As the weather gets colder, and we trade our denim shorts for long coats and winter boots, we can’t help but realize the most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching.

This year, Starbucks will roll out its special holiday cups from November 4, bringing back creatively-designed cheer for the special season.

There will be four new designs, each including the coffee chain’s signature red hue, together with Christmas green and winter white, as well as a pop of lilac for an extra festive look.

Each design is inspired by the idea of gift-giving and decorating, with one cup adorned with the geometric shapes of wrapping paper, and another full of the ribbons and sparkles used to top off a wonderful present.

The third cup resembles lovely Christmas lights, while the last features diagonal Starbucks ‘stripes’ that remind you of a candy cane.

Interestingly, each cup will come with printed ‘gift tag’, so you can reward family and friends with some of the season’s most cheerful drinks — a Peppermint Mocha, anyone?

Starbucks will also be stocking up on waste-free drinkware you can use year-round, such as candy cane tumblers, metallic studded tumblers, and jewel-hue cups that make the best presents for anyone on your list.

Tempted? So are we. Don’t mind if we head down to the nearest Starbucks outlet in search of an Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte and some fancy Christmas cups.
