This £23 Starbucks Bear Cup Sparked Fights in Stores

This £23 Starbucks Bear Cup Sparked Fights in Stores — And It's Already Sold Out

Starbucks' limited-edition £23 Bearista Cup caused chaos across their cafes, with shortages, fights, and soaring resale prices. Fans are left uncertain as no restock has been confirmed amid high holiday demand.

The Bearista Cup Launch

The Glass Bearista Cold Cup, launched on 6 November as part of Starbucks' 2025 holiday collection, quickly became a frenzy-inducing item. This 20-ounce glass cup is shaped like a teddy bear wearing a green knitted beanie, paired with a matching striped straw. Priced at £23 ($29.95), it instantly turned into a must-have collectible for the holiday season.

Customer Reactions and Shortages

Customers queued before dawn only to find that stores sold out within minutes of opening. The cup’s scarcity has led to chaotic scenes and a sharp rise in resale prices.

Possibility of Restock

Based on previous Starbucks holiday product launches, there is a chance for a small, unannounced restock later in the season. Past items like festive tumblers and mugs have occasionally returned in limited quantities and without official announcements.

Industry observers say, "These secondary allocations tend to be limited and distributed unevenly, suggesting that any potential return of the Bearista cup would likely be sporadic and dependent on regional store supply rather than a widespread release."

Fans hoping for more Bearista Cups should stay alert but prepare for limited availability.

Author’s Summary

The £23 Starbucks Bearista Cup sparked frenzy and sold out instantly, with only a small, uncertain chance of a limited restock later this holiday season.
