On Nov. 6, the coffee chain released its 2025 holiday menu and merchandise, including the already-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 has 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.

After fans began expressing disappointment over the festive fiasco, Starbucks issued a public apology in a statement to The Post about the supply shortage.

“The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations,” a Starbucks spokesperson told us. “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.”

Y’all scoff, but people were doing this over peel off McDonalds cup stickers during the Monopoly promotion 30 years ago.

Forced apologies are such bullshite, they are not sincere, and the fact that people demand these blows my mind, they mean absolutely nothing

Unless you're traveling or something, I don't understand how anyone can justify buying coffee from Starbucks or any other overpriced place.

But then again, I've never doordashed and paid $40 for a $9 Taco Bell meal.

Remember when society had this idea called personal responsibility?

Seems to be a dead concept.

Dark hair, blue eyes?

Deadly combo. A girl would have to be pretty overweight and/or just downright gross for me to pass.
