Events

The Blend is the Magic

Cold breeze in the -ber months? That means that we already know that the most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner.

Last October at SM Mall of Asia, Music Hall, special guests were given a chance to be one of the first to take a sneak peak of Starbucks specials for this Christmas and for 2019.

As guests entered the event area, they were given “Santa’s To-Do List” so they could participate in fun games and booths throughout the venue.

Guests were invited to sing Christmas carols, play games, and given a chance to write their very own Christmas promise on a giant red Starbucks cup, capture the holiday memory with their Snow Globe 360 photo booth, and write Christmas wishes to be put it in a mailbox. Everyone collected and completed the stamps to enjoy a prizes when finished.

The entire event was truly filled with magical Christmas nostalgia!

Now if you are a Starbucks enthusiastic, (like me) reading the phrase “collect and complete” will definitely excite and invigorate you.

It was during this event that Starbucks Philippines publicly released their 2019 Planner and travel organizers.

Yes…it’s #StickerSeason again!

The 2019 Starbucks Philippines Planner comes in 2 colors; Espresso and Milk.

Each cover features a canvas finish with metallic gold and copper stamping, comes with beverage Vouchers, Canvas Pouch, and a limited edition Starbucks Card.

Each page has me imagining my bucket list for 2019.

Every month is planned in different colors, and the beautiful illustrations will inspire you to a crafty and productive new year.

Also released were the new 2019 Starbucks Travel Organizers.

These new addition to Starbucks Christmas Tradition is available in 2 colors; Dark Teal and Sienna, both with a leather-finish.

The travel organizer features a slot for a phone, cards, and cables.

It also has a mini journal filled with blank, grid and bullet pages for you to write or draw. 

This too, comes with a Special Edition card.

Both of the planners and travel organizers have a corresponding Starbucks card.

If you are a collector of cards, then you have a lot to check off your list.

There are more holiday cards to choose from too:

(Top to Bottom – Holiday Tree Card; Maligayang Pasko Card; Snowman Card)

The Maligayang Pasko card is a special card because there are only three translations for the holiday greeting. The other two is Merry Christmas and Feliz Navidad.

Same drill as always: Purchase the initial activation amount worth of 300 PHP to acquire each card.

To receive your Limited Edition 2019 Starbucks Planner or Travel Organizer, purchase ANY Tall, Grande, or Venti Starbucks Handcrafted Beverage of your choice (EXCEPT short size and bottled beverages) for 1 sticker.

GUYS-this is a big change in the way we collect our stickers. You can get your stickers by buying ANY drink, for credit, just as long as it’s the right size.

Stickers may be collected starting November 2, 2018 to January 7, 2019. You can also use the Starbucks Philippines mobile app for your E-promo card, specially if you often forget your stamp card. Remember: No stamp card, no sticker!

Check out the NEW Snowy Cranberry White Mocha:

Snowy Cranberry White Mocha — Tall ₱175; Grande ₱190; Venti ₱205

This signature espresso drink is combined with steamed milk and a toasty white chocolate sauce. It’s topped with whipped cream and festive cranberry sugar sprinkles. It may look like a regular Starbucks frappe but when you get to sip those sweet cranberry sprinkles, it tastes just like Christmas!

The usual suspects in classic holiday form are back, including Toffee Nut Crunch Latte (Tall ₱175; Grande ₱190; Venti ₱205) and Peppermint Mocha (Tall ₱175; Grande ₱190; Venti ₱205).

They’re also bringing back the Starbucks® Christmas Blend (₱495), Starbucks® Christmas Blend Espresso (₱495) for you to spread the holiday spirit to your home.

Let’s get into munchables, shall we? (Yes, there’s more.)

There’s a lot of festive eats Starbucks will release this coming November 2. One of the sweets I get to try is the – Chocolate Oat Cheesecake. This is probably one of my faves in the Starbucks holiday menu. I mean, who doesn’t love chocolate?!

It has the perfect creamy texture of dark chocolate and milk chocolate that kinda melts in your mouth. It’s not too much sweet because it has a layer of cheesecake in it. And it also has a chocolate oat crust that will make you feel you’re not on your cheat day.

Starbucks Philippines also get us to try meaty servings such as the Cranberry Pistachio Turkey Flatbread loaded with chicken, turkey sausage, spinach and cheese, and the Baked Burrito filled with savory Mexican flavor rice.

  • Chocolate Crepe Cake — ₱160/slice; ₱1,440/whole
  • Chicken Fajita Roll — ₱125
  • Cereal Milk Pudding — ₱65

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
