Here’s how to get your free red cup from Starbucks

It’s back! To ring in the holiday season, Starbucks has officially announced the return of Red Cup Day this year.

Starting this Thursday, Nov. 17, you’ll receive a free limited-edition reusable red cup with the purchase of any fall or holiday beverage.


This year’s red cup features a classic design with white starbursts and snowflakes glistening amid a festive red background.

Qualifying beverages to receive a free cup:

Eligible orders can be placed online, through the Starbucks app, Starbucks delivery or at a store.

Free cups are available while supplies last and historically have run out well before the end of the day.

You can bring the reusable cup to use in-store to receive 10 cents off a drink anytime in the future. Starbucks rewards members can also snag 25 bonus stars when bringing in their own cups.

Starbucks’ beloved holiday red cup is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year since the first holiday cup debuted back in 1997. The coffee giant released a reminiscent look back at each and every holiday design since its inception.

Perennial fan-favorite peppermint mocha is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
