The Starbucks bear cup is getting a cake pop counterpart. Apparently, being adorable drinkware was only the beginning.
The new Bearista Cake Pop arrives November 5, 2026, for a limited time. Starbucks says it was inspired by the iconic Bearista Glass Cold Cup.
The little bear is part of the holiday food lineup
In Starbucks’ supplied preview photo, the bear cake pop wears a little green hat. It sits alongside the returning Snowman Cookie, Cranberry Bliss Bar and Sugar Plum Cheese Danish.
The bear is the new addition to that pastry lineup. Starbucks’ October 5 announcement doesn’t specify the cake pop’s flavor or price, so we’re keeping those open rather than borrowing details from another cake pop.
The cake pop and glass cup have different schedules
The cake pop has a November 5 date. The original Bearista Glass Cold Cup is also confirmed to return this holiday season, but Starbucks says its timing will be announced later.
That means the cake pop announcement isn’t a release date for the glass bear cup. Very cute bear news, two different things to put on the calendar.
