🎁 A Starbucks Tradition Grows Bigger

Red Cup Day has become a beloved annual tradition for Starbucks fans, and the company says it’s “giving away more cups than ever before” in 2025.

This event follows the recent frenzy over the viral Glass Bearista Cold Cup — a 20-ounce teddy bear-shaped collectible that sold out within hours, prompting Starbucks to issue an apology to disappointed fans.

A Starbucks spokesperson said, “The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations. We understand many customers were eager for the Bearista cup and apologize for any disappointment.”
