Chocolate never goes out of season.
Starbucks customers can cash in on yet another deal to keep them cozy — free hot chocolate.
The coffee company announced on Instagram the start of “Hot Chocolate Cheer Weekends,” where customers can get a free hot chocolate every weekend in December.
Cocoa lovers can get their freebie with a qualifying drink purchase — any handcrafted drink size grande or larger. The offer comes in the coffee chain’s “short” size (8oz) and is limited to one per order.
Customers can get their freebie with orders placed in-store or in the drive-through every Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 31.
The offer can also be redeemed in stores with same-day proof of purchase of an eligible Starbucks app order.
Starbucks has been gifting its customers with many sweet offers this holiday season.
In a longer-term twist on the coffee chain’s “Yay Day” deals, “Festive Thurs-Yays” offers half-off drinks for the holidays starting Thursday, Dec. 7 and continuing every Thursday throughout December.
The coupon for 50% off any drink will be available in the Starbucks app on Dec. 7, Dec. 14, Dec. 21 and Dec. 28. Each customer can get one half-off beverage on these Thursdays from noon until 6 pm.
And people who love cold coffee year-round will be thrilled to know that the coffee chain just announced the release of four holiday cold foams, inspired by the flavors of the iconic holiday drinks.
The flavors include peppermint chocolate cream cold foam, sugar cookie cream cold foam, chestnut praline cream cold foam and caramel brulée cream cold foam.
“The cold foams combine festive flavors with Starbucks signature vanilla sweet cream to top off any drink with a merry twist,” a news release said.
While supplies last, holiday cold foam can be added to any cold drink at an additional charge for a limited time during the holiday season.
Starbucks’ holiday-inspired menu came to stores on Nov. 2 with the return of fan-favorite drinks and food, plus some new festive beverages.
New drinks include the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai and the Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte at stores that serve the oil-infused beverage.
Also new to the holiday line-up is the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, a combination of warm gingerbread notes, a blend of chai spices and creamy oat milk. It’s also available as a hot drink.
