2012 Starbucks Christmas "Rekindle The Joy"

It's been so long I haven't be able to update this blog. I'm a bit busy with my personal life and somehow forgot to update on the most hectic months of the year lol.... Christmas promotion finally came to Malaysia. With all anticipation from all over the globe, especially the collectors group, all of us keep updating on the merchandise for X'mas. Starbucks Malaysia launch it Christmas promo on 6th November 2012.

New cards in town!!!!

New Drinks !!!

New Drinks Carrier!!!

New Christmas Blend!!!

This year, as usual Starbucks Malaysia have launch it's X'mas promo with the new planners. Yes, PLANNERS. This year we are so lucky to have planners with 2 colors and the same design. I think it's a smart move for Starbucks Malaysia since it's been a hit of town as they said. In order to get the planner, we must drink 15 handcrafted drinks(which means any drinks in the store but not include the bottle beverages) or for the non-coffee/tea drinker you can buy them at RM138 per plannner. This promotion only available for Starbucks card holder only, which means you need to buy the Starbucks card(at any outlet), then register to Starbucks Malaysia website here>> Starbucks Malaysia(Card Register). Just make sure every time you drink, keep the receipt for future used when u want to update the drink-tracker  in the website. It's been a few mishap where people unable to get the updated drinks, so with the receipt in hand you can call the number at the back of the card for further assistance. I do this all the time, whenever I see my tracker not updated yet, I will call up the centre and they will help me.   

After few weeks on the Christmas promotion going on, Starbucks Malaysia surprise the fan with another discount. Who doesn't like discount right? Hahhahaahaha....

This is few list of merchandise that have been launch in Asia. Most of the country in the region have the same merchandise.

Have a Wonderful Christmas Everyone!!!!!!
