What Do the Starbucks Holiday Cups 2026 Look Like?
This year’s designs combine Christmas trees, ribbons, stars and decorative bows. Traditional red and green appear alongside mint, cranberry, cream and antique gold.
According to Starbucks’ official design announcement, the creative process began nearly 2 years before launch.
The cold-drink cup features evergreen branches and red bows. Starbucks also introduced its first holiday-themed 3.5-ounce pup cup, decorated with Junie, a real-life beagle.
When Is Starbucks Red Cup Day 2026?
Starbucks Red Cup Day returns on November 17, 2026. Customers purchasing qualifying handcrafted holiday beverages can receive a free reusable red cup at participating locations.
