Starbucks just released its newest holiday cup, sparking excitement and chaos among customers nationwide. The latest collectible, a Teddy Bear Cup featuring a cozy bear in a holiday sweater, launched this week, prompting fans to camp out overnight in hopes of securing one.
However, many Starbucks stores received only a few cups, leaving numerous customers disappointed and frustrated. In several cities across the U.S., lines formed hours before opening, with some people waiting up to five hours only to learn their location had fewer than 10 cups available.
“Why release something this limited if everyone wants one?”
The cup's scarcity quickly turned it into a highly sought-after collector’s item and a lucrative resale opportunity. Online listings have prices soaring above $150. The frenzy escalated when fights broke out at various Starbucks stores, including incidents in El Paso.
“The Teddy Bear Cup is causing major chaos across the country.”
Starbucks’ limited Teddy Bear Cup has ignited a buying frenzy, leading to long waits, frustrations, and a booming resale market fueled by its scarcity.
