Tis the season for the Starbucks seasonal menu, and on Starbucks Red Cup Day, which takes place on Nov. 14, the coffee chain is giving out a reusable limited-edition holiday cup for free with the purchase of any Starbucks holiday beverage.

Below is a breakdown of the calorie count for each of Starbucks' holiday drinks, measured in a Grande size (16 oz)

If iced coffee is more your speed, then you’ll love @seed.oil.sisters' subtly sweet, low-calorie swap for Starbucks’ Iced Sugar Cookie Latte.

Starbucks is really hard launching the holidays. They're giving away free reusable red holiday cups and have a bunch of new drinks. Wohoo! They really didn't waste any time getting to their holiday menu either as they basically released them right after Halloween. In fact, we'll see a hint of Halloween in their holiday menu. You'll see.

Beyond coffee, the chain is introducing the Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, which has orange and cranberry flavors and such holiday spices as cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The Refresher can be made with water, lemonade, or coconut milk. Also, six seasonal cold foams will be available, including a new Gingerbread Cream and Salted Pecan options.

Holiday drink season has arrived with cafes and restaurants across the country now serving peppermint, gingerbread and cookie-flavored beverages in "red cups." Why it matters: Businesses are capitalizing on holiday cheer to create a buzz and drive sales.
