In a charming celebration of autumn, Starbucks has announced a new collection of limited-edition merchandise to honour the 60th anniversary of the beloved animated special, *It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown*. This exciting collaboration with the Peanuts franchise includes a range of ten unique items, all set to be available in-store starting from 15 September.
The collection aims to evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, drawing on the entwined history that both Starbucks and the Peanuts characters share with the season. A spokesperson for the coffee giant stated that the launch encapsulates “the warmth, nostalgia and traditions that have made both brands a part of autumn for decades.”
Among the collection, one item is generating particular buzz: the Snoopy Glass Cold Cup. Priced at £39.95, this collectible is reminiscent of the Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup, which gained immense popularity when released in late 2022. The Snoopy cup features an adjustable straw topped with Woodstock and comes complete with a pumpkin-coloured hat and green scarf, appealing to fans of all ages. Due to high demand, purchases will be limited to two units per customer.
Other noteworthy items in this exclusive range include a stainless steel cold cup adorned with Lucy and Snoopy, retailing for £32.95, and a Great Pumpkin tumbler, also available for £32.95, decorated with whimsical illustrations of Snoopy and Woodstock. For die-hard fans, there is a 24-ounce cold cup featuring various autumn-themed imagery alongside the iconic characters, priced at £27.95, as well as a charming 14-ounce ceramic mug that promises a delightful surprise with every sip at £29.95.
Additionally, the collection features a 16-ounce stainless steel tumbler embellished with a Woodstock charm and a dancing Snoopy, priced at £32.95. Collectors will also be pleased to find a plush Snoopy toy for £34.95, a bag charm for £16.95, a mini tote for £29.95, and an enamel pin set for £14.95.
Starbucks has a history of crafting appealing seasonal merchandise, and this latest initiative arrives shortly after the company unveiled its autumn menu. This year’s pumpkin-themed offerings include new items such as the Iced Pumpkin Cream Shaken Espresso, Pumpkin Spice Chai, and the Iced Pumpkin Cream Matcha. Classic favourites, like the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, have also made a return, alongside pecan-flavoured beverages and delightful banana-bread-inspired concoctions.
Earlier this month, Starbucks enlisted the help of culinary mogul Martha Stewart and actor Belmont Cameli from *Off Campus* to promote the much-loved Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). The annual ritual of the PSL’s return has become synonymous with the onset of autumn for many coffee enthusiasts.
Starbucks first introduced the Bearista Cold Cup as part of its holiday merchandise line-up which debuted in November 2022. The cup, featuring a beanie-clad bear, quickly sold out following overwhelming consumer interest. The previous summer, the company brought back critter-shaped cups in a refreshed colour scheme as part of its Pink Drink merchandise, further demonstrating its savvy marketing strategies aimed at capitalising on seasonal trends.
As the days grow shorter and cooler, Starbucks’ latest Peanuts collection brings a sense of joy and nostalgia to fans of all ages. And with its carefully curated range of products, the collaboration not only celebrates a classic animated story but also enhances the traditional autumn experience at Starbucks locations around the UK. Customers are encouraged to act quickly, as merchandise will be available only while stocks last, making this collection a sought-after addition to any fall enthusiast’s collection.
