Santa is not the only one wearing red this season... RED CUPS ARE HERE!

And when the red cups arrive at your local Starbucks, that's when the Christmas season really begins, right?

So what holiday drinks are here for us this season? We have the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée, Chestnut Praline, Gingerbread, Holiday Spice Flat White, as well as our Christmas Roast/ Blend brewed coffees... just to name a few.

Not only are the holiday beverages back and better than ever, we cannot forget about our merchandise!

Our holiday cups, mugs and tumblers are looking extra festive this time of year.

They make GREAT gifts for a loved one or just yourself because you know you deserve it!

Now, that we have covered basic holiday Starbucks excitement... let's get sentimental.

The holiday season with my partners is incredible. ALL THE SEASONS WITH MY PARTNERS ARE INCREDIBLE. I have some very hard working coworkers that genuinely care about the customer, our connection with the customer, the integrity of our company and the integrity of our individual store. The dedication is felt year round, but there is something about this time of year that makes our dedication more noticeable to everyone.

The Starbucks partners you see in stores on Christmas day are all volunteers! The partners who would like to work the holiday sign up, and the spots that aren't filled other stores share employees with other stores so everyone is staffed well.

It really is the season of giving!

This was just some insight to the holidays at Starbucks. Just one shot of espresso deep!

I hope to share more about Starbucks soon, but until then...

I hope you get to see all your favorite baristas this holiday season!
