Red Cup Day Returns
Starbucks fans can also look forward to Red Cup Day, one of the brand’s most celebrated annual traditions. On this day, customers who purchase any handcrafted holiday beverage receive a free reusable red cup. The event, known for long lines and festive excitement, has become a symbol of the coffee chain’s holiday spirit.
Hello Kitty Joins the Holiday Fun
Starbucks is also teaming up with Hello Kitty for a limited-edition holiday collection. The collaboration blends nostalgia with festive joy, featuring themed merchandise such as tumblers, mugs, and plush toys.
Starbucks is releasing new Hello Kitty holiday items, including a cold cup for $24.95, a stainless steel tumbler, a plush toy for $34.95, and a ceramic mug priced at $32.95. Starbucks
“Both brands were born in the 1970s and share a love for connection and fun,” said Kap Pitarys, Starbucks’ director of merchandise. “We wanted to create something that feels joyful and nostalgic.”
The collection includes items like a Hello Kitty plush in a Starbucks apron ($34.95), a ceramic mug ($32.95), and a stainless steel cold cup ($24.95). The items will be available in participating Starbucks locations in Canada and the U.S. starting November 6, while supplies last.
Festive Treats and Retail Offerings
Starbucks bakeries will also feature returning favourites such as the Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar, and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, alongside new treats like the Polar Bear Cake Pop and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread.
For those eager to bring the flavours home early, Starbucks’ holiday coffees and creamers — including Hazelnut Cocoa and Chestnut Praline Latte Creamer — are already available at major grocery stores across Canada.
