GET A FREE RED CUP: Starbucks has revealed its new holiday menu, meaning Red Cup Day is right around the corner. Here’s how to get your free reusable red cup on that day.


Starbucks has dropped their holiday menu with some festive new cup designs, and that means Red Cup Day is coming up soon. While we don’t know the official day yet, it’s usually not long after their new seasonal drinks drop.

If you’re not familiar, Red Cup Day is when Starbucks gives out reusable red cups to shoppers. But how do you go about getting a free cup on this one-day-only event? Don’t worry, we’re here to help.

If you order any size seasonal beverage on Red Cup Day — doesn’t matter if it’s hot, iced, or blended — you’ll get a free grande reusable red cup with your purchase. If you’d like to see what new drinks and food items are joining the Starbucks menu for the holiday season this year, have a look at their reveal here.

Below, we’ve listed the drinks included in the offer on Red Cup Day last year to give you a better idea. Unfortunately, the Christmas Blend brewed coffee and Christmas Starbucks Reserve weren’t included at the time, but who knows what this year holds:

  • Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato

  • Caramel Brulée Latte

  • Chestnut Praline Latte

  • Gingerbread Latte

  • Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai

  • Hot Chocolate

  • Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

  • Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte 

  • Peppermint Hot Chocolate

  • Peppermint Mocha

  • Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

  • Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte

  • Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

  • Pumpkin Spice Latte

  • Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte

  • White Hot Chocolate

These colorful reusable cups are a helpful item to keep year-round. Having a reusable cup is better for the environment, plus it features a cute design to always remind you of the holiday season. What’s even better is bringing this reusable cup back to Starbucks will net you a $ 0.10 discount off your drink order, which is a nice bonus!

As we near the holidays, there are plenty more offers for shopper to check out, especially with Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up. It’s truly the season of savings, and plenty of retailers are jumping in on the seasonal sale event with some excellent deals, like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
