Get in the Holiday Spirit with Candy Cane Hot Cocoa from 7-Eleven

by Jennifer SwartvagherDecember 3, 2020

You had us at candy cane! This holiday season head over to 7-Eleven for a warm cup of Candy Cane Hot Cocoa. The rich cocoa is blended with cool peppermint flavor and can be topped with chocolate sauce and International Delight Peppermint Mocha flavored creamer.

Candy Cane Cocoa isn’t the only gift 7-Eleven is giving customers this winter. For a limited time, participating stores are offering any size hot beverages for just 79 cents every day from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. through the 7Rewards loyalty program found in the 7-Eleven app. For a contactless checkout experience, customers can pay using 7-Eleven Wallet. To use, load funds into a 7Rewards account with cash at the register, or in-app with a credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a prepaid 7-Eleven gift card, and simply scan the 7Rewards barcode upon checkout.

“People look forward to the holidays and the seasonal treats that go with them,” said 7-Eleven proprietary beverages senior product director Jacob Barnes. “Hot cocoa and candy canes, each on their own, are traditional holiday favorites that evoke special memories and feelings. Bringing these two classic flavors together in our Candy Cane flavored Cocoa allows people to enjoy a special treat—a cup of ‘comfort and joy’—during this very non-traditional holiday season.”

Stores are also stocking up on lots of other limited-edition, 7-Select private label holiday treats that can only be found at 7-Eleven stores including:

Seasonal Sandwich Cookies with pomegranate crème, candy cane crème and pecan pie crème flavored varieties.
Holiday-inspired Mini Donuts in chocolate covered cherry and gingerbread flavors.
Your choice of two festive yogurt covered pretzel flavors in sweet sugar plum sprinkle and the classic red, white and green.
Limited edition trail mixes with flavors like butter rum toffee and sugar cookie.
Fiery cinnamon bear candy for spice-lovers and holiday flurry and snowman gummies for everyone else.

30 Signs That You’re a San Francisco Parent

by Erin FeherSeptember 7, 2020

Your Oakland friends are constantly trying to convert you, and your midwestern parents think you’re a little bit crazy, but you wouldn’t trade your urban family life for the world—or at least for the suburbs. From only-in-SF tan lines to starter coffees for kids, we bring you 30 sure-fire signs that you’re a San Francisco parent.

1. Your child’s preschool application was filled out before her birth certificate.

2. You have tried (and succeeded) to put a car seat in the back of a Getaround Fiat.

3. Your kids drink $3 steamed milks from Four Barrel (or wherever your family coffee loyalty lies).

4. Your 6-month-old has already learned how to turn on the Apple Watch because someone “left” a prototype at JAMaROO.

5. “The gym” is walking up an 8.5-incline street and two flights of stairs while carrying a bag from Bi-Rite and a toddler.

6. You’ve started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for Pre-K application fees.

7. You unpack your family’s winter clothes in June. Or never pack them up at all.

8. Yelp returns four pages of doggy daycare when you type in “SITTER.”

9. Sidewalk strolls start with a gentle reminder about the book Everyone Poops.

10. Your kids are only ever tan on the tops of their hands.

11. Your 2-year-old knows when pluots are in season.

12. You know every restaurant with gluten-free, vegan and paleo kids menu items.

13. You’ve spent half a day trying to figure out how to schedule your Good Eggs and Amazon Fresh deliveries together.

14. You’ve managed to fit an entire nursery inside a closet—along with your Freda Salvador collection.

15. You pick your mom friends based on the number of hills that separate you.

16. Instead of a flu shot, your toddler has simply licked one too many Muni seats before you could stop them.

17. Your kid’s dream pet is a pigeon.

18. Your baby has her own hashtag on Instagram.

photo: Kelle Hampton

19. Every birthday party you attend is also a fully produced photoshoot for the host mom’s blog, and guests are asked to dress in accordance with the party’s theme color palette.

20. Your social media feed is all $7 toast and playdates at the Beach Chalet.

21. You know never to take strollers on Bart because of the elevators . . . those horrifying, horrifying elevators.

22. One of the most monumental benefits to having a child in SF is not having to wait for a table at Delfina . . . because you are eating at 4:15.

23. You have brand loyalty to Nordstrom expressly because of their “Mothering Lounge.”

24. You met your best mom friend in Jane Austin’s Prenatal Yoga class.

25. Your weekends inevitably involve something called SoccerTots.

26. Your son hasn’t yet had his first haircut. He is 9.

27. You’ve sent your kid to a playdate in an Über.

28. You buy organic sunscreen sticks at a baby boutique right next door to the bar where you used to have multiple weeknight martinis. Someone you hooked up with in a past life still works there.

29. Instead of Jehovah’s Witnesses, it’s your Oakland friends who are constantly trying to convert you.

30. For weekend brunch and good schools, the response is the same: You’re on the list.

The Best ’90s Movies to Watch with Your Kids

By Common Sense Media

Tinybeans Voices Contributor

August 26, 2020

Only ’90s kids will remember these goofy but heartfelt family movies from their childhoods—but that doesn’t have to be the case. This list for ages 10 & under is perfect for nostalgic parents looking to show their kids what life was like before iPhones or YouTube but who also are glad the days of pagers and VHS are behind them. Rewind the clock, not the tape, with classics like Toy Story, The Sandlot, and the original Good Burger. They’re so good, you’ll almost miss your Beanie Babies and bleached tips. To see the full list of ’90s kids’ movies, check it out at Common Sense Media, and for more nostalgic picks, check out Best ’80s Movies and Classic Cartoons Parents Love to Share with Kids.

1. Kiki's Delivery Service

From celebrated animator Hayao Miyazaki, this gentle story tracks Kiki, a witch in a new city, as she makes friends, starts a delivery service (on her broom, of course), and experiences a crisis of confidence related to puberty. An ideal family film, Kiki's Delivery Service will be especially meaningful to any child (or adult) who has grappled with the responsibilities of independence and peer group problems. Recommended for ages 5 and older Directed by Hayao Miyazaki (Buena Vista, 1998).

2. Toy Story

This beloved animated feature about a boy’s toys, who come alive when he leaves the room, will charm kids and adults alike. When Woody accidentally pushes his new rival, Buzz Lightyear, out the window, Woody works to right his wrong and rescue Buzz. Adventure, mild peril, and positive messages about loyalty and teamwork abound in this crowd-pleasing classic. Recommended for ages 5 and older Directed by John Lasseter (Pixar Animation Studios, 1995)

3. Aladdin

Disney’s animated retelling of the classic folktale recounts the story of sweet street kid Aladdin as he seeks to win over princess Jasmine with the help of show-stealer Genie, voiced by the incomparable Robin Williams. Some characters reflect objectionable stereotypes, but the overall message of staying true to yourself will appeal to parents, while kids will fall in love with the exciting story and catchy soundtrack. Recommended for ages 6 and older Directed by John Musker, Ron Clements (Walt Disney Pictures, 1992)

4. Babe

Babe is widely considered one of the best family movies of all time for good reason. This beloved live-action farm story of a spunky little pig who aspires to be a sheepdog, but seems destined for the dinner table, will inspire viewers of all ages to dream big, persevere, and love well. Recommended for ages 6 and older Directed by Chris Noonan (Universal Pictures, 1995)

5. The Iron Giant

The Iron Giant is filled with the kind of action kids love, like a giant robot under attack; buildings, trains, and cars crashing; Hogarth, the boy hero, creeping through a dark forest looking for "trouble"; and an arrogant, mean-spirited villain who poses great danger to the world. The exceptionally good script and thought-provoking ideas will win over parents, making this a film the whole family will adore. Recommended for ages 6 and older Directed by Brad Bird (Warner Bros., 1999)

6. The Parent Trap

In this delightful remake of the 1961 original, twins brought up by divorced parents on different continents meet up at summer camp, switch places, and plot to get their parents back together. A young Lindsay Lohan is fantastic as both twins, and the implausibility of the story is overcome by its humor and sweetness. Kids and parents both will get a kick out of this movie. Recommended for ages 6 and older Directed by Nancy Meyers (Walt Disney Pictures, 1999)

7. Space Jam

This animation/live-action mix, where good triumphs over evil, enjoys cult status amongst parents of a certain age. The Looney Tunes characters of old here team up with basketball great Michael Jordan to overcome their would-be alien masters. This quirky movie is a solid pick for family movie night, and will especially impress younger viewers with its heroic characters and funny action sequences. Recommended for ages 7 and older Directed by Joe Pytka (Warner Bros., 1996)

8. Sandlot

Set in the 1960s, The Sandlot follows a group of neighborhood friends who hit a valuable ball into a junkyard. They devise an elaborate scheme to evade a terrifying guard dog and retrieve the ball. With its themes of summer-time fun, friendship, and teamwork, the movie has a sun-kissed, nostalgic tone that both kids and parents will appreciate. Recommended for ages 8 and older Directed by David M. Evans (Twentieth Century Fox, 1993)

9. Good Burger

Good Burger has an absurd charm. A slapstick comedy about two teenagers who do the bare minimum at work until they realize their jobs are at stake, they end up showing loyalty, a strong work ethic, a moral compass, and a lot of smarts. Silly jokes and pratfalls will have kids laughing and parents will appreciate the solid positivity of the film. Recommended for ages 10 and older Directed by Brian Robbins (Paramount Home Media Distribution, 1997)

Coconut Coffee Is Back at 7-Eleven

by Jennifer SwartvagherJuly 2, 2020

Even if you can’t take a trip to a tropical location this summer you can still enjoy the taste from an island resort. 7-Eleven’s newest fresh-brewed hot beverage, tasty, toasty coconut coffee will make you feel like your toes are in the sand. Back by popular demand, limited-edition coconut coffee is a sweet, creamy coconutty concoction made with 100 percent Arabica beans.

Hurry into stores to get it soon because supplies are limited.

Participating 7-Eleven stores are offering seven free any size hot beverages and/or free any size fountain drinks per 7Rewards loyalty member through its 7-Eleven mobile app

If you have redeemed all seven cups you can purchase any size hot coffee for $1 or Big Gulp drink for 49 cents through 7Rewards for the rest of the summer.

Customers who have not already redeemed their seven free cups can try the tropical delight for free through Aug. 9.

“As more and more of us are dreaming of a trip to an exotic locale this year, it’s time to find other ways to treat ourselves,” said 7-Eleven Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Marissa Jarratt. “While we might not be saying ‘Aloha’ to the beach this summer, we can say ‘Mahalo’ for seven free cups of coconut coffee – one of many treats and drinks 7-Eleven customers can grab for a quick and delicious escape.”

For those who want to take it to the next level, 7-Eleven is offering a coffee hack that can only be found in-store. Just mix the coconut coffee with mocha latte to create a delicious coconut mocha. We like to call it the “Coco Loco Mocha.” It’s guaranteed to level up your morning!

And as the world continues to adjust to everyday life amid the pandemic, 7‑Eleven has enhanced its standards and procedures for hygiene, handwashing, sanitation, food handling and preparation in stores, including increased frequency of cleaning high-touch surfaces. All store associates are encouraged to wear masks and gloves when serving customers.

Customers now have access to disposable gloves, tissues and sanitizer stations while shopping in stores. As an extra precaution to help reinforce physical distancing and safer transactions, 7‑Eleven has installed sneeze guards and visual floor markers at the front sales counter. In addition, 7‑Eleven continues to offer contactless payment at participating stores at the register with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

7Rewards is the popular proprietary loyalty program found in the 7-Eleven app, where customers can earn and redeem points on most purchases. That’s free stuff, people! Customers can also take advantage of offers, exclusive discounts and interactive features. The 7-Eleven app is available for download on smartphones via the Apple App Store or via Google Play.

7-Eleven Cancels In-Store Birthday Celebration

by Jennifer SwartvagherJune 17, 2020

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 7‑Eleven, Inc. will not celebrate 7‑Eleven Day, better known as July 11 (7/11), in stores this year. Instead, the convenience retailer is giving a special birthday gift of one million meals to Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the country.

“At 7‑Eleven, our top priority is the safety of customers, Franchisees and employees,” said 7‑Eleven Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Marissa Jarratt. “Gathering nine million of our closest friends in stores on one day just didn’t feel right, but I am heartened that we now have the opportunity to help the communities and neighborhoods that have been the lifeline of our business since 1927.”

“The Feeding America network of food banks has been on the ground addressing the increased need in their communities,” said Lauren Biedron, vice president of corporate partnerships at Feeding America. “We are thankful for 7‑Eleven’s generous donation during this challenging time for many of our neighbors in need.”

7‑Eleven is still giving away free Slurpee drinks this summer. On Jul. 1, 7Rewards loyalty app members will receive one free medium Slurpee coupon in their account. The personalized offer is redeemable the entire month of July, allowing customers the opportunity to treat themselves when it’s convenient for them, while practicing physical distancing in stores. As a bonus, 7Rewards loyalty app members will find offers on yummy foods and beverages, like a Big Bite Hot Dog for just $1, from Jul. 1 to Jul. 12.

If you’re skipping the store altogether, you can still find birthday-worthy delivery deals on the 7NOW delivery app. From Jul. 7 to Jul. 11, whole pizzas are only $5 and a free Slurpee drink is redeemable with your order.

“For nearly two decades, July 11th has been the busiest day of the year for 7‑Eleven stores as millions of customers visit us to kick off summer with their favorite frozen drink” said Jarratt. “But this year, we have to make changes for the greater good. I hope you’ll join us for the in-person party next year.”

As the world continues to reconfigure everyday life in response to the pandemic, 7‑Eleven has enhanced its standards and procedures for hygiene, handwashing, sanitation, food handling and preparation in stores, including increased frequency of cleaning high-touch surfaces. All store associates are encouraged to wear masks and gloves when serving customers. Customers now have access to disposable gloves, tissues and sanitizer stations while shopping in stores.

As an extra precaution to help reinforce physical distancing and safer transactions, 7‑Eleven has installed sneeze guards and visual floor markers at the front sales counter. In addition, 7‑Eleven continues to offer contactless payment at participating stores at the register with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Remember to bring your 7Rewards member account to the party. It’s the proprietary loyalty program in the 7‑Eleven app that gives customers the power to earn and redeem points on most purchases, as well as take advantage of offers, exclusive discounts and interactive features. The 7‑Eleven app is available for download on smartphones via the Apple App Store or via Google Play.

The New Movie “Sonic the Hedgehog” Is the Perfect Family Valentine’s Day Date

by Leah R. SingerFebruary 12, 2020

Between candies, cards and stuffed animals, it can be easy for us to forget the reason for Valentine’s Day—love! Luckily for parents, Sonic the Hedgehog comes in for the rescue with lessons about showing love through friendship and loyalty. Read on to find out why this new movie is the perfect family outing for Valentine’s Day!

Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, Sonic the Hedgehog tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he makes a new life for himself on planet Earth. Sonic and his best friend, Tom (James Marsden), team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The movie also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy that’ll thrill your entire family.

Kids will love the furry and mischievous Sonic, while parents will appreciate the humor, lessons about love and friendship the film is reinforcing to kids and seeing fan-favorite Jim Carrey. Need more convincing to see this awesome movie over Valentine’s Day weekend? Here are three reasons why families will love the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

1. Kids will learn the power of love and friendship. You don’t always know who you’ll meet in life, and kids don’t always have a choice as to who they have to play with or get along with at school. Sonic and Tom don’t choose to team up, but once they do, they become friends and have each other’s backs.

Photo Credit: Courtesy Paramount Pictures and Sega of America.

2. Sonic and Tom will teach everyone to love people for who they are. Often times, people’s differences help assure they make great teams. In Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic is extremely fast, but he doesn’t always think things through. His friend, Tom, plans things out and knows how to work with other humans. Both Sonic and Tom have different skills, but put together, their skills complement each other.

3. Parents will love the message of teamwork. Sonic can’t avoid the evil Dr. Robotnik without Tom’s help. Sonic and Tom make a great team because they work together to accomplish their goals. Dr. Robotnik, however, will not listen to the people who are there to help him, including his assistant. And while we can’t give away the ending, you can probably guess who the winning team is in Sonic the Hedgehog.

Watch the trailer here!

Sonic the Hedgehog is in theaters February 14, 2020 just in time for a perfect Valentine’s Day outing with your family.
