Starbucks launched its newest holiday cup, featuring a cozy teddy bear in a holiday sweater, sparking major excitement and chaos nationwide. Fans eagerly camped out overnight to secure the collectible item, which became available this week.
Many Starbucks locations received only a small number of the cups, some fewer than ten, leaving numerous customers disappointed and frustrated.
“Why release something this limited if everyone wants one?”
Lines formed early, often wrapping around stores before opening hours, with some customers waiting up to five hours for a chance to buy the cup.
The cup has quickly become a coveted collector's item and a lucrative resale opportunity, with prices reaching $150 or more online. The limited availability and high demand have led to tense situations, including fights breaking out at several Starbucks locations, including in El Paso.
Starbucks’ limited-edition Teddy Bear Cup has sparked a frenzy among holiday fans, leading to long waits, resale booms, and even conflicts over the scarce collectible.
