Hot chocolate just tastes better in December! Hot chocolate and the holidays are the perfect pairing, especially on a cold, wintery day. And Starbucks is celebrating the holidays with a sweet gift to customers for the rest of the year. The ubiquitous café is ending the year with Hot Chocolate Cheer Weekends.

Hot Chocolate Cheer Weekends
On weekends in December, Starbucks is serving a FREE Short Signature Hot Chocolate with the purchase of any grande or larger handcrafted drink at participating locations, while supplies last.
The sweet offer is open to all customers — not just Starbucks Rewards members.
Mark your calendar for the following weekends:
December 9 and 10, 2023
December 16 and 17, 2023
December 23 and 24, 2023
December 30 and 31, 2023
Here’s the fine print: “Offer available on in-store and drive-thru orders and can be redeemed on qualifying Starbucks app orders in the café with same-day proof of purchase. Excludes Starbucks Delivery. Limit one free Short or kid’s size Signature Hot Chocolate with purchase of a grande or larger handcrafted drink. Excludes hot and iced brewed coffee and tea and ready-to-drink beverages. Customizations cost extra. Cannot be combined with other offers or discounts.”
And, don’t forget, Starbucks is also offering half-price drinks on Thursdays in December, too.
