Starbucks released its newest holiday cup this week, sparking frenzy among customers nationwide. The limited-edition Teddy Bear Cup features a cute bear in a festive sweater and quickly became the must-have collectible of the season.
Fans were seen camping out overnight and lining up before stores opened, hoping to secure the scarce cups. However, many locations received only a few units, leaving numerous customers frustrated and disappointed.
Lines wrapped around Starbucks stores in cities across the U.S., with some people waiting up to five hours. Many learned their store stocked less than 10 cups, leading to complaints:
“Why release something this limited if everyone wants one?”
This scarcity turned the cup into a valuable collector’s item and a lucrative resale product. Online listings show cups being sold for $150 or more.
The excitement escalated into conflicts at several locations. Even El Paso experienced disturbances as fans competed for the rare cups.
The limited availability of Starbucks' holiday Teddy Bear Cup has caused widespread customer frustration, viral social media moments, and resale hype, highlighting the intense demand for exclusive seasonal items.
