Starbucks is officially in holiday mode with the return of its iconic reusable red cups and special holiday menu.
Starting Thursday, customers who order a handcrafted holiday or fall beverage, including the fan-favorite peppermint mocha, will receive their own 2022 reusable red cup at participating stores across the U.S., while supplies last.
Earlier this month Starbucks announced the return of holiday beverages and festive food, as well as 25 years of the holiday cups.
The coffee chain first rolled out the cups, initially designed by Sandy Nelson in 1997, to signify the arrival of the holiday season. This year, the classic red and Starbucks green colors have accents of mint and sparkles as a nod to the Peppermint Mocha, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Additional fan favorites back on the holiday menu include the Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, and returning for the second year, the nondairy Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte.
The pastry case is also getting the festive treatment for the season with a brand new Chocolate Pistachio Swirl and the return of Reindeer Cake Pops, Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, Cranberry Bliss Bars and Snowman Cookies.
Starbucks is also debuting its annual limited-edition holiday merch lineup, which features an array of colorful cold cups, tumblers, mugs and more in a variety of holiday designs.
