**Update, November 9, 2026:** Starbucks has now confirmed the price and the characters. Each Bearista Glass Cold Cup in the Surprise Box costs **$39.95**, the box holds one of five bears, and coffeehouses will sell you up to two boxes. We've rewritten this post around the confirmed details.

Starbucks' [November 9, 2026 press release](https://about.starbucks.com/press/2026/starbucks-launches-new-bearista-glass-cold-cup-surprise-box-collection-with-characters-including-rare-golden-bearista/?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) says the limited-edition Bearista Glass Cold Cup, Surprise Box Edition, arrived at select coffeehouses globally on **Tuesday, November 10, 2026**, while supplies last. Each cup is hand-blown glass and costs **$39.95**.

## What's in the box

Each Surprise Box hides one of five holiday Bearista characters. Starbucks describes them this way:

- **Aspen, the Skiing Bearista Bear:** "all about sunrise ski runs and lodge hangs."
- **Reiny, the Reindeer Bearista Bear:** loves "settling in to watch classic holiday movies."
- **Bunny, the Snow Bunny Bearista Bear:** changes color with cold drinks, the only bear Starbucks describes that way.
- **Joy, the Ice Skating Bearista Bear:** a winter dreamer who curates "the ultimate snow globe collection."
- **Goldie, the Golden Bearista Bear:** "the rarest Bearista of the bunch." Starbucks hasn't published odds.

Every cup comes with a personality card listing the bear's holiday tradition and its signature Starbucks drink order.

## The rules: limits and online access

- **In coffeehouses:** up to **two** Surprise Boxes per customer, while supplies last.
- **Online:** Starbucks said a limited quantity would go to **Starbucks Rewards Reserve members** on the Starbucks Shop starting **November 9, 2026, at 1pm ET (noon CT)**, one per member.
- **Starbucks Shop opened to everyone on November 10, 2026**, with holiday Bearista hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts. The release didn't say whether Surprise Boxes would be sold online to non-Reserve members.

## The math on a blind box

At $39.95, two boxes cost **$79.90** before tax, and Starbucks doesn't promise two different bears. With five characters and Goldie described as the rare one, you can't buy your way to a specific bear in a store. If you want one particular character, or you want to see what you're paying for first, a blind box is the wrong buy.

It's a good fit if:

- you enjoy the reveal and are happy with any of the four regular bears
- you're gifting a Starbucks fan who collects
- you want Bunny's color change, and you're fine with taking your chances on getting her

Skip it if:

- you'd be disappointed by a duplicate
- you need a commuter cup. It's glass, so it's less forgiving in a tote bag than a stainless tumbler.

Set your walk-away number before you go, and skip resale markups if the fun is the object, not the hunt.

## The other dates to keep straight

- **December 1, 2026:** Starbucks' [October 26 announcement](https://about.starbucks.com/press/2026/mark-your-calendars-starbucks-bearista-glass-cold-cups-are-returning-with-a-twist/?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) says the original green-hat glass Bearista returns to select coffeehouses, while supplies last. That's the one to wait for if you want the known design and not a surprise.
- **Red Cup Day:** [USA Today reports](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2026/10/26/starbucks-red-cup-day-2026-bearista-cups-return/92382287007/?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) it falls on Tuesday, November 17, 2026\. It's a separate promotion from the Surprise Box drop.

Use the [Starbucks store locator](https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) to find nearby coffeehouses, and call ahead before you go: the boxes launched November 10, 2026 at "select" stores only, while supplies last, so not every location got them and some may have sold out.
