Starbucks unveils 2024 holiday cups
Starbucks has released a new holiday cup collection as the company prepares to start the holiday season.
Just ahead of the holiday season kickoff at Starbucks on Nov. 7, the company wants to bring their customers joy as they sip on their favorite hot or cold beverages.
“We love finding these genuine moments of joy and coffee to inspire the creative,” Kristy Cameron, Starbucks’ creative director, said in a statement. “Whether that’s coffee trees growing, beans roasting, cups toasting, or lights glowing – we wanted to share the warmth of our coffeehouse and the anticipation of the red cups arriving with our customers and partners.”
To achieve the color of the new cups, the company decided to incorporate the traditional Starbucks green color as well as adding cranberry red to set the festive tone, Starbucks said.
“We're really excited to lean into greens this year,” Cameron said. “The jade green is so vibrant and bright, and we love how it references our brand colors in a way that brings a spark of joy to our holiday cups this season.”
This year’s theme, “Merrier Together”, is a recognition of community the holidays bring as people unite through song. “We kept thinking about this notion of voices coming together, like our siren singing,” Cameron said. “It feels musical in a way.”
