Starbucks is holding more than 1,000 "pop-up parties," serving free drinks across the US.

On Thursday, the coffee giant announced that starting on Friday, December 27, it will begin hosting pop-up parties at more than 200 stores every day from 1 to 2 p.m. local time. The parties will continue every day until 2pm local time on Tuesday, December 31, or New Year's Eve.

Starbucks said that customers who visit participating stores during the pop-up parties will receive a free tall handcrafted espresso drink, including options such as lattes, Peppermint Mochas, and Iced Toasted White Chocolate Mochas.

There is a limit of one free drink - hot or iced - per customer. Drinks must be ordered in person, so mobile and delivery orders are not included as part of the free beverage deal.

The more than 200 stores hosting pop-up parties will change every day over the five final days of 2019. Customers can check which stores near them are hosting pop-up parties and giving away free drinks by visiting StarbucksPopUp.com.
