Introduction to Red Cup Day
Starbucks revealed some news devoted fans have long been waiting for on Monday.
The coffee giant’s fan-favorite Red Cup Day will return on Nov. 13, Starbucks shared in an Instagram post. As part of the day-long promotion, customers who order a handcrafted holiday beverage will receive a reusable red holiday cup.
What to Expect on Red Cup Day
Red Cup Day is typically one of the chain’s busiest days on the calendar – if not the busiest – and in past years, has seen long lines and cups selling out in just minutes. It’s essential to note that not all locations participate, and supplies are limited.
Holiday Menu and Promotions
The promotion will take place one week after the rollout of Starbucks’ holiday menu, which debuts Nov. 6. This year’s holiday drink lineup includes six beverages: Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, Iced Gingerbread Chai, Chestnut Praline Latte and the Eggnog Latte.
The drinks can be made hot, iced or as a Frappuccino.
Holiday Food and Coffee Lineup
Starbucks’ bakery case will feature holiday staples, too, including its popular Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish. Two food items will be new this year – the Polar Bear Cake Pop and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread.
Also debuting for the holidays will be a special whole bean coffee lineup, which consists of the chain’s Thanksgiving Blend, Christmas Blend, Christmas Blonde Roast and Holiday Blend.
Early Access to Holiday Flavors
But for those looking to get a taste of the holidays sooner rather than later, some options are available now. Seasonal flavors, such as Peppermint Mocha and Hazelnut Cocoa, can be purchased in stores already.
Conclusion
Red Cup Day is a highly anticipated event for Starbucks fans, and this year’s promotion promises to be just as exciting. With a range of holiday drinks, food, and coffee options available, customers can get into the holiday spirit early. Be sure to mark your calendars for Nov. 13 and get ready to join in on the festive fun.
