Everybody knows that Starbucks is famous for their quality coffee. The iconic green and white Mermaid logo is easily recognizable whenever you see it and Starbucks has long been cemented as one of the most popular coffee companies of all time. It's hard to go anywhere where you don't drive by at least a couple different Starbucks locations or see someone with a Starbucks cup in their hand.

This brings us to today where, this holiday season, Starbucks has a sweet deal for their loyal customers.

Starbucks Free Hot Chocolate this Holiday Season

No the words in bold font above do not lie, this holiday season, Starbucks will be offering their customers free hot chocolate. The super sweet deal will be available to customers every weekend the rest of the month of December. How you get the deal is also incredibly simple.

Customers need only purchase one grande sized "handcrafted beverage" from the plethora of options on Starbucks menu. Buying that one grande drink, gets you the free 8oz cup of free hot chocolate. Orders can be placed either in-store or at the drive through and you are limited to one free hot chocolate per order.

The offer of a free hot chocolate does not apply if you order a prepackaged, ready-to-drink beverage or a brewed hot or iced coffee. Starbucks defines a handcrafted beverage as anything that is made by one of their baristas.
