Last Saturday, I attended the Starbucks 2013 Christmas Kick-off at Robinsons Manila. Sharing the photos below.
They have photo booth and this really cool photo printing group called the Hashtag Project. The hashtag that day was #Sharejoy and all photos uploaded on Instagram goes directly into their system and you can choose your photos there and have it printed. Really cool huh?
Before you enter the activity area, Starbucks had an area there where they were selling tumblers and mug at a discounted price. Really nice!
Game one is the spin a wheel. Prizes here are candy canes, a Starbucks pen, Starbucks Bag Tag and a beverage coupon.
Next game is you get to choose the coffee roast that you like, and if you get the right color corresponding the coffee roasts, it is yours! :)
We didn't win anything here in this game. Some lucky guests did. :) Lucky them! :)
The third game is kinda nice. You need to get at leaset two or three of the same to get either an umbrella or a tumbler!
Nix got 3 of the same and she won a tumbler! How lucky! #Arrghh I got two of the same, so I got a beverage coupon.
Next is the putting your wishes on the Christmas tree. These wishes will be judged and gets to win some really nice prizes! :)
Next up is the free drink! :) We both got the Gingerbreak Frapp! I just love their new drink! :)
Next it the portion which I really liked because we get to use our creativity. The Christmas Doodle Cup! :) We didn't waste any time and work on our cups right away! There's me working on my cup. the other photo is with the Marketing Manager of Starbucks Mr. Love Fernandez.
Here's a view of my finished cup. In the cup you can see some Christmas elements like, Christmas Balls, a Christmas Tree, raindeer and the #ShareJoy text which was Starbucks' there for the year.
I was focused on my cup for around 20-30 minutes while there was a band playing some really nice Christmas and Pop songs.
Check out the competition!
And our entry. The one on the left is Nix's and the one in the middle and right is mine. I actually made three but I think I forgot to take a photo of it.
People got crazy when samplers of their latest food items were up for grabs for some taste test.
So did the ladies. He he They just love the free sweets!
Went around and took photos of the event. Check out more photos below.

Personally I liked this event better than last year. This one was more organized than last year and I just love the games that they had. Such happy crowd too! So we'd like to thanks Starbucks for the awesome event.
Thanks for the awesome experience Starbucks! Thanks for Sharing Joy, looking forward to next year's kick-off party!
