People were not impressed with the plain red cup last year, so this year you will see several different designs on the red cups - All of which were designed by women! 

"So this year, after 24 consecutive years of designing a red cup that will be seen all over the world, we decided to do something quite different. With everything that's going on in the world, and everything that's going on in our country, we have a lot to be thankful for" said the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schulz, at an event celebrating the new cups.

According to the Starbucks website, "taking a cue from customers who had been using their red holiday cups as a canvas, last December Starbucks invited customers to share their designs on Instagram, receiving more than 1,200 individual submissions from 13 countries. Ultimately, 13 designs from six countries were chosen to be featured."
