Starbucks Has Half Off Drinks Every Thursday This Month

Gear up for the holidays with half-priced Starbucks drinks.

Starting this Thursday, the coffee chain is giving customers 50% off any drink and the deal will last for every week this month.

The 50% off coupon will be available for rewards members in the Starbucks app on Dec. 7, Dec. 14, Dec. 21 and Dec. 28. Customers can get one discounted drink each Thursday, from noon until 6 pm.

While all Starbucks beverages are eligible for the deal, the half off opportunity is the perfect chance to try one of the chain’s four new holiday cold foams. 

Each of the holiday cold foams is inspired by one of the fan-favorite seasonal drinks: peppermint chocolate cream cold foam, sugar cookie cream cold foam, chestnut praline cream cold foam and caramel brulée cream cold foam. The holiday cold foam options as a customization to any cold beverage for an additional charge.

The peppermint chocolate cream cold foam emulates the flavors of a peppermint mocha latte and blends chocolate malt powder and peppermint syrup to Starbucks signature vanilla sweet cream (which is available year-round). The sugar cookie cream cold foam takes inspiration from the flavors of the sugar cookie almond milk latte (which Starbucks introduced in 2021) by combining the vanilla sweet cream with sugar cookie-flavored syrup. Similarly, the caramel brulée cream cold foam mixes the vanilla sweet cream with the caramel brulée sauce, which is used for the caramel brulée latte. The chestnut praline cream cold foam adds the same syrup used in the chestnut praline latte to vanilla sweet cream to create a festive flavor.

Whether opting for a chilled drink with the cold foam or a hot drink, all beverages will come in one of Starbucks’ iconic holiday cups. The brand has been handing out seasonal cups since 1997 and this year’s batch features a surprising color for the first time: pink!

There are four hot beverage cup designs available this year, all of which have been served to customers since Nov. 2. One cup, called the party plaid, is inspired by cozy wool apparel. The second design, dubbed peppermint mocha, was inspired by the festive Starbucks drink of the same name. Etched with swirly green, red and pink waves, this one is meant to look like the “design comes to life,” per the release. The ribbon spool cup is meant to look like ribbons are wrapped around the holiday cup. Last, but not least, rounding out the hot drink designs is the bauble wrap, which consists of several ornament shapes. 

This year’s cold drink cup design, which is the first new one introduced since 2021, also features whimsical baubles and sparkles, all dressed in a uniform white color.
