To mark the arrival of the season, Starbucks is gifting customers a free collectible red holiday cup on November 6 to those who order a handcrafted holiday beverage at participating Starbucks stores in the US. This year’s cup theme, Carry the Merry, is an invitation to enjoy the little moments of brightness around us. The cups come in four designs: Ribbon, Dot, Sparkle and Brand Wrap.
“Our thought behind the cups this year was about people carrying them out in the world as messengers of joy,” says Jeff Wilkson, creative director for Starbucks. “In a way that message deepened as we got further and further into this year. We want to be that beacon for people, a brief moment that they can look forward to.”
