Everyone’s Freaking Out Over Starbucks' New Bear Cup – But Can You Get It in the UK?
Starbucks has sent the internet buzzing with its newly released Bearista Cold Cup, part of the brand’s 2025 Christmas collection. The release sparked global curiosity, especially among UK fans eager to know if they can get their hands on it.
The Bearista Cold Cup Craze
The glass Bearista Cold Cup features a straw shaped like a teddy bear, wearing a green Starbucks beanie and showcasing the brand’s logo on its tummy. It’s priced at $43.95 in the United States.
“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.
The launch quickly went viral after its debut on Wednesday, with fans sharing excitement across social media.
Availability and Alternatives
Starbucks confirmed to The Tab that the Bearista Cold Cup is currently available only in the US, making it inaccessible for direct purchase in the UK. Enthusiastic collectors may resort to finding it on American resale platforms, though prices are expected to be high.
However, there’s a bit of holiday cheer for British buyers. Starbucks revealed that UK stores offer a charming alternative — the Brown Bear Mug, retailing for £13.
“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!” Starbucks told The Tab.
