Festive Ombré Coffee Cups

Starbucks Has Just Debuted Two New Reusable Cup Sets for the Holidays

— November 13, 2019 — Marketing
Holiday merch has officially arrived at Starbucks stores and this year's lineup features two reusable cup sets in festive ombré shades.

In recent years, Starbucks has made an effort to encourage consumers to bring reusable cups. To keep the spirit of sustainability alive through the holiday season, Starbucks has debuted two festive reusable cup sets. The first is a six-pack of reusable hot cups in ombré hues of red and pink. These cups also feature festive saying such as 'Merry Coffee' and 'Coffee All The Way.' As for the other set of cups, there are five cold drink tumblers in classic holiday colors. These cups feature the same fun holiday sayings, but also come with the addition of a candy cane striped reusable straws.
