SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines unveiled another one of its special-edition aircraft on Tuesday.

This time, a Boeing 737-900ER showcases Starbucks’ famous red cups filled with the company’s holiday drinks.

The jet will make its inaugural flight from Seattle to Chicago on Tuesday and fly throughout the holiday season.

Starbucks and Alaska will provide 50 flights with reusable holiday cups and treats through Dec.12.

Also for the holidays, the airline said any guest wearing an ugly holiday sweater during the season can buy a day pass to one of its nine lounges in Anchorage (ANC), New York (JFK), Portland (PDX), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA) for $25 for immediate use.
