Starting this week, Canadians can create virtual holiday cards, featuring adorable animated scenes that can be personalized with your face and another person\u2019s on Snapchat. The cards \u2013 which are only available in English \u2013 create a virtual way for customers to still \u201chang out\u201d as ornaments on a tree or be \u201cpresent\u201d with their friend or family member wrapped in a bow, all while remaining safely apart.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cCustomers look to Starbucks for comfort and joy over the holidays, and this year is no different. While we may have to adapt our celebrations this year, Starbucks is making it easy for loved ones to share a laugh and stay connected,\u201d says Peter Furnish, vice-president, Marketing, Starbucks Canada. \u201cThis special holiday card is meant to add a spot of brightness to our customers\u2019 lives and bring loved ones together, while physically distant.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This Canadian-exclusive experience was created in association with Starbucks Canada, Snapchat and creative agency, Public Office. The Starbucks virtual greeting card on Snapchat is just another way the company is working to help customers enjoy the holidays safely this year.
