Supplies are limited, the coffee chain says, but the giveaway will be available via mobile, curbside or pickup orders, or Uber Eats delivery.

This is the second treat this month for fans of Starbucks’ holiday products. The annual red cups and holiday drinks were released on Nov. 4.

Those drinks include the peppermint mocha, toasted white chocolate mocha, caramel brulee latte, chestnut praline latte and iced sugar cookie almond milk latte.

Starbucks said the reusable cup giveaway is a way to honor the company on its 50th anniversary and promote reusability. The cup itself is made with 50% recycled content.

“As we build on our strong start to the holiday season, we’re delighted to bring back our reusable red cup giveaway for the fourth straight year,” Brady Brewer, chief marketing officer for Starbucks, said in a news release. “The reusable red cup has become a tradition for customers each holiday season and is a step towards reducing single-use cup waste as we work towards our planet-positive goals.”

Personal reusable cups are only accepted inside stores, according to the chain.
