Like a Santa's Hat, But It Holds Coffee

With the frosty mornings this week, there's no doubt fall has arrived, and with it thoughts of the impending winter holidays... and chilly commutes. The folks at Starbucks will be easing the transition to both tomorrow morning in celebration of the return of their red cup; greeters will regale commuters at 30th Street with oodles of goodies from 7-10AM. There will be samples of appropriate winter drinks, including Christmas Blend, Peppermint Mocha, and Hot Chocolate. Five dollar gift cards will be passed around. And they'll be giving out 1,000 evergreen tree seedlings in case you haven't made a decision about buying a tree this year yet. All this plus carolers too. We're thinking we might get off the El a few stops early tomorrow morning.

If you can't make it to 30th, fear not. All Starbucks will be premiering their winter drinks and food, on offer through January 3rd. And we know you won't have trouble finding a Starbucks in this city.
