Target and Starbucks offer exclusive Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Starbucks and Target are celebrating the holiday season with a festive new drink that’s as joyful as the shopping runs it’s made for.
Starting Nov. 18, Starbucks located in Target stores will exclusively offer the Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate, which is a creme Frappuccino with a blend of mocha sauce, milk and ice, poured over a layer of peppermint-flavored whipped cream and red and green sprinkles. The beverage is then finished with another swirl of peppermint-flavored whipped cream and a shake of red and green sprinkles. Target Circle 360 members can enjoy early access to the exclusive drink on Nov. 17, before it becomes available to all guests the next day.
“We wanted to create something festive and fun just for Target guests,” says Alicia Binion, of Starbucks beverage development team. “The Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate is a delicious beverage that brings together rich chocolate and cool peppermint flavors as well as red and green sprinkles for a pop of color and crunch. It’s a sweet way to pause during the holiday rush and enjoy a little seasonal cheer.”
“For so many people, a Target run starts with grabbing their favorite drink from Starbucks before browsing our aisles, so together we’re building on that magic with an exclusive, only-at-Target drink to add a little extra cheer to holiday shopping,” said Lisa Roath, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer of food, essentials and beauty, Target. “Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate is everything you’d expect when you combine Target and Starbucks. It’s fun, it’s creative, and it’s delicious – an absolute can’t-miss as you get ready to celebrate the holidays.”
The beverage will be available throughout the holiday season at all participating Target locations nationwide.
