What is Red Cup Day at Starbucks and when is it?
The Red Cup Day is a Christmas holiday tradition that was launched by Starbucks to highlight its winter menu. In the past, the new cup was launched at the same time as the winter drinks. However, in 2022, the company decided to introduce reusable cups to reduce waste by 50% by 2030. This year, the Red Cup Day will be taking place on Thursday, November 16th.
The phenomenon of new cups has been a social media favorite and has even led to many launching a countdown for the same.
Luckily, customers do not have to go the extra mile to get their hands on the cup. You can get the free cup however you order, via the store, the app, or other delivery partners like Uber Eats or DoorDash. However, it is important to remember that the cups are available until the supplies last.

Starbucks Red Cup Day strike
Starbucks workers have launched the Red Cup Rebellion strike in the means to improve staffing, schedule issues, and bargain with the union. Many workers expressed their hardship during promotional offers, such as the Red Cup Day, as large orders would pile up online and offline.
Speaking to The Guardian, Bruce Halstead, a barista at a Starbucks roastery in Seattle, Washington said: “I feel like customers don’t know to the full extent how hard the promotional days can be. It’s super exciting and fun for our customers to have these new cups, new drinks, and all these exclusive things, but our management does not staff us correctly.”
In a statement, Starbucks acknowledged that they were aware of the strike and are “committed to working with all partners, side-by-side, to elevate the every day, and we hope that Workers United’s priorities will shift to include the shared success of our partners and working to negotiate contracts for those they represent,”
