** Thank you to all those that participated in this giveaway! The winner shall be revealed on Thursday afternoon by Carter! ♥ **
For as long as I could remember I was strictly a Tim Horton‘s girl. A dedicated Canadian coffee drinker. I mean, at $1.65 for an extra large coffee? How could you go wrong?
Just about everywhere I went, I would have a coffee in hand. I can’t start my work day without one.
But now? Competition.
Yes, I have converted.
Starbucks has been giving my beloved Tim Horton’s a run for my money as of late. Particularly the Tazo Chai Tea Latte (Thanks Cheaty. Thanks. A lot.) So what that it costs about quadruple the amount of an extra large Tim Horton’s coffee. I can’t help myself!
A Non-Fat Tazo Chai. Oh, and a lemon poppy seed loaf (yes, I would eat the ENTIRE loaf as a matter of fact. Thankyouverymuch.). Utter bliss I tell you.
Here comes the good part peeps…
Tell me your very favourite coffee treat here in the comments and I will pick one lucky winner who will receive a Starbucks gift card worth $25.
The comments will close on Tuesday December, 16 at 12pm EST.
I told you it was The Ultimate! Now, get sharing!

I am a skinny two extra shot peppermint extra hot latte girl (try getting that one made up right!). I adore the lemon and poppy seed muffins, but they disappear from here at christmas – makes me a very very sad girlie.
Please please please let me win. x

Yum. In the winter season, my Starbucks Drink of Choice is a Skim Milk Peppermint Mocha with no whipped cream.
I must confess – I am a Starbucks-aholic and my fav is the Java Chip Frappacino! Sure a latte or just a regular coffee is great but the ultimate is the Frap.

I’m boring and love a non-fat latte with a splenda OR if I’m feeling DECADENT, I get a raw sugar. BUT – a non coffee treat that I love is a Carmel Apple Spice, which is SO YUMMY.

This is awful. Not only do you spam stumbleupon for yourself, but you’re also trying to pay people to read through your incoherent ramblings.
There is already too much noise on the internet, please refrain from adding more pointless content.
*I removed lovely James’ URL. If he can be a douche, so can I.*
Hey James, no one is making you read anything you don’t want to. Get a life and move along.
Sam, I adore the Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte. No wonky sugar free aftertaste and still figure friendly!
Brenda-SeriouslyMama´s last blog post..Holy smokes! Do… Do you know what this is? This is… A… An Update!
Hey, that James guy sucks, huh?
I’m a big ole’ fan of the caramel anything
I also tried to resist Starbucks, but lost. Ah well, it’s delicious!

Well, *apparently* James has not had his coffee yet today.
You consider it spam, I call it sharing the wealth. Sorry you feel that wanting to share with people spamming.
Enjoy your holiday season! Hopefully no one spills hot coffee on you because that, my friend, would suck.
I love lemon poppyseed loaf too, but my all-time fav is the lemon-raspberry loaf with a tall, no-whip peppermint mocha. Always puts me in a good mood
Erica´s last blog post..Bridal PARTY!
Starbucks definitely is addictive!! While I love their classic Caramel Macchiatos, there’s nothing like a Passion Tea Lemonade on a hot summer day…. Mmm.
OMG I just love their caffe mochas with little whip cream on top and the lemon pound cake they have is absolutely divine!!!
Yay! My favorite is the Caramel Macciato, but I always say it not spell it, so I was hoping it was someone else’s favorite too, so I wouldn’t spell it wrong and look like an idiot.
Instead, I admitted that and look like an idiot. Improvement, no?

My favourite Starbucks drink is the eggnog latte – it has a special place in my heart because it reminded me of Canada/North America when I couldn’t get eggnog in the grocery stores when I lived in England.
Emma´s last blog post..Festive
Okay, I have two. In the summer, the java chip frapp is divine, but I have them leave off the chocolate on top.
In the winter, just a plain decaf latte!

I’d like to invite James to make his way over to my site, where I will happily name, shame and berate his scrawny little ass!
Vic´s last blog post..The Ghosts of Christmas’ Passed
Can’t stand any kind of sweet in my coffee, so those syrup concoctions are out. But! a big ole latte sprinkled with cinnamon & nutmeg? Yum!
also I’ve tried whipping, beating and steaming James, but he always comes out too bitter. Avoid James in your coffee posts whenever possible.

James needs an enema, without lube.
My Starbucks order is picky. It’s an hour from me though so if I win, I want gas money too. Ha ha..kidding.
Quad Iced Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte. I wish they would call it “Karen has a fat ass and requires a punch in the face this morning.” That rolls off the tongue better.
I am a diehard Starbucks fan. Even though I’m pregnant again and they stopped serving decaf fraps. What that that means for me is that I either have to suck it up and drink a light which STILL has caffeine OR get a cream based drink which is still good but not the same. I digress, I got this one year and have been addicted to it since and yes I’ll order it full of caffeine and just hope the baby doesn’t come out wired:), but it’s a Peppermint Mocha Frappacino. AND I love it in the winter time when they put red and green sprinkles on the whip cream:) Yum! I can’t buy it as often as I like b/c my son wants to drink it AND it’s expensive but I love it!
If you like chai, you definitely have to try “a (enter size of cup here) soy no water chai.” It’s my all-time favorite and my go-to drink when the weather is chilly.
Gimme the Caffe Mocha, grande, with whipped cream. It’s spoiled me on coffee forever..I’m so disappointed when I brew a regular pot at home now.
Hortons actually makes me sick. blech.
Venti Soy Latte, but it MUST be sweetened soy. Unsweetened soy milk in latte=BLECH.
Starbucks is my one vice now. Sadly.
thordora´s last blog post..Dear Bipolar
Definetly white chocolate mocha latte. And those petit vanilla scones (sadly gone until spring). I’d cut of my right arm for those little triangles of goodness.
Double Agent Girl´s last blog post..A little more from my last shoot…
James needs to come and pay me a visit so I can sick a rabid pack of moose on his cranky butt.
I’m with you. I love me the Chai tea. Oh dear, I’m frothing at the mouth just thinking of it. Yum.
Redneck Mommy´s last blog post..The Journey…Part Four
Am easy – I’m not much of a coffee drinker usually but I love their hot chocolate and D (husband) would love to have a Starbucks in our living room.
CharmingBitch´s last blog post..No Day Like a Snow Day
My husband and I spend too much at Starbucks. Like, way too much. We are both nonfat no-whip mocha drinkers. I am pregnant so I had to switch to half-caf
and during the holiday season I buy a small container of the peppermint syrup so I can add my own pepperminty goodness while saving money. Seriously, 30c a flavor shot is a whole bundle when you get coffee every day!
I am triple venti skinny vanilla latte girl. Every morning. If I hit The ‘Buck in the afternoon I’m all about the dirty chai latte—a shot or two of espresso in my iced chai. It’s like heaven on earth.
Mo´s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday
I too used to be a “Timmie’s” girl but then I discovered Country Style…(yes I know this post is about Starbucks) but since I can’t afford Starbucks everyday…anyway on the days that I have some extra cash I love their Caramel Macchiato! Nothing beats that one!!
Gabriella´s last blog post..Friends
Okay, I don’t drink coffee…so my favorite thing if I can’t get to Tim Horton’s is to drink Starbucks’ hot chocolate. They always put on lots of whipped cream for me..so maybe it’s better than Tim’s … Shoot me now!
(Cheaty gets me addicted to a lot of things.. LOL)
I’m just posting here again to apologise for my previous comments. I’ve been a miserable old fart all day and I didn’t realise the problem was me until well into the day.
I thought this was a small site started up with little content, saturated with ads and then someone was paying people to up their pay-per-click. I was wrong – and looking a second time I notice there aren’t even any ads so I was completely wrong.
This isn’t spurred by the (somewhat unnecessary!) responses I received here, I apologised by email to Sam before I read those.
Once again, I’m sorry. Have a Merry Christmas y’all.
Then I apologize for wishing you a somewhat unnecessary enema. Ha ha. Merry Christmas right back!
You’ve hit it — my favorite Starbucks combo is a nonfat Chai Latte and a lemon-poppyseed slice too! Mmmm… Though I must confess, the thing that first converted me to Starbucks is no longer on their menu: whatever happened to the drinking chocolate??
Emily´s last blog post..Winter Knitty 2008!
firstly, you cannot compare tim horton’s coffee to starbucks tea. it’s like apples and oranges…
but, for regular coffee…i will ALWAYS drink tim’s. starbucks is way too strong and bitter. but, for specialty drinks, i’m a starbucks girls all the way…especially nonfat lattes – it’s boring,i know, but they are amazing. and i love pumpkin spice lattes. MMMMMMMMMM
ali´s last blog post..hair wars
I’m a Grande skinny vanilla latte, with cinnamon on top.
This is weird because I’m drafting a post about how I want to boycott the familiar brownish burgundy cup, but can’t figure out how to crack my addiction in order to do it.
sherendipity´s last blog post..The season is upon us and it’s not patient.
Peppermint Mocha. Mmmmm.
Michelle´s last blog post..Slow and Steady
I’m with Michelle. Peppermint Mocha. I could go for one right now.
Shan´s last blog post..snowmen, santa and gingerbread
a soy caramel macchiato, light on the caramel – or a soy vanilla latte (just 2 pumps) and a cranberry bliss bar.
If I can’t go to Whole Foods, Stabucks is the only other place I get coffee from. Everywhere else it’s just awful.
Elisa´s last blog post..Ungrateful brats, the lot of you (ehm… us)
my favorite is discontinued, sadly. it’s the chantico. the best chocolate drink ever – apparently, most people weren’t “strong” enough to handle it. so now, i do the skinny vanilla latte or just a straight up hot chocolate. is that too many? okay, i’ll go with the green tea frappucino as my favorite.
thanks for the giveaway!
and how cool is it that James apologized? That’s pretty uncommon in comment world.
kdahlface´s last blog post..Puke
Oh, not even a QUESTION: Tall caramel Frappuccino with extra caramel.
metalia´s last blog post..Baby v. New Toy: The Four Stages
I only like coffee if it doesn’t taste like coffee so my favorite is a caramel macchiato or a caramel frappuccino.
Zandor´s last blog post..I had a dream
I’m a caffine addict. My husband calls it my crack. Someday that joke may come to hurt? I’m double shot, white chocolate, with peppermint! Without it I am not survive the day.
Happy Holidays….
Melissa´s last blog post..Nutcracker Army

I’m also a Tazo Chai Latte girl, all the way. The salted caramel hot chocolate is pretty good, but the chai latte is like sweet nectar!
Peppermint mochas make me a happy girl. Thanks for the giveaway!
