A Week of Christmas – Day 6: Starbucks
Congratulations to Ashley M, the winner of the Jesus Calling giveaway, who wrote, “I love reading out of My Upmost for His Highest. However, I just discovered that my YouVersion Bible on my iPad has some really interesting Bible reading plans, so I might have to give them a try.” I love YouVersion, I have it for my iPhone!
Hey gals, to be honest, attendance for these giveaways really dropped off yesterday. I get it, I do, you could share it with your friends, but that would lower your chances of winning, right? Well, share anyway…even if you don’t win, consider being nice to your friends storing up riches in Heaven. How’s that for motivation?
So, here’s a recap, if you’re just now joining us: we are giving away one prize every day for the first full week of December! We have given away, so far, 5 books, a Pampered Chef baker, and a Military-themed purse, and now, for our sixth prize, we are giving away a $25 Starbucks gift card! I don’t really think this needs an explanation or anything, do you?
If you’d like to win, all you have to do is leave a comment answering the question: “What’s your favorite holiday drink?” My personal favorite is the Chai Nog, it’s not on the menu, but they’ll make you one if you ask, it’s just a chai latte made with egg nog. It’s spicy and creamy and phenomenal (and there’s no calories because it’s Christmas). If you don’t like Starbucks, and you’re just going to use this card to stuff someone’s stocking, just tell us that instead.
Please, just one entry per person. We have to approve each entry, so don’t worry if yours doesn’t show up right away, we will update throughout the day.
No entries after 11 p.m. eastern time. Winners for all giveaways will be drawn at random.
Tomorrow we will announce the winner, as well as begin the drawing for the GRAND PRIZE!


My favorite holiday drink is the caramel brulee latte. It’s so creamy and caramelly…a perfectly sweet warm-up for the cold winter days we have up here in Alaska.
My favorite Holiday drink from Starbucks has to be the caramel brulee latte! I’m still trying to get my friends behind the counter to spill the awesome combination on it so I can order it when not in season!
I’m allergic to cinnamon (sadly, most holiday drinks have cinnamon in them
)& I also am not a huge fan of change – so I always get the same drink, a hot cafe mocha with no whipped cream. I absolutely love it. I’ve heard the peppermint mocha is good though, so I might try it if I win this gift card.
Thank you for giving us a chance to win such neat prizes!! Merry Christmas season & happy new year!
My favorite holiday drink is eggnog because it remins me of my husband. He is currently deployed but he adores eggnog. In fact he was so bummed he wasn’t going to get any this year but I made him some and found some to send to him! My overall favorite from starbucks would hae to be a chai frap
Toffee nut!
Mmmm… Where to begin. I love White Mocha, ooh and the caramel hot chocolate they are doing right now. And peppermint mocha. pretty much all of their frappachnos. OK, if I have to pick just one, I would go with a peppermint white mocha right about now
Peppermint Mocha
My favorite holiday drink is the pumpkin spice latte
Peppermint mocha is my favorite holiday drink from Starbucks. My all time favorite drink is the Caramel Spice Apple Cider….yum!’
My favorite holiday drink is pumkin spice coffee from Starbukcs lol! For home I have a pumkin spice creamer that I use, love it!
LOL, a PLAIN good ‘ole cup of strong coffee is ALWAYS my favorite holiday drink. The holiday difference is I will have SEVERAL during the day instead of just one in the morning. When I am feeling especially naughty, hot chocolate is my treat!
My favorite Christmas drink at Starbucks is the Caramel Brulee Latte! But what makes it better is to share conversation with an Army Wife friend and a Coffee. During this deployment I have joined a group of 4 for Starbucks, lunch, dessert, and Starbucks again. But it is not the coffee and food that joins us together. We are Army Strong Wives persevering through.
My favorite Christmas drink is the Skinny Peppermint Mocha (tall)! Its warm, minty, chocolatey goodness is only 100 calories!
I’m trying to enjoy the sweet season without adding the usual holiday weight. Getting this indulgence makes me feel like I’m winning!
Chai Latte from Starbucks!
Starbucks Skinny Peppermint Mocha…
Thanks for doing the give-aways. What a blessing!
My favorite holiday drink is mulled cider or russian tea…awww who am I kidding my true fave is the one being handed to me first thing in the morning…no thinking just drinking.
My favorite is the peppermint mocha! Mmm Love it!
Eggnog latte – not split with milk! Starbucks is the “second office” for my husband and I as we disciple/counsel/mentor military men and women.
Love the Caramel Brulee coffee at Starbucks this time of year. A bunch of us spouses here meet up and have coffee on a regular basis. It’s called the Silliness Society Coffee meeting. We all sit out on the lawn in a circle with our chairs and kids. We support one another and highly enjoy the company of one another. Awesome times, Love my spouses here, especially while my husband is gone.
My favorite holiday drink is a toss up between gingerbread latte and pepermint mocha. Both are delicious but very different and not all moods coordinate with each
I love coffee and after “dead week” and a week of college finals I will really need a tall egg nog latte!
My favorite daily holiday drink is Peppermint Green Tea from Celestial Tea (called Candy Cane Lane). Of course the company of my four and seven year old drinking from our Christmas mugs makes it joyful.
I LOVE every Starbucks drink. However, if I won this one, I would love to give it to a new friend who has made me feel so welcome in my new home.
I love the holiday peppermint mocha this time of year!
peppermint mocha for sure! it’s like Andes Mints! IN A CUP!!!
I love the good old fashion Hot Chocolate….I like to put a lot of little mini marshmallows and if I have a candy cane then I’ll use that as my stir stick and eat of course after drinking all my hot chocolate…..

My favorite holiday drink from Starbucks is their peppermint mocha latte-skinny! Their peppermint mocha frappichino is a close second. :0)
i just started drinking Starbucks about 2 weeks ago. Now I’m addicted to their Caramel Brulée Latte. I MUST have a venti size everyday!!! $5.10 a day, I think I need this, lol!
I try to steer clear of caffeine while breast-feeding my little one, but I still love the hot cocoa and spiced apple cider….mmmm…
My favorite holiday drink is Peppermint Latte or Peppermint Hot Cocoa. I only drink during the holidays to reflecting on the beautiful year of blessings throughout the year, and to begin a new year!!! Yummy!!
I love their white chocolate peppermint mocha AND their iced caramel latte
I like the Christmas blend brewed coffee.
Seeing as we are in Korea and not all of the wonderful holiday flavors are available I decided that the peppermint mocha needed some white chocolate flavoring so that would be my holiday favorite. A peppermint white chocolate mocha.
