How to get a holiday cup

On November 14, 2024By Littum

Thursday is Red Cup Day at Starbucks, one of the most anticipated days of the year for those who love Starbucks.

The coffee chain is rewarding customers who order select holiday beverages with a free limited-edition red holiday cup that fits a “grande” or 16-ounce drink — while supplies last.

This year’s reusable cup is made with 95% recycled materials and will be available only while supplies last, the company announced Wednesday.

Customers who return to Starbucks with the custom cup, or any reusable cup, will receive 10 cents off their beverage. Starbucks Rewards members will earn 25 bonus stars when they use the Starbucks app.

Only certain holiday-themed beverages qualify a customer to receive a red cup. The size of the drink ordered will not affect whether a customer will receive a cup. Holiday themed drinks can also be ordered in the storeat the drive-thru, on the Starbucks app or ordered for delivery on “Red Cup Day.”

In addition, for a limited time, customers who order delivery via the Starbucks app can have their red cup delivered at no charge. The $1.99 delivery fee is waived until November 17th when you place a delivery order through the Starbucks app. Restrictions and other taxes/fees/gratuities still apply, the company said on its website.
