How do you get the free Panera Snowman Cup on Dec. 3, 2026?

Panera calls it a one-day chance to receive a free Snowman Cup with a qualifying purchase. The release’s footnote sets these rules, and the date is a Thursday.

2. Make an in-cafe purchase of $25 or more at the cashier.
3. Be among the first 12 customers. Supplies are limited to 12 cups per participating cafe.
4. Take one cup. The limit is one per person.

The offer is not valid with any other coupon or offer, and it runs while supplies last. The release names no membership requirement for the free cup. The release does not list which cafes take part.

What do the Panera Snowman Cups cost?

The Snowman Cups are limited-edition glass cups sold in mystery boxes. Each box contains one snowman glass cup. They are sold on The Panera Shop for $25 plus tax and shipping, while supplies last. As of Oct. 27, 2026, Panera had 2,244 bakery-cafes, according to the release’s company description.

Peet’s Coffee holiday menu 2026: what is known

Peet’s Coffee has not announced a 2026 holiday launch date or an advent calendar. Its holiday page at peets.com shows the 2026 Holiday Blend and holiday drinks: Peppermint Mocha, Iced Peppermint Mocha, Holiday Spice Latte, Iced Holiday Spice Latte and an Iced Peppermint Bark Matcha. The page lists no launch date or prices, and the Peet’s newsroom had no 2026 holiday release as of Nov. 6, 2026.

Last year is the only dated reference. In 2025, a Nov. 6 release on PR Newswire, listed on the Peet’s newsroom, said the holiday menu was available starting that day at coffeebars nationwide. It also introduced the “12 Days of Peet’s Advent Calendar,” which retailed for $79.95 at Peets.com and coffeebars. Treat those as 2025 facts until Peet’s publishes 2026 details.
