The last few months of the year are seriously the BEST time to be a Starbucks drinker.
Which holiday cup design is your favorite?
From Pumpkin Spice Lattes to the arrival of all things peppermint and the holiday cups, it’s just the perfect season to cozy up in a coffee shop with something warm to drink. And if you’re a Starbucks collector, you’re going to be HYPED about what was just announced for the upcoming holidays!
Starting on November 10th, Starbucks is launching a SURPRISE collection of Bearista Glass Cold Cups! These Bearista cups have been wildly popular, and now you can purchase the Surprise Box Edition, with a mystery cup inside each box. They’re going to be available in limited quantities across the U.S. locations.

But that’s not all! The original Bearista Glass Cold Cup is back! It’s returning to select coffeehouses on December 1st, iconic green hat and all. It’s going to be available while supplies last, so you’ll want to hurry if you didn’t snag one the first time around.

These adorable Bearista cups first released in 2025 and went mega-viral, selling out at locations all over the U.S., with folks lining up in the early hours of the morning before Starbucks opened to snag one. They made a brief return in the summer of 2026 with a special edition pink version. Once again, fans were absolutely OBSESSED.

But the cups aren’t the only way you can celebrate your love for the Bearista this year. Starbucks is launching its holiday merchandise starting November 5th, and there’s an entire Bearista collection! Starbucks says, “An icon since the first plush bears were introduced in Starbucks coffeehouses in 1997, the Starbucks Bearista is back with this reimagined collection. Featuring Bearista-adorned drinkware, collectible plush keychain and coordinated accessories, each piece captures the charm and nostalgia of the fan-favorite bear in signature Starbucks green.”

Ever since it was announced that the Bearista would be getting its own holiday collection and surprise box line, the buzz has been high on social media, with fans speculating what the mystery designs could be. If you’re going to try and snag one of these, you’re probably going to have to plan in advance. Last year’s release saw people lining up outside of Starbucks locations as early as 3 AM to snag the coveted cups. And if our time covering merchandise in theme parks has told us anything, it’s that folks LOVE a mystery box item!

But there’s one more important thing…the Starbucks holiday red cups return on November 17th! Mark your calendars for a festive and fun beverage on your way to work, during your time running errands, or just because. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
