and hopefully, I can collect other cards in the future.
And as promised, here are the guidelines for you to be able to avail their 2016 Moleskine Planner...
