Starbucks’ 2024 edition of Red Cup Day will be on Nov. 14 at participating locations across the United States, according to the coffee house chain.
Fans of Starbucks will get a free reusable red cup with any holiday drink order "while supplies last."
The "limited-edition" red cups will be 16 ounces, which is the same as a grande.
All sizes and temperatures of drinks from Starbuck’s recently-launched holiday menu and its fall menu can earn customers a free reusable red cup on Thursday, and so can hot chocolates, the company said. The latter of those two seasonal menus has been available since Aug. 22.
"The reusable red cup giveaway is available however you order, whether ordering in the Starbucks store, in the drive-thru, on the Starbucks app using the order ahead and pay feature, or through Starbucks delivery (available through Uber Eats, Door Dash and GrubHub apps)," Starbucks said.
Last year, Red Cup Day brought a 31.7% increase in Starbucks visits "relative to the previous five week daily average," according to Placer.ai. The analytics company also reported years like 2022 and 2021 saw higher jumps of 81% and 65% on Red Cup Day.
