Following the announcement of their new Christmas menu, Starbucks are set to roll out the festive cups in the coming weeks.

The red cup has been released by Starbucks every year since 1997, with the appearance of the drinks holder changing slightly as time goes by.

In recent years, customers have started snapping photos of the Christmas designs.
