A new Apple Pomegranate Refresher will also be available, with an option to make it creamy with coconut milk. Beyond drinks, customers can anticipate new food items such as a Bearista Cake Pop and updated sandwich recipes. Returning holiday treats like the Cranberry Bliss Bar and Snowman Cookie are also on the menu. Starbucks will also release new holiday merchandise, including themed drinkware and accessories on November 5. A highly anticipated event for collectors is Starbucks Red Cup Day on Tuesday, November 17. On Red Cup Day, customers can receive a free reusable holiday cup with any handcrafted holiday beverage purchase. Supplies for the free cups are limited, so early arrival is recommended.
