December is officially here, and the holiday season just got a little brighter at Starbucks with ThursYays and more.

• Festive ThursYays: Starting this Thursday, December 7, and every Thursday this month, Starbucks Rewards members have one more reason to be merry with 50% off any drink from 12-6 pm local time. Starbucks Rewards members will find the 50% off coupon in the Starbucks app, and they can apply it when ordering ahead or by asking their barista to apply it in-store. It’s the perfect opportunity to try this year’s new holiday beverage, the Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, or a classic like the Peppermint Mocha.

• Holiday shopping made simple: On your next visit to Starbucks, pick up a gift for the coffee lover in your life – bundle festive drinkware with a holiday-inspired Starbucks Card or packaged coffee like Christmas Blend for a gift that’s sure to delight.

• For loved ones near and far: You can also find eGift Cards at starbucks.com/gift, including an eGift designed by multimedia artist and director of The Color Purple and Blitz Bazawule, showcasing the film’s themes of sisterhood and friendship. Starbucks is partnering on the upcoming holiday release of the film to bring customers uplifting moments this holiday season, and Starbucks has also made a $25,000 donation to Africa Film Society, a nonprofit founded by Bazawule to preserve and promote Africa’s rich cinematic legacy while cultivating new filmmakers and nurturing an audience for their work.​ And on Dec. 21 grab a cup of coffee and watch a conversation with the film’s creative team about filmmaking, art and the power of connecting through stories on our Starbucks Stories page.
