Forget the pumpkin-spiced lattes and the red holiday cups, right now it’s all about Starbuck’s Valentine’s Day-themed cups.
If you haven’t visited your local Starbucks recently, you may want to head on over now. Not only will you be able to enjoy some of their new beverages, but you can also stock up on their new cups. Win, win!
Here’s everything you need to know about their Valentine’s Day cups, as well as the new beverages that have just been introduced in 2021.
New Purple Cups on Sale
Sneaky social media users managed to spot the Valentine’s Day merchandise, specifically a purple grande coffee cup decorated with a red kiss, earlier this year. In fact, this new purple cup actually changes colors when hot liquid is inside.
However, the purple cup isn’t the only thing that has Starbucks loyalists excited.
Fans are super pumped to see the return of the 24-ounce matte black studded cold brew cup, which first hit shelves in 2019. It’s not only a great cup for cold brew, but many people use it as their everyday water cup.
The Valentine’s Day merchandise also includes a cold brew cup covered in kisses, a red studded cold brew cup, and a few mugs covered in hearts.
Where Can You Find These Items?
If you’re looking to find these Valentine’s Day-themed cups, your first stop may want to be Target. In fact, social media users found the merchandise there before it was discovered at standalone Starbucks.
But, as we get closer and closer to Valentine’s Day, there’s a good chance you’ll also be able to find them at your local Starbucks chain. Just keep your eyes peeled!
Watch Out For Resellers
Because this Valentine’s Day collection is so popular — and so difficult to find — some people are actually reselling popular items for upwards of $50!
In fact, one Twitter user revealed they haven’t been able to find the purple cup or matte black cold brew cup in stores, but they have spotted them on resale sites.
“Please restock the Valentine’s Day collection! I was only able to get my hands on the red one and now people are reselling the Lilac and matte black that I wanted for over $50 plus shipping… I need the 24oz ones! That’s how I track my water!” the user wrote to Starbucks.
New Drinks in 2021
And if new cups wasn’t enough to get you excited to visit your local Starbucks, the coffee company is also introducing new beverages for the winter season.
The first new beverage is the Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew. As you can imagine, it’s made with Starbucks Cold Brew, honey, and topped with almond milk. It’s a great drink for people who like their coffee to actually taste like coffee, but with a little bit of sweetness.
The second new drink is the Pistachio Latte. It is created like a normal latte, except that it has pistachio flavor and a salted brown buttery topping. If you’re a fan of pistachio ice cream (or just like trying new things), this may be an interesting beverage to try.
