Holiday Starbucks Mode
Relaxed, cheerful holiday ambiance to help everyone stay focused and productive.
What is this?
This festive, vibe-based template sets the tone for calm, cozy, and focused work time. Students know exactly what’s expected of them in “Holiday Starbucks Mode” — get comfy, lean into the warm holiday atmosphere, and protect the peace. It’s perfect for independent work blocks when you want a seasonal shift in energy without losing productivity. The timer and checklist keep everything clear and on track.
How do I use it?
1. Set a clear intention: today is a Holiday Starbucks Mode day. 2. Customize the checklist with your festive work-time assignments (up to three). 3. Start the timer to gently cue the beginning of the cozy work sprint. 4. Project the visual on your screen or board. Press play on the holiday video to complete the warm, seasonal mood. 5. Refer to the expectations for reminders — this mode is quiet, cozy, cheerful, and focused.
Other tips?
• Let students choose their coziest work spot (alt seating, floor cushions, or “fireside” areas). • Pair with holiday lofi or gentle acoustic winter music for a full festive vibe. • Use the timer to build sustained work stamina during this calm, seasonal sprint. • Reward the mode by offering bonus Holiday Starbucks Mode time or special flexible seating next round. • Reinforce that “festive” doesn’t mean “off-task.” Keep the cheerful vibe focused and reset as needed.
