Inside this year’s design

The 2025 red cup, made with 95 percent recycled material, features a hand-drawn illustration by Starbucks designer Yvonne Chan. 

“The design is inspired by the little moment of magic you feel when you step into a Starbucks from the cold outside,” said Chan. “With the hand-drawn sketch, I tried to capture the feeling of something crafted by one person for another.”

“The design is inspired by the little moment of magic you feel when you step into a Starbucks from the cold outside,” said Chan.

Bring back your cup for extra cheer 

Using a personal, reusable cup is a gift in more ways than one. Customers who bring in their clean reusable red cup (or any cup!) will receive a 10-cent discount on their beverage, plus Starbucks Rewards members will earn double stars on their entire order.
