Starbucks has officially confirmed that the viral Bearista cup is returning through the Merrython holiday sweepstakes. The cup blew up the first time it appeared and became one of the most shared Starbucks items online. Now fans get another chance to grab it, this time by entering the seasonal giveaway.

Starbucks knows exactly how much hype the cup created. Bringing it back feels like a direct nod to everyone who posted pictures and memes the last time.

How To Get The Bear

Anyone who wants the Bearista cup has to enter the Merrython sweepstakes through the Starbucks app or website. The cup is one of the highlight prizes, with several other holiday rewards mixed in. It is the kind of promo that keeps people opening the app during winter, and Starbucks is clearly leaning into that momentum. If you missed the cup last time, this is the easiest way to take another shot at it without paying wild resale prices.

This is the first Starbucks cup I can’t resist. I’ll be there 🐻

The Bearista cup became popular fast because it felt fun and shareable. It sparked jokes and full photo dumps across social media. The return taps straight into that same energy and shows that Starbucks understands how quickly its fanbase can turn a small item into a full trend.
