Starbucks fans, have we got some bear-y interesting news for you! As seen on TikTok, Starbucks now apparently has a limited-edition bear-shaped cup to house your daily Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. The puns on the viral TikTok abound, with many calling this the Starbucks "Bearista" cup. We wouldn't be surprised if these cups became a collectors' item à la McDonald's Disney glasses or Beanie Babies.
Reminiscent of those classic bear-shaped honey bottles you might have in your pantry, the Starbucks Bearista Cup is, at the moment, exclusive to stores in South Korea, where much of the cutest Starbucks merch is sold (see also their dreamy Sakura collection from last year). According to Xiara Mar Franco, who posted the original TikTok, the bear-shaped cups are made of glass and easy to clean. She found hers at a Korean Starbucks store.
Not gonna lie, we here at Delish need to get our paws on one of these cups ASAP, especially since commenters on the viral TikTok have also claimed that the bear cups often come with seasonal and regional hats, like sombreros, camping-ready bucket hats, and summery straw hats. This new release is outfitted with a Starbucks-green knitted beanie for fall.
We certainly hope that these adorably bear-shaped cup will migrate to U.S. Starbucks locations soon, ideally before the bears in question need to hibernate and take their long winters' nap. For now, you can try to track down your own bear cup on eBay, where the newest release is going for around $60.
