Starbucks is kicking off the spooky season early with a new Halloween-themed drinkware collection, available starting September 17 at participating U.S. stores. The collection offers a range of ghostly cups and mugs for a limited time, adding festive flair to customers' daily coffee runs.
Starbucks Unveils Halloween-Themed Drinkware Collection, Available Starting September 17 for a Limited Time
As fall approaches, Starbucks is preparing to embrace the spooky season despite Halloween being more than a month away. While some stores, like Aldi, have started rolling out their seasonal items early, Starbucks is kicking off its Halloween-inspired collection this month. In an email shared with Mashed, the coffee giant has revealed a sneak peek of its new drinkware lineup on Friday the 13th—an apt choice for those who appreciate the eerie date. However, some may question whether it’s too soon to begin celebrating Halloween.
Whether or not Halloween belongs strictly in October, Starbucks customers can get their hands on the seasonal drinkware starting September 17 at participating U.S. stores. The collection will be available for a limited time while supplies last, adding a ghostly touch to daily coffee routines.
The new drinkware offers a festive upgrade for those who enjoy cold brews or pumpkin spice lattes. Customers bringing a clean, reusable cup will receive a $0.10 discount, and Starbucks Rewards members can earn 25 extra Stars for using sustainable options.
Starbucks' Halloween Collection Features Glow-in-the-Dark Cups, Skull Mugs, and More Spooky Drinkware
The Halloween collection features an array of spooky-themed items, including the Purple Potion Glow-in-the-Dark Cold Cup, available in 16- and 24-ounce sizes, and a keychain version. For those seeking a darker vibe, the Obsidian Ooze Cold Cup offers a sleek, all-black design for iced drinks. Hot beverage fans can enjoy the Iridescent Luster Skull Mug, while a six-pack of Glow-in-the-Dark Jack O' Lantern Hot Cups adds a playful twist to the collection.
The lineup includes the Extraterrestrial Cold Cup with a Spaceship Straw Topper and the Multicolor Jack O' Lantern Tumbler. Availability will vary by location, including Starbucks locations within grocery stores, airports, and other licensed venues, so it’s best to call ahead if you're after a specific item.
