Written by Jeff Doucette | Nov 24, 2025 9:33:05 PM

Holiday cup season is officially here and with the major chains unveiling their holiday cups, we asked our Field Agent community to weigh in. Which design captured their hearts this year?

We surveyed agents across the country and asked them to rank four holiday cup designs purely on their aesthetic.

 

The Results Are In!

Across all responses, one cup clearly stood above the rest:

1st Place: McDonald’s — 41%

With 614 votes, McDonald’s takes the crown for the second year in a row, with their Grinch inspired designs.

2nd Place: Tim Hortons — 28%

With 421 votes, Tims captured second place with their vintage, quintesentially Canadian design. 

3rd Place: Starbucks — 24%

Starbucks was not far behind, with 349 votes, landing them in third with their simplistic design, reminiscent of holiday wrapping paper. 

4th Place: Second Cup — 7%

Second Cup rounds out the list with 100 votes with their yellow design.
