Aside from the tasty food, unwrapping gifts from family and friends is one of the exciting feelings felt during the holiday season. Christmas is not about wrapping and giving presents to loved ones and accepting gifts from loved ones.

One of the major thing that should not be forgotten during the celebration of Christmas is being thankful for the gift of family. It is time to bond with loved ones and provide each other with a recap of how the year has been for them.

Christmas had just passed and everyone had enjoyed spending the season with family and loved ones.

Now, the end of the year is fast approaching. The next festive event that everyone will be looking forward to is welcoming the New Year.

Many business establishments will be offering various promotional campaigns as people are counting the days until the coming of the New Year.

Two hundred Starbucks stores are some of those establishments which will be offering a promotional scheme to its customers until December 31, 2019.

From December 27 to December 31 of this year, Starbucks will be giving away free Starbucks espresso drinks.

The promo of Starbucks was announced on Thursday. It had also included in their announcement that it will be hosting more than a thousand parties in two hundred of its selected stores until December 31.

The free Starbucks drinks that it will be serving are tall espresso drinks. The drinks will be served for parties or events held from one in the afternoon until two.

The location of the promo will be changed and revealed every day until the last day of the year.

The options of drinks are hot and cold. These drinks include their holiday beverages such as Iced Toasted White Chocolate Mochas, Peppermint Mochas, Macchiatos, and Lattes. One customer is only allowed to take a maximum of one drink.

Before the start of the parties, the business will be having its final Happy Hour campaign for 2019 with a promo of buy one take one drink.

Throughout December, Starbucks had been offering its Happy Hour promo. From two in the afternoon until seven in the evening, every customer is offered a buy one get one promo (applicable on all their grande or larger-sized handcrafted drinks). The promo includes their holiday beverages.

This promo is only available to those who will be placing their orders on the Starbucks application. Those who are from the United States of America and Canada are the only ones allowed to avail of the promo. The promotional campaign will immediately be included for the members of Starbucks Rewards.

Starbucks had revived its Happy Hour Promo last October. Before, it was employed in different specials. Currently, the promo will be implemented on selected Thursdays.

Starbucks is also currently hosting a contest called "Starbucks for Life" which will be until January 6, 2019. The prizes of the contest will be totaling a minimum of $2.90 million.

The members of the Starbucks-Seattle Loyalty Campaign will be allowed to enter the contest and be one of the five winners of free Starbucks daily drinks for thirty years.
