It is customary for Starbucks Philippines to unveil new food items, beverages, and of course, the Starbucks Planner every Christmas season. But last year was extra special with the Starbucks Partners Christmas Cup Design Contest which was part of the Christmas Kick-Off Party held at Bonifacio High Street.

Moreover, NomNom Club was offered the opportunity to be one of the three judges in that competition.

Here is a photo blog from the Starbucks Partners Christmas Cup Design Contest 2012:

Furthermore, the contest had an open category for interested participants from the public called “Turn it Red” where they should turn a white Starbucks cup into red by drawing on it using red pens (no other materials are allowed on the cup). Three winners were chosen and announced at the Starbucks Philippines Facebook Page. The winners got Starbucks Planners, Starbucks mousepads, Starbucks keychains, Starbucks Stainless Steel cups, Starbucks Gift Certificates and more!

Albeit ‘very’ belatedly, congratulations to the winners!

The seasonal Starbucks Red Cup has been symbolic for the iconic franchised coffee brand every Christmas season and creative activities such as these reinforces its tradition.

I hope they bring back the Starbucks Partners Christmas Cup Design Contest in 2014 and open it to customer-participants as well. 🙂
