“Red Cup Day,” a favorite Starbucks holiday tradition that offers customers free reusable cups, takes place this week — but there’s a catch. The coffee giant’s popular “Red Cup Day” for 2024 takes place Thursday, according to the company. On Red Cup Day, the chain will offer customers reusable holiday cups for free with the order of a qualifying drink. “Customers who order any size handcrafted holiday beverage will receive a free limited-edition reusable red holiday cup at participating stores across the U.S., while supplies last,” Starbucks said. The coffee giant began selling its famous red holiday cups for the 2024 season last week as it released its popular holiday menu, with returning fan favorites and new drinks.
