Everything You Need to Know About Starbucks’ Red Cup Day
It’s almost time for one of Starbuck’s most exciting days of the holiday season, Red Cup Day. Here’s how it works.
On Thursday November 13, when you order any size of the handcrafted holiday or fall beverage, you’ll receive a free grande (16-ounce) Starbucks reusable red cup at participating stores, while supplies last.
Here are the full list of beverages eligible to receive the reusable red cup:
Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte, Sugar Cookie Breve, Gingerbread Chai, Gingerbread Latte, Peppermint Hot Chocolate, White Hot Chocolate, Hot Chocolate, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai, Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, Holiday and Fall Cold Foams and Protein Cold Foams.
This year, Starbucks says it’s giving away more red cups than ever before and staffing extra baristas to ensure every customer has a smooth and festive experience.
If you can’t make it to stores on Thursday, the red cup giveaway is also available through the Starbucks app and Starbucks delivery on DoorDash, Grubhub or Uber Eats.
This year’s 2025 red cup is made with 95 percent recycled material and features a hand-drawn illustration by Starbucks designer Yvonne Chan.
“The design is inspired by the little moment of magic you feel when you step into a Starbucks from the cold outside,” said Chan. “With the hand-drawn sketch, I tried to capture the feeling of something crafted by one person for another.”
According to Starbucks, using a reusable cup is a win-win. Customers who bring in their clean reusable red cup (or any cup!) will receive a 10-cent discount on their beverage and Starbucks Rewards members will earn double stars on their entire order.
Will you be joining in on the holiday cheer and celebrating Red Cup Day this Thursday, November 13?
