Introduction to Starbucks’ New Holiday Menu and Merchandise
Starbucks customers are already clawing at the chance to score the brand’s new bear-shaped drinking vessel. On Nov. 6, the coffee giant will officially launch its holiday menu and seasonal cups at stores nationwide, and in addition to the return of the Peppermint Mocha and Caramel Brulée Latte, festive drinkware and gifts will drop in its cafes.
New Merchandise
There are glossy tumblers, pleated mugs, and coffee-themed ornaments, but one item has really gotten the internet talking: the Glass Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup. The 20-ounce cup costs $29.95 and is shaped like a classic teddy bear wearing a Starbucks green knitted beanie. It promises to bring “instant joy to every sip.” The chain revved up anticipation for the cup with a Nov. 5 Instagram post showing a non-ursid barista making a handcrafted beverage in the critter-shaped container.
The Bearista Cup Frenzy
People all over the internet — and not just in Starbucks’ comments section — are now scrambling to get their paws on the limited-time item. Seasonal beverages and bakery products will be available in Starbucks coffeehouses on Nov. 6. Fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, with one Facebook user writing, “I’m paws-itive this bear cup is the best thing since sliced bread.” An Instagram user wrote, “This is the CUTEST cup I’ll ever own!!!!!,” while another user said, “I hate coffee but I’d get a coffee just for this,” to which Starbucks replied, “Hello, great news, you do not have to like Coffee to purchase the new Bearista Cup!”
Resale Market
Even though the cup hasn’t even been released yet, it’s already been spotted on resale sites like eBay, where one cup is going for over $90 with 30-plus bids, as well as Mercari, where cups are being sold for as high as $139. One adamant TikToker said, “I will fight you for it, okay?” and added that he already contacted his local shop to make sure it saves one for him.
Additional Holiday Offers
If you’re unsuccessful in your quest to own what may be this year’s Starbucks Pink Stanley Cup, the coffee giant is dropping plenty more merch on Nov. 6, including its collaboration with Hello Kitty. Nov. 13 will mark the return of Red Cup Day, when customers who purchase a handcrafted holiday beverage of any size will receive an additional grande-sized reusable red holiday cup.
Conclusion
The new Starbucks holiday menu and merchandise are highly anticipated, with the Glass Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup being the most sought-after item.
