Starbucks Holiday Cups
Love 'em? Hate 'em? Couldn't care less about 'em?
Though I'm anti-Starbucks on principle, I can't deny my love for the delicious specialty drinks (though I've even managed to find a way around that). I always love when the holiday cups make their appearance, signifying the kick off of the holiday season. It seems like this year is earlier than usual, no? I pass a giant Starbucks on my way to work in the morning and have seen many a red cup gracing the hands of bustling New Yorkers. My favorite beverage? It's a tie between the Caramel Apple Cider (oh so sweet and warming) and the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate (a mouth-watering treat that disappeared after only one holiday season. I'm crossing my fingers they will bring it back this year!). So the question of the day is: Are you a Starbucks or other specialty coffee shop fan? If so, what's your poison?
Psst...want to see more DIY specialty beverages? Add your picks in the comments and I'll devise some twists on coffee shop specials!

I am pretty sure I heard the salted caramel is coming back! I am not sure if I ACTUALLY heard that, or it was a dream! but I hope its truee!!
That would be...dare I say it...Legendary!
I love the holiday cups :) It feels like the holidays! And my favorite is caramel apple cider - that stuff tastes like apple pie in drink form! so good :)
Though, I'm ALL for supporting local businesses, I am a true SBux fan. How can you NOT love the red, holiday cups!?
2 different Starbucks this weekend both had the salted caramel hot chocolate!
That just perked up my gloomy Monday! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to check it out.
