It makes an excellent addition to your Festivus celebration, as well.

Why is is that all the really good things are only available to us at Christmastime? Lit up houses, 24-hour marathons of brilliant movies, free days off for non-essential federal workers courtesy of our generous Commander-in-Chief? (I totally got Christmas Eve off and I love it!)

Well now there's one more item to add to the list: Starbuck's Limited Edition Dark Chocolate Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino. I purchased a four-pack last night, frankly, because I liked the red on the packaging. What a brilliant decision on my part! This stuff is a Christmas delight. Rich chocolate, refreshing peppermint, and more caffeine than you could shake a stick at with your jittery hands. Go now! Get some!

And to all those people who think Starbucks is trying to take over the world, I say let them. As long as they provide me with delicious, caffeinated treats, I will happily be their robot slave.

Oh Ali....I am sorry that I didn't tell you long ago. As a very similiar drink (and amazingly wonderful...like Christmas all year long....)Starbucks has a warm peppermint mocha that they serve year round. (In fact approximately 4-5 times per week I make the trek across the hospital and order a "nonfat, peppermint mocha, with no whip cream" (except on Friday...I get whipped cream on Fridays) It's $3.71 of wonderfullness!!! (Yes, Chris, whene you read this you will calculate that I spend $15 to $20 per week on coffee...and that isn't in the budget...but to that I stick out my tongue and say make that 'motorboat/tooting sound'

Their caramel apple spice is also wonderful. It's like a hot spiced apple cider. Although I love whipped cream, I actually recommend this drink without it.
