It’s Red Cup Day 2024 at Starbucks! The company has announced its unofficial festival for coffee lovers. In order to mark the celebrations, the coffee chain is distributing free limited-edition red cups to its customers in exchange for a holiday beverage. The offer is valid only at the participating locations in the U.S. and Canada, beginning from November 14 until the stock lasts.
Starbucks’ Instagram handle posted a small clip announcing the news. They shared the video with the following caption:
“A gift from us to you. Get your limited edition reusable red cup on November 14th with the purchase of any size handcrafted holiday beverage. Quantities are limited, while supplies last. At participating U.S. & Canada stores.”
The company informed us that this year’s red cups are made from “95% recycled content.” The cups are designed in red featuring red and white Christmas-themed ornaments along with a Starbucks logo on top.
In a press release, Starbucks declared the good news for its customers,
“Enjoy a moment of holiday joy all season long with our beloved beverages, festive food and must-have merchandise perfect for gifting.”
