It's sure to sell out in no time ♡ What's in store for Starbucks' long-awaited limited-edition Christmas menu and merchandise this year?

Every year Starbucks entertains us with a variety of limited edition goods, drinks and more.

That time of year has arrived again! The 2020 holiday season kicked off on Sunday, November 1, 2020 with the theme of "a Special Holiday with Starbucks Classics."

Starbucks Holiday Season 2020

Speaking of the holiday season at Starbucks, there are special holiday cups, pairings of "Starbucks (R) Christmas Blend" with Cranberry Bliss Bars, and holiday limited edition beverages.

I'm sure there are many people who look forward to it every year.

Until now, this holiday series has mainly been available in-store, but this year, as many people are spending their time in different ways than usual, they can be enjoyed not only in the store but also as takeaway.

In the two months leading up to Christmas, special digital projects and merchandise will be available one after another! It's like opening a holiday calendar, allowing you to enjoy the days leading up to Christmas.

From Sunday, November 1st to Friday, December 25th, a number of videos will be released to help you open your holiday calendar.

The most anticipated project is one in which singer-songwriter Hirai Dai will create a song based on Starbucks Holiday stories collected from customers and partners (employees).

The completed song will be broadcast live. We're looking forward to it!
