Starbucks will be providing free size-ups to all customers who purchase its Iced Caffe Americano from Thursday to Monday.

This promotion was planned to fall in line with Korea's hardcore iced Americano trend during the winter season, Starbucks Korea announced Thursday.

Customers who buy the "Ice Challenge Caffe Americano" during the five-day period will be able to size-up their drink for free.

Iced drinks are still popular during the winter season, according to Starbucks Korea, adding that the Iced Caffe Americano has made up for 54 percent of all Americano sales so far this month.
