Starbucks has revealed that its Bearista cups have been restocked, after they sold out almost immediately following their launch in November.
The company said that the cups would be available to purchase again from Monday. "Your chance is in the Starbucks app. Tomorrow, 12/8," it wrote on Instagram on Sunday, accompanied by a video teaser.
Starbucks has not yet confirmed how many additional cups will be available to purchase or whether further restocks are planned. It is unclear whether in-store sales will resume or if availability will be limited exclusively to the online app.

What To Know
The glass cup, which costs $29.95, was launched in November as part of Starbuck's holiday collection. It is shaped like a bear, and features a green lid shaped like a hat, and a stripy straw.
The collection features a series of holiday-themed items, including tumblers, mugs, ornaments, and gift cards.
Many fans — some of whom camped outside Starbucks stores overnight — were left disappointed in November as the limited edition Bearista cup ran out quickly. Some customers claimed that Starbucks employees purchased the cups before they had a chance to enter stores.
Starbucks later told ABC News: "The excitement for our merchandise exceeded even our biggest expectations, and 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."

What People Are Saying
Under Starbucks’ Instagram post launching the cup in November, one fan commented: "So disappointed with this limited release and people reselling them online for a ridiculous price. Some of us work, went in before and tried to stand in line to watch them only have 1 or 2 and the employees get them."
Another fan wrote on TikTok: "We waited outside since 2.00 a.m. for the Starbucks bear cup, but the employees took them all before we could."
Starbucks said in a statement: "We understand many customers were excited about the Bearista cup and apologize for the disappointment this may have caused.
"We have more exciting merchandise coming this holiday season."
Starbucks says about the cup on its website: "From cold brew to an iced matcha latte, your drinks have never looked cuter. The Starbucks Bearista glass cold cup brings instant joy to every sip."
