This £23 Starbucks Bear Cup Sparked Fights in Stores — And It's Already Sold Out
Starbucks' limited-edition £23 Bearista Cup has caused chaos in stores, leading to shortages, fights, and skyrocketing resale prices. Despite high demand during the holiday season, no restock has been confirmed, leaving fans uncertain.
Launch and Design
Released on 6 November as part of Starbucks' 2025 holiday collection, the Glass Bearista Cold Cup is a 20-ounce glass vessel shaped like a teddy bear. It features a green knitted beanie and a matching striped straw, quickly becoming a sought-after holiday collectible.
Customer Reactions and Availability
- Customers queued before dawn only to find the cups sold out within minutes of store opening.
- The cup, priced at £23 ($29.95), sparked frenzy and even conflicts in some locations.
Potential Restock
Based on past Starbucks holiday merchandise trends, a small, unannounced restock of the Bearista cup might be possible later in the season.
"In previous years, items such as festive tumblers and seasonal mugs occasionally reappeared in select stores weeks after the initial launch, often without a formal announcement."
Industry experts note these secondary releases are usually limited and unevenly distributed, meaning any return of the Bearista cup would likely be region-specific and sporadic rather than a full-scale restock.
Author’s Summary
The limited-edition Starbucks Bearista Cup became an instant holiday hit, causing store chaos and sold-out status, with only a remote chance of a small restock later this season.
