Starbucks is unveiling its 2024 holiday cup designs on Nov. 7, and fans are eagerly anticipating the seasonal release. With vibrant red, green, and pink themes, this year’s festive collection is already being hailed online as the “prettiest ones yet.”
Starbucks' New Holiday Cups Spark Buzz with Bold Red, Green, and Pink Designs
Starbucks is set to unveil its new seasonal holiday cups for 2024, and fans are already praising them as the “prettiest ones yet.” Over the weekend, Starbucks shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram, giving followers a look into the creative process behind this year’s designs. The new collection, featuring vibrant red, green, and pink graphics, has generated considerable excitement.
The video opened with four graphic designers holding their creations while waving to the camera. “We’re the creative team behind the holiday cups,” read the text, introducing the artists responsible for this year’s festive designs. As the video progressed, viewers saw each cup’s design come to life, accompanied by insights into their inspiration. “From sketch to reality, we pour craft and care into every cup, and each of our designs tells a unique story,” Starbucks shared in the video.
Starbucks’ New Holiday Cups Stir Fan Excitement and Nostalgia Ahead of November 7 Launch
One cup, decorated with colorful overlapping circles, appeared against a backdrop of soft holiday lights. Another, inspired by the look of festive ribbon and the rolling hills of Starbucks' coffee-growing regions, showcased a ripple effect across its surface.
Fans flooded the comment section with excitement. “These are so cute and cheerful!” one user wrote, while another added, “Oh, this is fun! I’ve actually always wondered about the design process!” Some fans were even more enthusiastic, with one declaring, “I’ll be there as soon as y’all open!” and another calling them the “Prettiest ones yet!!”
Not all responses were positive, however. Some fans voiced nostalgia for past designs, longing for a “vintage” look reminiscent of Starbucks’ holiday cups from the 1980s to the early 2000s. “We want vintage cups! Not a throwback, but something that makes Christmas feel like Christmas,” one follower commented, while another wrote, “These cups do not scream holiday at all! Go back to the ‘feeling’ of holiday @starbucks.”
The four new holiday cup designs will officially launch on November 7, 2024, coinciding with the release of Starbucks' limited-time winter menu.
