Starbucks Christmas Launch 2015

Christmas is in the air and Starbucks Philippines brings you gifts of joy!

I was invited to the Starbucks Christmas Launch at SM City Davao and I was so excited to be part of it because I wanted to know more about their latest offering for their customers this holiday season.

Starting November 2, enjoy these delectable holiday espresso beverages from Starbucks - Toffee Nut Latte, Peppermint Mocha, and Panettone Latte.

The all time favorites Toffee Nut Latte and Peppermint Mocha will bring back the memories of candy canes and sweet treats you receive during Christmas.

Toffee Nut Latte  Short - P155 / Tall - P165 / Grande - P180 / Venti - P190

Peppermint Mocha  Short - P155 / Tall - P165 / Grande - P180 / Venti - P190

The new Christmas Panetonne Latte is my newest favorite because it has the flavors of bread and butter paired with steamed milk and roasted espresso. Then topped with whipped cream and dried fruits for a textural and delicious twist on a classic holiday tradition.

Let's also celebrate the holiday season with all of these food items that is perfect with your favorite drink.

Chicken Fajita Roll - A tortilla filled with mouth-watering Mexican flavored chicken breast fillet. If you are a fan of anything with pimiento, you will surely love this.

Gingerbread Cookie - A penguin gingerbread cookie decorated with sugar icing. I can eat this every morning for breakfast but it's too cute to eat! LOL!

Chocolate Crepe Cake - Seventeen layers of crepe filled with Belgian chocolate cream. Not too sweet but it really taste good.

Dark Belgian Chocolate Cake - Layers of Belgian chocolate cake, mousse, meringue, and frosted dark Belgian chocolate with gold powder dusting. Drooling to death! :p

Rocky Road Cookie Stuffed with Oreo - A chewy double chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, marshmallow, and stuffed with Oreo. MY FAVORITE!!!

Roasted Chicken and Turkey Wrap - A tortilla filled with chicken breast fillet, roasted vegetables, and turkey drizzled with cranberry garlic dresing.

Penne Al Formaggio - A childhood favorite, al dente penne pasta with creamy and sharp cheese sauce made with cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella. Most of the Davao Bloggers love this.

You can also order the new Starbucks packaged food - Starbucks Biscotti Collection. This features three almond biscotti and three chocolate chunk biscotti. This is a delicious complement to your favorite coffee with its subtle sweetness and satisfying crunch.

We also tried the Starbucks Christmas Blend. It is combined with Latin and American beans with mellow Indonesian coffees and rare aged Sumatra. Artfully roasted and expertly blended to be both spicy and sweet. The taste is very rare, strong, yet spicy and sweet just like Christmas! :)

All you need to do is to get a Starbucks Christmas Traditions Promo Card at the counter for free and collect 18 stickers. The baristas will put one sticker on the promo card every time you purchase a Starbucks handcrafted beverage. It must be 9 stickers for their Holiday Featured Beverages and 9 Core Beverages of your choice.

One customer can hold up to 2 promo cards combined, provided that the 9 featured and 9 core beverages have been purchased. WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE STICKERS like I did when I started collecting for the first time. It was a bad experience. LOL!

More info about the terms and conditions of this promo is at the back of the promo cards for you to read.

I already have one by the way, thanks to Starbucks SM City Davao!

Let's enjoy the holiday season with family and friends at Starbucks! Thanks for dropping by! Have a great day!
