A red apron at Starbucks signifies a special festive period, specifically appearing around the winter holidays. These distinctive aprons are part of Starbucks' tradition of using different apron colors and designs to commemorate unique occasions or honor specific groups.
Starbucks aprons, traditionally green, occasionally vary in color and design to mark significant events or acknowledge particular contributions. These variations serve as visual cues, celebrating cultural milestones, national holidays, or specific community groups, creating a unique connection with customers and partners during special times.

Beyond the standard green, Starbucks utilizes several distinct apron designs, each carrying its own unique meaning and appearing for specific reasons:
| Apron Design | Meaning / Occasion |

| Embroidered American Flag Apron | Celebrates and honors veterans and military spouses. |
| "Starbucks" in Sign Language Apron | Worn at Starbucks' dedicated Signing Stores to promote inclusivity. |
These special aprons underscore Starbucks' commitment to recognizing diverse cultures, national celebrations, and significant community contributions, making the coffee experience more personal and memorable.
