Starbucks is celebrating the return of its popular 'Red Cup Day' in Canada, marking the debut of the holiday menu and the introduction of the new 'Cran-Merry Orange Refresher,' the first holiday Refresher of the season. On Thursday, November 14, consumers who order any size handcrafted holiday beverage at participating locations will "receive a complimentary, limited-edition grande (16-ounce) reusable red cup, available while supplies last."
The free reusable cup is not just a holiday collectible—it’s a practical keepsake designed to spread festive cheer throughout the season. With its charming bauble design inspired by bright red coffee cherries, this eco-friendly cup is made from 95% recycled materials, reflecting Starbucks' commitment to sustainability. Beyond its seasonal appeal, customers can make the most of this gift by" bringing it back on future visits for a $0.10 discount on their order," encouraging both environmental consciousness and continued holiday enjoyment.
