Starbucks is giving fans another shot at getting the viral Bearista cup.
The coffee giant teased in an Instagram post that customers could snag the beary popular cold cup on Monday, Dec. 8 — but they didn’t give many details.
“Your chance is in the Starbucks app. Tomorrow, 12/8,” the chain said in the caption of the video, which was posted on Sunday, Dec. 7.
As of 9:30 a.m. ET on Dec. 8, no further information about the cup is available on the Starbucks app.
While fans in the comments section expressed their excitement toward the return of the cup, many also shared their frustration over the lack of information, as well as the fact that nothing has been added to the app — fueling speculation that fans have overloaded Starbucks’ servers.
“Has anyone checked the app cause I don’t see nothing yet,” one person wrote with a crying emoji.
“So…. We still waiting,” another commented.
“Come context would be nice,” someone snarked.
“FIX YOUR APP!!!!! IT IS NOT WORKING,” a user yelled.
“Still nothing in the app and went in store today. It’s 9 am so not sure if this is actually happening,” another shared.
It’s currently unclear if Starbucks is simply restocking the Bearista Cold Cup or if it’s part of a larger promotion, such as acting as a prize for the Starbucks for Life Merrython, which Rewards Members can start to play on Dec. 8.
However, like information about the Bearista cup, the game has yet to appear on the Starbucks app.
Newsweek reported that 17,000 Bearista cups will be available to win through the Starbucks Rewards instant-win promotion, limited to one per person.
The Post has reached out to Starbucks for clarification.
On Nov. 6, the coffee chain released its 2025 holiday menu and merchandise, which included the viral Glass Starbucks Bearista Cold Cup, a 20-ounce vessel shaped like a teddy bear wearing a Starbucks green knitted beanie priced at $29.95.
The novelty cup caused quite the commotion, with many customers unable to get their hands on one and some even starting fights over them, including one brawl that made the news in Houston.
Resale sites started to see the emergence of the limited-edition cup as well. As of today, StockX is selling the Bearista cup for $234, while there are listings on eBay for as high as $94K and as low as $28.
After fans began expressing disappointment over the festive fiasco, Starbucks was forced to issue a public apology about the supply shortage.
“The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations,” a Starbucks spokesperson told The Post in a statement at the time. “Despite shipping more Bearista cups to coffeehouses than almost any other merchandise item this holiday season, the Bearista cup and some other items sold out fast.”
They added, “We understand many customers were excited about the Bearista cup and apologize for the disappointment this may have caused.”
