Starbucks Red Cup Day
Starbucks Red Card Day for 2026 is rumored to be either the 12th or 14th of November! Participating Starbucks stores will be giving away a FREE Starbucks Reusable Holiday Cup (also known as Starbucks Red Cup Day) with the purchase of any size Handcrafted Holiday Beverage!
These cups are only available while supplies last and usually sell out FAST so you’ll want to head there EARLY to make sure that you’ll be able to grab one.






So did the red cup day take place today?
Hi Kim! Red Cup Day did not take place today. It sounds like Starbucks has not released a date for it this year yet, but it should be happening soon (based off past years’ dates)!
I can’t wait to see what new flavors Starbucks will bring for the 2024 holiday season! The limited-time drinks always get me in the festive spirit. Any guesses on what they might come up with this year?
Me too! I’m not a fan of pumpkin spice but I love the Peppermint mochas. I order one at Target on Black Friday every year to sip while I shop! 🙂
