When could Starbucks have Red Cup Day in 2024? Here's what to expect
One of the most eagerly anticipated days of the year for Starbucks fanatics is almost here.
Red Cup Day is known as Starbucks' celebration of the holiday, and customers who order a handcrafted holiday beverage on the day get a free reusable cup, which they can then bring back to receive a 10-cent discount on their beverage, plus 25 bonus stars for Starbucks Rewards members who use the Starbucks app.
While the company itself has not yet announced when Red Cup Day will be held this year, we looked back at which date it was held on the last five years to help give you a sense of when it could occur in 2024.
