Starbucks has generated considerable excitement as it prepares to launch its Glass Bearista Cold Cup on November 6. This adorable, bear-shaped beverage container has already gone viral even before its release, capturing the hearts of coffee lovers across social media.
In a recent Instagram Reel, Starbucks showcased the cup, featuring a bear design complete with a cheerful green beanie cap and its iconic logo on the front. The video, accompanied by festive music, depicts a barista crafting an iced coffee inside the new cup, which also boasts a green and white straw for added charm. The post accompanying the video reads, “who’s getting a bearista cup on 11/6 lmk,” prompting an enthusiastic response from fans.
Commenters quickly expressed their eagerness, with one user humorously noting that their partner believes they have enough cups, while a second claimed that acquiring this new cup is a necessity, not merely a desire. Another commented, “If I don’t get one of these I’ll cry,” illustrating just how much anticipation surrounds the launch.
In addition to the Bearista Cold Cup, Starbucks revealed a range of festive merchandise, including a Holiday Puppy Tumbler, a Siren’s Tail Mug, and a special collaboration with Hello Kitty. Alongside these whimsical products, the coffee giant will introduce new seasonal cup designs meant to evoke feelings of warmth and togetherness. Options such as the Merry Apron Strings design will be available for both hot and cold drinks, along with the Coffeehouse Plaid designs.
Starbucks’ creative director, Kristy Cameron, shared insights about the holiday cup designs, describing the moment they arrive as “unmistakably magical,” marking the official beginning of the holiday season.
Starbucks is also unveiling a holiday menu filled with both new offerings and returning favorites. Popular drinks like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, and Sugar Cookie Latte will be back, while customers can look forward to new treats such as polar-bear-shaped cake pops and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread. The beloved Snowman Cookie will also make a return, satisfying seasonal cravings.
For Starbucks enthusiasts in New York and Chicago, exclusive offerings will be available at the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries, including a new Holiday Espresso Martini Flight and a shimmering Caramel Miso Hot Cocoa.
As excitement builds for the Glass Bearista Cold Cup and the holiday menu, Starbucks continues to foster a joyful atmosphere, ensuring that the festive spirit is alive and well among its customers.
