Get your 2019 Starbucks Planner and still Lose Weight

Every year, those on the plump side are having problems in tipping the scale as holiday food galore increases plus other factors such as collecting the sought-after Starbucks planner stickers (I Know that a lot can relate to this).

All of us who follow this yearly tradition are accustomed to the drill of 9/9 meaning, you have to purchase 9 Starbucks core beverages and 9 Starbucks Christmas beverages. Getting the first set is easy but the latter can post a problem to those who are veering away from sugar as we all know that Starbucks Christmas beverages are mostly on the sweet side. Fret not, as our Fairy Godmother might have heard our wishes and made things easier for us.

New Starbucks Planner Sticker Rule

The rules have changed as we can now complete all 18 required stickers with any Starbucks Handcrafted beverages we prefer (except the bottled ones). This is a great news for weight-watchers like me especially those who are into Ketogenic Diet, as we can order those sugar-free variants and still get to complete our planner passport. Yipee!

Another news is that, we can now use our Starbucks Mobile App to collect the stickers (No more rummaging thru your bag for the physical passport. Although the conservative in me still prefers the traditional way as nothing beats seeing and feeling a filled-up passport on your hands.

Planner vs Travel Organizer

Variants for this year are more exciting as you can now choose to redeem the 2019 Starbucks Philippine Planner that comes in 2 colors (Espresso and Milk) and comes with a pouch.

or the new 2019 Starbucks Travel Organizer which to comes in 2 colors (Dark Teal and Sienna) which comes in a zipper leather and can hold your mobile phones and cards.

All variants still carries the beverage and merchandise coupons that we are accustomed with. Each variants also comes with respective Limited Edition Starbucks card design (unlike last year’s uniform Vinta Card).

Starbucks Christmas Nostalgia
​
Members of the media got the first dibs as Starbucks hosted a grand Christmas launch a week before the magic begins with a magical blend of nostalgic traditions, merry activities, and festive food at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. Two giant nutcrackers stood at the lighted entrance of the enchanting Christmas world and as guests stepped into the village, they were welcomed by a massive Christmas tree made with Red Cups and adorable Starbucks Bearista Bears, as well as a Starbucks Express train that circled around the Christmas village. 

Everyone had the time of their life as guests participated in the fun games at the venue such as the ‘Starbucks Christmas Traditions’ game where they matched life-size Starbucks planner stickers and the ‘Snowy Cranberry’ game where they tossed toppings on the giant Snowy Cranberry Drinks. And it wouldn’t be Christmas without the traditional caroling which was held at the ‘Christ-Must Carol’ game station. Guests even got a chance to see Santa himself inside his cozy home and shared their Christmas wishes through his Mailbox.

Well, as they say…you know the drill. Start collecting on November 2, 2018 and don’t be left behind.
