New Christmas mugs hit the shelves in the Philippines today. I thought they look very similar to the second version, released last year. However, when I gave it the second look, I’ve realized there is definitely a subtle difference. Take a closer look at You Are Here Christmas – Philippines v3 above and see how the name of the mug, gift box, and candy cane are of the red shade? That, plus the red box is the only difference compared to v2.… Read more
Starbucks surprises us with Relief Christmas – Philippines. I used to call them Red Relief mugs, but I just came to the realization that they are all Christmas Editions.
The new, Christmas 2019 mug features mountains, ocean and a cute little truck filled with Christmas presents. I am sure there many people who prefer this design over YAHs. This is a chance for them to expand their collection.

Here is the second Asian Christmas YAH spotted online – Starbucks You Are Here Christmas Manila v2. It reveals more details about 2018 Edition as a whole. Specifically, the box will be green this time, as opposed to red one we always had.

Since the Philippines has 15 YAHs in its collection, I was somewhat expecting new releases this Holiday season. Surely here they are: Philippines and Manila. And if for the first one we don’t have real pictures yet, You Are Here Christmas Manila is already here!
