Starbucks has a promotion offering customers a buy one, get one free deal on all holiday-flavored drinks, Thursday through Sunday.
The flavors include Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, Eggnog Latte, and Caramel Brulee Latte. The special holiday flavors offered are only available Thursday through Sunday this week from 2 to 5 p.m. in their One For You, One For Me deal.
“Celebrate the season together with someone – and something – you love at Starbucks,” the coffee company advertises on their website.
Included in the promotion is Starbucks’ newest holiday beverage, the Skinny Peppermint Mocha, which offers customers a lighter version of the Peppermint Mocha flavor.

The drink harbors just 100 calories – making it “a holiday treat you can feel good about,” Starbucks advertises.
The selection of popular holiday flavors in the promotion are topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate chips, and caramel.
