Starbucks to melt the snowflakes

The warm atmosphere, great smells, and delicious drinks makes Starbucks a winter necessity. As soon as the temperature drops, Starbucks cups are seen everywhere on campus. Everyone has their favorite drink that makes the countdown to winter break a little more livable.

“My favorite drink is the Peppermint Mocha. I know it’s pretty basic, but I anticipate this drink all year. The chocolate and peppermint really make me feel like it’s Christmas.”   

– Taylor Walton (9)

“The Creme Brulee latte is my favorite. It only comes in December and it’s my favorite time of the year. I like to savor wintertime because, in Texas, it doesn’t last long.”

– Ace Kuhn (9)

“My favorite drink is the Caramel Brulee latte, my dad used to only be home on the weekends so we would go get Starbucks and just appreciate the little time we had together. This drink always reminds me of those times.”

– Zoya Naqvi (10)

“I love the Tiramisu latte, the first time I had this drink it was a cold, icy day. It began to rain and sleet and I ended up being stuck at Starbucks for hours when I was only supposed to be on a one hour date. I drank three of them when I was there, it helped to pass the time.”

– Hayden DeVoe (10)

“My favorite Starbucks drink is plain, hot coffee during the winter. I’m not really fancy when it comes to drinks and I just love the feeling of drinking it on a cold day on the way to class.”

– Lily Lozier (11)

“I personally prefer Starbucks hot chocolate. I am not a huge fan of coffee, let alone Starbucks coffee, but their hot chocolate is great at night when I’m working on theatre or film projects.”

– Richard Rodenberg (11)

“My favorite winter Starbucks drink is a Pumpkin Spice Latte because it tastes like how wrapping yourself up in a blanket at the end of the day feels… and the name is cute!”

– Isabel Russey (12)

“I really like the Egg-Nog frappuccino. I love cold drinks, even in the wintertime, and the Egg-nog flavor of it is amazing.”
