Wait! Something cool has started in Augusta – and if you are a coffee lover you are going to love this!

Augusta & Co. recently introduced to the community the Augusta Coffee Trail, which began on December 4. With the Augusta Coffee Trail, you have the opportunity to go on a journey to experience the many coffee shops around Augusta.

Not only will you have the opportunity to taste espressos, lattes, and more, but you also get to experience Augusta in a different way, through taste.

For the Augusta Coffee Trail, you will get access to a mobile passport that unlocks your journey to 11 participating Augusta coffee shops. You will also have an opportunity to win some rewards and prizes.

Being a part of this journey is free! The passport is delivered right to you via text or email, so there's no need for any apps or any trips to get a passport picture taken.

Step 1: Get your pass

Again this is a mobile passport sent directly to you through text or email. It has a list of the participating coffee shops. Some of those shops will be offering deals and discounts to redeem on your visit.

Step 2: Receive passport

Once you get it, it is ready to use right away!

Step 3: Redeem

Once you have selected your coffee shop of choice to visit, you will present your passport to the staff member to redeem any rewards or prizes when purchasing their coffee. Be sure your location services are on to check in on your passport!

With the arrival of winter and the holidays, there is one thing you can count on. Some of your favorite restaurants are bringing back all-time favorites and introducing some new foods for the season.

A lot of places will be rolling out special items for the holidays and you will be able to get as much peppermint this time of the year as you do pumpkin in the early fall.  It's not just restaurants that are adding holiday-themed and new items. Even on a trip to a grocery store or a Wal-Mart run, you will see more and more Christmas-themed and new flavors of foods to try.  Gingerbread houses, the different types of marshmallows for baking not to mention the return on the wall nuts and pecans.

With all the baking and new foods coming out just in time for winter and the holidays, here are the most used flavors and seasonings around winter and the holidays

Baking is a big part of the holidays as well.  So when you go to the grocery store, take your time going down the baking aisle.  Everyone else is wanting to bake the same things you are.   So here are some items that restaurants are featuring for the winter and holiday season.  Not all locations will have all of these items, so please check with your local store for availability.

Starbucks win again with the most new items this winter.  The Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai, Caramel Brulée Latte, Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini, Iced Sugar Cookie Almond milk Latte and Chestnut Praline Latte

DQ is coming strong with the holiday Blizzard game.  The Candy Cane Chill and The Frosted Sugar Cookie.  I think I feel a stop on the way home today!

You can always count on Wendy's to come through.  This time around it's a Peppermint Frosty.  This has to be 100% Fire!

Just when you think everyone's favorite can't top themselves, they do!  For a limited time get the Peppermint Chip Milkshake along with the Peppermint Iced Coffee and Peppermint Chip Frosted Coffee!  Score!

Jimmy John's new peppermint chocolate cookie.  Now this just sounds like heaven on earth to be honest!

Dunkin' now this is how you do it.  How much of a hero will you be showing up to work with these?

This comes and goes so much these days we have to ask, is it still special.  This is available at participating McDonald's for a limited time only!

Taco Bell is bringing back grilled cheese nacho fries.  Now this is new to me, I didn't know they ever had these but, how about a try this winter?
