Japan’s fifth Be a Santa campaign adds its first donation cookie topping

Starbucks Japan runs its fifth Be a Santa donation campaign from November 2 to December 25. Reward Star donations and part of cookie-topping sales will provide holiday treats to children’s community cafeterias through the NPO Musubie. The first Be a Santa cookie topping comes randomly in gift, tree or Santa-hat designs. Priced at ¥69 takeaway or ¥70 dine-in, it is available in limited quantities at Japanese stores from November 2–19, excluding some locations, for Frappuccinos and iced drinks topped with whipped cream or mousse foam. Online Star donations open at 10:00 on November 6, starting at 25 Stars, and are planned through December 25 but may close early if the limit is reached. Holiday activities at children’s cafeterias will also expand.
