Shoppers gearing up for Black Friday 2025 can add a caffeine kick to their deal-hunting thanks to Starbucks’ one-day promotions, extended opening hours and a brand-new seasonal sip. Gift card bonus returns for one day only On November 28 Starbucks revives its fan-favorite eGift deal: purchase $25 or more in Starbucks eGifts (one $25 card or five $5 cards) and receive a $5 bonus eGift automatically. The offer is limited to 200,000 redemptions and is available through the Starbucks app, website or iMessage from 12:00 a.m. ET until supplies run out. When is Starbucks open on Black Friday? Most company-owned cafés will open earlier than usual, but hours vary by location. Flagship roasteries such as Chicago’s Michigan Avenue store plan to pour lattes from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., while many suburban drive-thrus will start as early as 5 a.m. For precise times, customers should check the Starbucks Store Locator or Google Maps before heading out. Exclusive Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate at Target If your Black Friday route includes Target, look out for the new Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate served only at Starbucks cafés inside the retailer. The limited-edition drink layers mocha sauce and milk over peppermint-flavored whipped cream, topped with red-and-green sprinkles—an iced twist on a holiday classic that offers a sweet pause between cart-filling marathons. Seasonal menu highlights Beyond the Target exclusive, the nationwide holiday lineup is in full swing, featuring: • Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai and Caramel Brûlée Latte • Classic Peppermint Mocha and Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte • Christmas Blend whole-bean coffees—perfect for gifting or brewing at home. How to maximize savings and speed 1. Order ahead in the Starbucks app to skip in-store lines. 2. Combine the $5 bonus eGift with Rewards Stars for a free drink faster. 3. Bring a clean reusable cup to save 10¢ per beverage and earn 25 bonus Stars. Why this matters for Black Friday shoppers With retail doorbusters starting before dawn, a nearby Starbucks can be the first stop of the day. Early-bird hours, contactless pickup and a $5 digital kickback make the coffee run both convenient and wallet-friendly, while the festive menu adds a touch of holiday spirit to long checkout queues. Bottom line Whether you need an espresso before storming the mall, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate while browsing Target aisles or a last-minute stocking stuffer via eGift, Starbucks’ Black Friday 2025 playbook delivers perks that pair perfectly with bargain hunting.
