The Lo Down: Starbucks Holiday Menu & Red Cup Day Dates Announced

Because nothing says “it’s officially the holidays” like that first Peppermint Mocha in a shiny new red cup.

It’s beginning to look a lot like coffee season! Starbucks is ringing in the holidays early with the return of its holiday menu on Thursday, November 6, bringing back the fan-favorite flavors that make this time of year so merry.

☕ Here’s What’s Back

Peppermint Mocha
Caramel Brûlée Latte
Chestnut Praline Latte
Iced Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte
Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai

But the real reason fans are counting down? Red Cup Day is happening Thursday, November 13. On that day only, Starbucks will gift customers a free reusable red holiday cup with the purchase of any handcrafted holiday drink — hot, iced, or blended — while supplies last.

This year’s red cup design brings back the classic festive feel with a fresh, modern twist — perfect for your morning coffee run, office holiday photo, or cozy Houston weekend stroll.

So mark both dates on your calendar:
☕ November 6 — Holiday menu returns
🎄 November 13 — Red Cup Day celebration
