Starbucks has caused a stir online by releasing its charming Bearista Cold Cup, sparking curiosity about its availability in the UK. This new piece of merchandise launched on Wednesday as part of the Christmas collection is irresistibly cute.
The cup is made of glass with a straw shaped like a teddy bear, adorned with a green Starbucks beanie and the Starbucks logo on its belly. It retails for $43.95 in the US.
“From cold brew to an iced matcha latte, your drinks have never looked cuter. The Starbucks Bearista glass cold cup brings instant joy to every sip,” Starbucks said.
Starbucks confirmed to The Tab that the Bearista Cold Cup is [translate:exclusive to the US at this time], so it will not be officially available in the UK. The only option for UK customers is to purchase it from sellers in America and have it shipped, likely at a premium price on platforms like eBay.
There is a UK option, however. Starbucks stated: [translate:Currently, we do have the adorable Brown Bear Mug in the UK which we think is perfect for every cosy moment by the fire. We also have a wider range of festive merch in the UK that is perfect for the Holidays!]
The Brown Bear Mug is priced at £13 and offers a cozy alternative for the holiday season.
Summary: Starbucks’ new Bearista Cold Cup has fans excited but remains a US exclusive; UK customers can enjoy the charming Brown Bear Mug as a festive alternative.
