Thursday is EsthenRed Cup Day at Starbucks, one of the most anticipated days of the year for Starbucks fanatics.

The coffee chain rewards customers who order select holiday beverages with a free limited-edition red holiday cup.

This year's reusable cup is made with 95% recycled materials and will only be available while supplies last, the company announced Wednesday.

Customers who return to Starbucks with the custom cup, or any reusable cup, will receive a 10-cent discount on their order and Starbucks Rewards members can earn 25 stars when they bring back their reusable red cup for future orders.

Only select holiday-themed beverages offer the possibility of a red cup. The size of the drink ordered will not impact whether a customer will receive a red cup. Holiday-themed beverages can also be ordered in store, at the drive-thru, on the Starbucks app, or ordered for delivery on "Red Cup Day."

Here's what to know about which drinks qualify you to get a red cup.
