Starbucks Red Cup Day is just around the corner: Find out when the 2025 date is
For many coffee and cafe culture aficionados, the Seattle based chain’s Red Cup Day 2025 marks the unofficial start of the holiday season.
Starbucks Red Cup Day is an annual, highly anticipated promotional event that unofficially marks the start of the holiday season for many Starbucks customers.
This year on, Thursday, November 13, customers who purchase a handcrafted holiday beverage at participating stores receive a free, collectible, reusable red holiday cup (while supplies last).
The free cup is tied to the purchase of any of the drinks on Starbucks’ seasonal holiday menu, which often includes favorites like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, and Iced Sugar Cookie Latte.
The Red Cup is a tradition that dates back to 1997 with the introduction of Starbucks’ seasonal cups. The reusable cup giveaway started more recently and has become a symbol for the start of the Christmas holiday period. Many customers collect the different designs each year.
Red Cup Day is typically one of Starbucks’ busiest days of the year, as the reusable cups are a limited-time, limited-quantity offer.
Starbucks reveals their holiday 2025 beverage cups that are dropping on November 6th with the holiday menu.
