Starbucks is already ushering in the holiday season.
From the return of the Caramel Brulée Latte to the beloved Bearista Glass Cold Cup, the coffeehouse chain is gearing up for the wintertime with a new and improved lineup chock-full of drinks, treats and limited-edition merchandise, including a Glass Christmas Tree Cold Cup.
The cold cups are part of four new collections: Holiday Village, Peppermint Mocha, Bearista and Winter Wonderland. These collections are slated for release Nov. 5, along with the rest of the wintertime lineup.
The winter holiday menu announcement comes about two weeks after the coffee chain closed approximately 250 locations across North America. In a public letter, Starbucks Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams said the closures
were due to store underperformance.
Here is what to know ahead of Starbucks' winter holiday merch drop, including how to get a Glass Christmas Tree Cold Cup.
How to get Starbucks’ cute new glass Christmas tree cup
The Glass Christmas Tree Cold Cup, like most of Starbucks' winter holiday merch, will be available for purchase on Nov. 5.
Retailing for $32.95, the cold cup is part of Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha Collection, which "pairs retro charm with modern designs across cold cups, tumblers and espresso cups." An Owala Shimmer Water Bottle ($32.95) was listed alongside the cold cup.
Bearista Glass Cold Cup returning alongside other Bearista items
The Bearista Glass Cold Cup will make its long-awaited return in the coming months, and because Starbucks seems intent on capitalizing on the craze that ensued last year, the company is also releasing other Bearista-themed items.
From Bearista-adorned drinkware to a collectible plush keychain, Starbucks is going full "Bearista" with this collection, which includes:
- Bearista Plush Bag Charm ($14.95)
- Bearista Mug ($19.95)
- Bearista Stainless Steel Cold Cup ($27.95)
- Owala Bearista Water Bottle ($34.95)
Starbucks has not yet announced when the Bearista cup, a teddy bear-shaped glass cup complete with a green Starbucks stocking cap and matching straw, will be available for purchase. Last year, the cups sold for about $30 and, according to Starbucks, sold out in less than a day.

Starbucks' Holiday Village Collection celebrates the chain's Seattle roots, while the Winter Wonderland Collection pays homage to the season with festive keepsakes such as mugs, snow globes and ornaments.
