How to Get a Free Drink at Starbucks This Weekend

Whether or not you're ready for the holidays, it's already mid-November and -- gasp! -- less than two weeks until Thanksgiving. And to help you get into the holiday spirit, or maybe just ease the trauma and pain, Starbucks will give you a free holiday beverage when you purchase one this weekend. Well, that is unless you've excommunicated the coffee giant for allegedly hating Christmas and by extension, America, with its new holiday red cups.

The buy one get one free special started Thursday and runs from 2pm to 5pm each day through Sunday. However, members of the My Starbucks Rewards program will get the deal for an extra day on Monday, November 16th, from 2pm until stores close, according to a spokesman. This means you can spend the weekend double-fisting red cups full of drinks like the Chestnut Praline Latte, Peppermint Mocha & Skinny Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Gingerbread Latte, Eggnog Latte, Teavana Gingerbread Tea Latte, and the Teavana Joy Brewed Tea. Or, you know, you can be a good friend and share one.

So, who's questioning Starbucks' holiday spirit now?
