One of the most eagerly anticipated days of the year for Starbucks fanatics is almost here.

Red Cup Day is known as Starbucks' celebration of the holiday, and customers who order a handcrafted holiday beverage on the day get a free reusable cup, which they can then bring back to receive a 10-cent discount on their beverage, plus 25 bonus stars for Starbucks Rewards members who use the Starbucks app.

While the company itself has not yet announced when Red Cup Day will be held this year, we looked back at which date it was held on the last five years to help give you a sense of when it could occur in 2024.

Here's when Starbucks held Red Cup Day the last five years:

2023: Thursday, Nov. 16
2022: Thursday, Nov. 17
2021: Thursday, Nov. 18
2020: Friday, Nov. 6
2019: Thursday, Nov. 7

When is Red Cup Day at Starbucks in 2024?

Based on the trends above, our best guess as to when Red Cup Day will happen in 2024 is Thursday, Nov. 14.

Last year, customers could get the free cup by ordering any holiday or fall beverage at any temperature: hot, iced or blended. Here is a list of drinks that fell under that category last year:

Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato
Caramel Brulée Latte
Chestnut Praline Latte
Gingerbread Latte
Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai
Hot Chocolate
Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
Oleato Gingerbread Oatmilk Latte
Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Peppermint Mocha
Peppermint White Hot Chocolate
Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte
Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte
White Hot Chocolate
