Starbucks autumn Bearista Blind Boxes
Another item which has coffee lovers in a tizz is the Autumn Keychain Bearista Blind Boxes.
Each adorable box features a ‘spooky’ Starbucks bear wearing a cutesy Halloween costume.
There are five Bearista keychains to collect, including Jack O’Lantern, a mini bear wearing a pumpkin-inspired getup.
The second, known as Susie Spookes, is a little bear wearing a ghost costume and holding a trick or treat purse.
Winnie Whiskers, who is ‘putting her best paw forward this Halloween’, is dressed up as a black cat.
Benny Brewster is designed to appeal to cold-weather warriors. He is dressed in an orange beanie and matching scarf combination.
Excitingly, there is a fifth and final ‘mystery’ Bearista Buddies to collect.
The secret, spooky character resembles a bat and has a one in 100 chance of being picked up in-store.
The charming collectables are available in store now while stocks last.
Snoopy Bearista Cup coming soon
Soon, Starbucks customers in Europe and the United States will be able to pick up a Snoopy version of the viral Bearista Cup for $39.95.
The Peanuts collaboration comes hot on the heels of the original Bearista Cup selling out within minutes.
Alternative models, including the World Cup and Pink Cup, were equally in demand.
The Starbucks x Snoopy cold cup, inspired by It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, has an orange, squash-coloured hat, a classic scarf in Starbucks green, and a Woodstock straw topper.
Speaking about the Peanuts collaboration, Dana Pellicano, SVP of Global Product Experience at Starbucks, said: “The return of Pumpkin Spice Latte and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown are both enduring signs that fall has arrived.
“This collaboration brings those traditions together in a collection designed to celebrate the joy of the season, and we’re excited to share it with our customers. The Snoopy Glass Cold Cup is a special addition to the collection, one that is sure to become a cherished keepsake for Starbucks and Peanuts fans alike.”
Her Campus reported that he cups will be available starting 15 September while supplies last.
Participating stores will be dotted across the US, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific markets.
