Free Starbucks In Marin County: How To Score Your Cup

MILL VALLEY, CA — Have a holiday drink and let Starbucks pick up the tab. That's the idea behind the coffee company's latest promotion which will feature more than 1,000 "pop-up parties" across the nation at select stores through the end of the year.

Up on the list for a party on Friday is the Starbucks store in Mill Valley located in the Strawberry Village Shopping Center at 800 Strawberry Village, Suite 205, according to the company.

Here's how it works: Each day for five days, more than 200 locations will be chosen to offer the promotion. You can view a list on the pop-up party site daily to view the next day's participating stores. And you have to visit during the one-hour window of the "party," from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. local time, to get your complimentary beverage.

"Customers who visit a participating store will receive a free tall handcrafted espresso beverage of their choice, hot or iced, including Peppermint Mochas, Iced Toasted White Chocolate Mochas, lattes, macchiatos and more (one per customer)," Starbucks representatives said in a news release.

The promotion runs from Friday, Dec. 27 through Tuesday, Dec. 31.
