Starbucks announces holiday merchandise and seasonal menu returns

Starbucks has announced several holiday-themed product launches and menu updates. Red Cup Day is scheduled for November 17, offering customers a collectible, reusable red cup with the purchase of any handcrafted holiday beverage. Customers can also save 10 cents on future drinks by reusing these cups.

The company is also reintroducing the viral Bearista Glass Cold Cup. A surprise collection of Bearista Glass Cold Cup characters will arrive in U.S. locations on November 10, including a limited-quantity “Surprise Box Edition.” The original Bearista Glass Cold Cup, featuring a bear with a green hat lid, is set to return to select locations on December 1.

Seasonal beverage returns include the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte, and Gingerbread Chai. New additions to the menu include a Tiramisu Velvet lineup and an Apple Pomegranate Refresher. Food offerings will feature items such as a Bearista Cake Pop and a Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese.
