Starbucks has finally spilled the beans on its mystery box collection.
On November 9, the colossal coffee chain announced that its Bearista Glass Cold Cup – Surprise Box Edition would be released on Tuesday, November 10 in select stores.
Hidden inside each surprise box is one of five seasonal Bearista characters: Reiny, Joy, Aspen, Bunny and a rare mystery bear, Goldie, who has not yet been revealed.
Each Bearista Cold Cup is made of hand-blown glass and comes with a personality card that shares their “vibe, holiday tradition and signature Starbucks drink order” for $39.95.
Customers can purchase up to two Bearista Surprise Boxes in-store, hoping to avoid the melee from previous drops, but probably not.
For those who simply can’t wait until tomorrow, a limited quantity will be available exclusively to Starbucks Rewards Reserve members on the Starbucks store starting November 9 at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST. Each member can only purchase one.
Additionally, starting November 10, the Starbucks store opens its doors to all customers, featuring Bearista holiday apparel including hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts.
This cast of Bearista characters joins the Soccer Bearista, Pink Bearista, and Snoopy Glass Cold Cup introduced earlier this year.
Here’s a look at all the new Bearista models:
Aspen: the skiing bear Bearista
This Bearista is an “alpine adventurer” who is interested in sunrise ski slopes and lodge stays.
Reiny: the reindeer bear Bearista
This Bearista is a “dazzler” who loves watching classic holiday movies like “Home Alone.”
Bunny: Bearista from the Snow Rabbit
This Bearista is a “winter wanderer” who loves walks in the snow and changes color when filled with cold drinks.
Joy: the Bearista bear who skates on ice
Joy is a “whimsical winter dreamer” who loves collecting snow globes, including on her noggin.
Goldie: the golden Bearista bear
The luckiest box openers this week might find Goldie, the rarest Bearista of the bunch.
Starbucks Holiday Slate
Starbucks’ holiday season is in full swing: On November 5, the chain launched its Christmas cups in stores – including, for the first time, a seasonal puppy cup – alongside its Christmas menu.
This season brings a trio of new drinks: the Tiramisu Velvet Latte, Tiramisu Velvet Cold Brew, and Apple Pomegranate Refreshers, as well as returning favorites like the Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, and Sugar Cookie Latte.
Red Cup Day returns on Tuesday, November 17, when customers can take home a reusable holiday cup (design TBD) with the purchase of a holiday beverage.
Then, on Tuesday, December 1, the original Bearista Glass Cold Cup will return to cafes, while supplies last.
Also on December 1, Starbucks introduces three new Snowcap Marshmallow drinks, available hot or iced: Snowcap Marshmallow Mocha, Snowcap Marshmallow Matcha and Snowcap Marshmallow Hot Chocolate. At the same time, a creamy cold mousse with melted marshmallow will join Starbucks’ cold mousse lineup for the holidays.
And finally, on December 17, the Starbucks Merry Berry Frappuccino arrives, topped with white chocolate mocha sauce, strawberry puree, and raspberry syrup, and topped with whipped cream and an all-new vanilla red bow cookie.
