You Can Win Free Starbucks For A Year With This Holiday Lineup

While Starbucks has gone ahead and made clear all that will be included on their in-store holiday menu this year, we will be the first to admit that not every day do we have the opportunity to go to an in-store Starbucks location to get our morning cuppa. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have the opportunity to still indulge in those same flavors if we don’t have the time or resources available to swing by one of their locations. Luckily, Starbucks is on our side and is doing everything possible to make sure we can have access to those iconic flavors from home, too.

Starbucks recently announced everything that will be included in their at-home holiday product lineup, and we thought it pertinent to update you on everything available. This year, there is a brand-new, limited-edition item added to the collection, as well as an exclusive opportunity to win free Starbucks for a year. Let’s get into the details so that you can dive head first into holiday cheer.

The Holiday Newbie

The newest addition to the collection is actually very exciting because it produces a brand new way to be able to indulge in one of our favorite holiday coffee flavors — peppermint mocha. Not only is Starbucks’ Peppermint Mocha always a guaranteed hit, but now it’s available to purchase in Nespresso Vertuo pods as well. Since Vertuo machines have specific pod shapes that aren’t compatible with other Nespresso machines or K-Cups, Vertuo users have been out of luck up until this point with the Peppermint Mocha flavor. But not anymore. The chocolate and peppermint coffee flavor is now at your fingertips. 

Additionally, this makes the Peppermint Mocha flavor available in three forms of ready-to-brew coffee building off of the standard Peppermint Mocha coffee grounds and K-Cups that we’ve seen previously. If you don’t have the time or will to brew it fresh, they have the Iced Espresso Peppermint Mocha available as a ready-to-drink beverage in the refrigerated sections your local grocery store. The Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drinks that come in ready-to-drink, single-serve bottles have also returned in the Peppermint Mocha flavor this year. The Peppermint Mocha Dairy Creamer returns to shelves this year, too.

Other Returning Options

For as much as we like the flavor of Peppermint Mocha, we know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee, for that matter). Never fret, though, Starbucks has you covered as well. The Starbucks Holiday Blend, that has notes of maple and herbs, returns this year in the form of K-Cups, Nespresso Vertuo pods, and the standard bags of ground coffee. But, if you’re looking for something that’s still flavored but isn’t peppermint mocha, they brought back their Hazelnut Cocoa flavored coffee for at-home brewing as well. This is the only flavor of coffee that you can brew at home in the collection that doesn’t include the Nespresso Vertuo pods. But, it’s still available as K-Cups and as ground coffee.

Starbucks’ Cold Brew Concentrate returns in this holiday lineup with only water and ice needed to prepare it. Not only is it easy, but it has Irish cream, vanilla, and chocolate flavors to give it some extra festive flair. And, speaking of festive flair, the Chesnut Praline Latte-Inspired Dairy Creamer, and Sugar Cookie Latte Non-Dairy Creamer are back again. If you prefer to stick to your standard brew in the morning, but want to add some holiday flavor at your discretion, then these creamers are a great option.

Everybody Loves Free Coffee

Even if you’re not as into the at-home Starbucks offerings, it still might be worth it to pick up a thing or two from the collection. The Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino, ready-to-drink Iced Espresso Peppermint Mocha, and all three of the seasonal creamers will provide you with a chance to win exclusive Starbucks prizes. By scanning a QR code under the bottle cap, Starbucks Rewards Members can win anything from bonus stars to free coffee for an entire year. What a way to start the holiday season.
