  "account": "Starbucks has confirmed the return of the popular Bearista Glass Cold Cup for the 2026 holiday season, but with a few twists. Rather than launching the cup alongside their holiday menu on November 5, Starbucks has decided to stagger its release, offering two drops this year. The first drop will be on November 10, when they introduce the Glass Bearista Cold Cup - Surprise Box Edition, a mystery blind-box collection. The second drop is scheduled for December 1, when the classic Bearista Glass Cold Cup will officially return to select coffeehouses for a holiday restock.\n\nBoth drops will be available in limited quantities, so they're sure to be popular collector's items. However, given their limited availability, these cups are likely to sell out within just 30 minutes of opening. To secure one of these cups, it's recommended to target Starbucks kiosks inside grocery stores and big-box retailers, as these locations tend to receive independent stock shipments and experience less foot traffic than regular coffeehouses. While this tactic doesn't guarantee success, it's a strategy that might improve your chances of getting your hands on one of these highly sought-after holiday collectibles.",
