Starbucks’ holiday menu includes $30 “bearista” mug already reselling on eBay for $300
Starbucks recently unveiled its highly anticipated 2025 holiday menu, featuring a range of both classic and new flavored drinks. Among the lineup is a standout item that has captured the attention of coffee enthusiasts worldwide: the $30 “bearista” mug. This unique glass cup, designed to resemble a honey bear container, comes topped with a charming green silicone beanie.
The bearista mug made its debut on Thursday alongside the launch of Starbucks’ holiday menu, and it quickly became a hot commodity. Despite the company’s efforts to stock more bear-shaped mugs than any other holiday merchandise item this season, they sold out in a flash. Resale platforms like eBay are now seeing listings for the coveted mugs priced at $150 to $400, with some sellers asking as much as $300 each.
Social media was abuzz with videos and posts from customers who lined up early to snag a bearista mug, only to find them sold out before they could make a purchase. Some Starbucks locations reportedly limited purchases to one mug per customer, leading to disappointment for those who missed out. Starbucks acknowledged the high demand for the bearista cups and expressed regret for any inconvenience caused by the limited availability.
As for the rest of Starbucks’ holiday menu, customers can look forward to seasonal favorites like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulee Latte, and Iced Sugar Cookie Latte. Additionally, new offerings such as the Iced Gingerbread Chai and Iced Sugar Cookie Breve are set to delight taste buds. The company plans to bring back popular drinks like the Chestnut Praline Latte and Eggnog Latte later in the season, although specific dates have not been announced.
In addition to the festive beverages, Starbucks is introducing a range of holiday cold foams to enhance cold coffee drinks. Flavors like Gingerbread Cream Cold Foam, Peppermint Chocolate Cream Cold Foam, Sugar Cookie Cream Cold Foam, and Caramel Brulee Cream Cold Foam will add a touch of seasonal cheer to your favorite caffeinated creations.
To complement the drink offerings, Starbucks is also rolling out a selection of new and returning bakery items for the holidays. Highlights include a Cinnamon Pull-Apart Pastry, Polar Bear Cake Pop, Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar, and Sugar Plum Cream Cheese Danish. These delectable treats are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth during the holiday season.
As Starbucks continues to spread holiday cheer with its festive menu and merchandise, fans eagerly await any updates on the availability of the popular bearista mugs. Stay tuned for more news on Starbucks’ holiday offerings and be sure to visit your nearest Starbucks location to experience the magic of the season in a cup.
