THIS time, Christmas will be a little different as it might not be as festive and what everyone expects it to be. However, it will always be merry through sharing kindness and giving cheer.
Keith Cole, Starbucks Philippines head of marketing and category, is thrilled to share what they have in store for everyone this holiday season.
Starbucks is offering new Christmas beverages, delicious food, new cards to add to the collection and an assortment of merchandise for any gifting occasion.

The annual Christmas tradition sparks joy with 2021 planners and organizers.
This holiday season, Starbucks brings to life the stories behind its brand through the 2021 planners and organizers, featuring four Philippine-exclusive designs that serve as a fresh canvas for everyone to chronicle dreams, hopes and whims.
The Starbucks Siren (Green) Planner comes in a hardbound recycled PU (synthetic) leather cover, with meticulous details of the mythical siren debossed on its front cover.
The 2021 Starbucks Teavana Youthberry Planner arrives in a fresh yellow hue, featuring intrinsic details of the siren tail in gold, embossed on its recycled PU leather cover.
The Starbucks Frappuccino Organizer in coral pink pops in a posh and youthful color with a sleek multifunctional carrier laced by a premium rose gold logo zipper pull. It consists of several built-in pockets.
The 2021 Starbucks Reserve Black Organizer dawns on a classic black color that exudes a minimalistic yet elevated feel for customers.
To complement all the unique features of 2021 planners and organizers, each choice provides a bookmark, a set of fun and colorful stickers, along with tear-off vouchers.
Get hold of the most-coveted items by collecting a total of 18 stickers — from November 3 to January 4, 2021 — using either the paper promo card or the e-promo card in Starbucks Philippines mobile app, with one sticker awarded for any purchase of a tall, grande or venti handcrafted beverage in-stores.
Starbucks Rewards members can place their beverage orders using the app or mobile device and claim them safely in-stores starting November 17.
“We aim to continue to uplift and nurture the human spirit one person, one cup, one neighborhood at a time,” Cole said, as Starbucks stores turn red, Christmas songs play in the background and the smell of coffee fills the air.
