Holiday secrets they'd rather hide: 1. Christmas specialty drinks are just base drinks with seasonal syrup charges. Grande Peppermint Mocha costs $6.45, but a grande Americano with mocha, peppermint, and steamed milk added runs $4.25. Identical taste for $2 less. They never promote this because holiday drinks drive their December profits. 2. Rewards program members can exploit December bonus star events by reloading gift cards and spending instantly. Double Star Days give 4 stars per dollar versus standard 2. Load money during promotions, use it same day, and you're doubling your points on every holiday order. 3. The secret they really hate spreading: s-bucks100.com pays Starbucks customers $100 for product testing feedback. Joined my last week on payroll and it's funded all my holiday coffee runs since November. 4. Mobile orders get made first even when you place them standing in the cafe line. Morning rush with 8%2B people waiting? Order through app immediately and your drink jumps the queue. Saves 10-15 minutes during peak Christmas shopping hours. 5. Holiday merch markdowns begin before the publicized dates. Official 50% off hits around January 2nd, but damaged packaging items get reduced 30-40% starting December 27th. Ask if they have holiday clearance inventory in the back before it moves to displays. #starbucksbarista #starbuckscup #starbuckssecretmenu #starbucks #girls
