And the Starbucks Philippines series is not yet over this Christmas season! After sharing with you the Starbucks 2012 Planners, and the Starbucks Holiday Foods, it’s the turn of the Starbucks Christmas beverages to be highlighted.

Good news to all peppermint lovers, watch out for the return of Peppermint Mocha! Enjoy the warm combination of espresso, steamed milk, bittersweet chocolate and peppermint flavor in this seasonal favorite. It is topped with classic whipped cream and red sugar sprinkles.
Christmas Coffee Blend
This Christmas, as you gather your friends and family offer them the warmest of greetings by welcoming them with a delicious cup of Starbucks coffee. Choose from the spicy, full-bodied flavor of the Christmas Blend, the rich, caramelly flavor of Starbucks Christmas Blend Espresso Roast or the instant Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Christmas Blend.
Starbucks Christmas Blend
Starbucks Christmas Blend
This full-bodied favourite combines the liveliness of superb Latin American coffees with the mellow smoothness of Asia-Pacific coffees, but is truly noteworthy for the spicy notes from aged Sumatra beans. This coffee is best paired with White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie – big and chunky, chewy and crunchy. Perfect for this season!
(Retail Price P500)
Christmas Blend - Espresso Roast
Starbucks Christmas Blend Espresso Roast
Made from Sumatra and aged Sumatra coffees, combined with beans from the Bella Vista F.W. Estate in Tres Rios, Costa Rica, and finally roasted in Starbucks signature Espresso Roast for an intense flavor and spicy finish.

It’s Christmas! And NomNom Club starts it with Starbucks Christmas Cheers Party!
Starbucks Cheers Party
The Starbucks Christmas-themed beverages and Starbucks Christmas-themed food items are back! Last November 3, 2010, the 6750 branch in Makati held the first Starbucks Cheers Party this year for their loyal customers and patrons from 6-8pm.
Starbucks Peppermint Mocha
Starbucks Christmas Beverages
We enjoyed sample servings of Toffee Nut Latte, Praline Mocha, and Peppermint Mocha.
If you miss the Christmassy feeling, try the Peppermint Mocha. The minty aftertaste, rich chocolate, smooth espresso and velvety steamed milk would reassure you of the season’s atmosphere. It is topped with whipped cream and red sugar sprinkles.
Starbucks Toffee Nut Latte
The Toffee Nut Latte on the other hand has the buttery flavor of sweet toffee combined with toasted nuts.
Also blended with smooth espresso and steamed milk, it is topped with whipped cream and toffee-flavored sprinkles.
Praline Mocha is similarly prepared but accented by hazelnut syrup and topped with mocha sauce drizzle.
My favorites though are Toffee Nut Latte and Praline Mocha; in that order.
Starbucks Christmas Red Cups
Starbucks Coupons
Similar to last year, guests were given Cheer Party cards with coupons. It has a raffle stub, planner promo card, photo booth pic, 10%off on Starbucks merchandise / Starbucks VIA ReadyBrew, and a complimentary tall beverage.
Acapella Manila
Although I did not win in the raffle draws, I got to taste a wide array of the Starbucks Christmas-themed food items while the Acapella Manila choir serenaded us with popular Christmas songs.
Here are photos of Starbucks guests and friends in the recent Starbucks Christmas Cheers Party:

A month after the holidays, Starbucks‘ Dark Cherry Mocha still stayed on the menu board way after the other two holiday featured beverages Toffee Nut Latte and Peppermint Mocha was taken off the shelf – which is a good thing! 🙂
Give in to your chocolate craving with its combination of espresso, steamed milk, and bittersweet chocolate with dark cherry flavor; topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder.
And although the Starbucks Planner fever is over, it tastes like Christmas all over. 🙂
