Costa is offering free plant-based milks for vegans over the festive period

Costa Coffee has announced it will be offering all Lactofree and plant-based alternatives for no extra charge across participating stores during the Christmas period.

From Friday 1 November 2019 until Wednesday 1 January 2020, customers visiting a participating Costa Coffee store for a refreshment will be able to customise their drink with plant-based alternatives such as Alpro Almond, Alpro Coconut or Alpro Soya, or Arla Lactofree milk, without any extra charge.

The chain normally adds a 45p surcharge for non-dairy milk.

All plant-based alternatives used in Costa Coffee stores are specifically made for baristas, allowing them to craft the perfect foam, froth and microbubbles to perfect Costa Coffee’s signature handcrafted drinks.

“Launching our ‘Wish upon a Costa’ Christmas campaign, there’s no better way to deliver the perfect gift – the option to further customise their handcrafted favourite drink with a Lactofree or plant-based alternative for free.”
