Starbucks Red Cup Day is an annual event where Starbucks marks the beginning of the holiday season and they offer a free limited-edition Holiday Red Cup with the purchase of any Handcrafted Holiday Beverage purchase – Iced Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai for example. Starbucks Red Cups are an absolute hallmark of the holidays. It’s not Christmas until The Red Cups arrive, and this year it’s confirmed to hit stores today, November 16th!
Starbucks will be rolling out their range of festive beverages and they’ll be served in everyone’s favorite iconic red holiday cups. These reusable cups are available while supplies last and the offer is available on any order type, including deliveries by Uber Eats, DoorDash or through the Starbucks App. For each reusable red cup or any clean cup returned to Starbucks you get 10¢ off your order and 25 Bonus Stars to your Starbucks Rewards account redeemable through the app!

I got mine! I can never miss this day, tho mine are starting to pile up 😅 but hubs and I went thru the ones I have, decided which ones to keep and the others I’m going to turn into cute, cheap little gifts for his coworkers so they can find new homes and don’t go to waste! ❤️

So happy to hear you scored your red cup!
I used to work at Starbucks 12 years ago in one of the busiest stores in the capitals district. They did not have red cup day back than
Omg I got mine today as well! Thank you 🙏🏽
Sweet! So happy to hear you scored your cup Ale!
I didn’t realize it was today but just happened to get Starbucks today and early enough that I got one. Do glad I didn’t miss it because I love these cups for coffee at home 🙂
