Starbucks enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the release of the brand’s latest novelty item, the Glass Bearista Cold Cup. Scheduled to hit stores on November 6, this bear-shaped cup has already captured the hearts of many fans before its official launch. Alongside the announcement of the holiday menu making its debut on the same day, Starbucks unveiled the Glass Bearista Cold Cup, featuring a bear-shaped design complete with an endearing green beanie cap and the iconic Starbucks logo displayed on its belly. The cup also comes with a green and white straw.
The reveal of the Glass Bearista Cold Cup was met with great enthusiasm as Starbucks showcased the adorable cup in an Instagram Reel, showcasing a faceless barista preparing an iced coffee inside the bear-shaped cup set to cheerful holiday music. Fans immediately expressed their excitement in the comments section, with one user exclaiming, “My husband says I don’t need more cups… but he is most definitely wrong,” showcasing the anticipation surrounding the new product. Another fan insisted, “It’s not a want, it’s a need,” while a third stated, “If I don’t get one of these I’ll cry.”
In addition to the Glass Bearista Cold Cup, Starbucks has also introduced other festive merchandise such as the Holiday Puppy Tumbler, Siren’s Tail Mug, and a limited-edition collaboration with Hello Kitty. The excitement doesn’t stop there, as Starbucks will be launching new holiday cup designs for both hot and cold beverages, designed to evoke feelings of warmth, tradition, and togetherness. The Merry Apron Strings and Coffeehouse Plaid options will be available for customers to enjoy during the holiday season.
Starbucks Creative Director, Kristy Cameron, expressed the magical experience of unveiling the holiday cups, stating, “There’s something unmistakably magical about that moment the cups arrive–it’s as if the season officially begins.” The holiday menu for 2025 is filled with new and returning treats for customers to indulge in, including favourites like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Sugar Cookie Latte, and the Iced Gingerbread Chai. Additionally, the popular Snowman Cookie will be making a comeback, along with new offerings such as polar bear-shaped cake pops and Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread.
