Here’s Where You Can Get A Starbucks Bearista Cup Dupe

If you somehow hibernated through the great Starbucks Bearista Cup debacle of 2025, Starbucks dropped these bear-shaped coffee cups complete with a green hat and green striped straw. It was so cute that people were fighting over it and complaining about Starbucks’ employees swiping up the cups before the store even opened, leaving most people without this Bearista Cup. With no restock in sight before the holidays, and resellers getting out of control with their prices, you might be in the market for a beary cute Starbucks bearista cup dupe. And you’ve definitely got a few options, ranging from super accurate to more creative takes on the Bearista Cup. But beware the bear, because some of the dupes are looking a little suspicious.

One of your better options for an accurate dupe is Walmart, who’s selling a bear cup that looks pretty much identical minus the Starbucks logos (and I mean, this is about the bear, so does the logo even matter?), complete with the green hat and striped straw. Their cup is $23.19, or, if you’re looking to match with a friend, they have a two-pack for $40.89.

Amazon

Amazon has a few options, some a little more…legitmate than others. A lot of the listings look like the cup sans logos, including the 2025 New Bear Straw Cup and the Bidobibo Glass Bear Cup but bear in mind that none of them have any reviews. Maybe that’s because they’re brand new, or maybe that’s because they’re a scam, as there have been some reports of order cancellations.

If you’re okay with not having a super close dupe, and are instead happy with any kind of bear cup, then the Kawaii Bear Sippy Cup (Serious version) is the right choice for you as it actually has reviews and still captures the cuteness of the original Bearista cup. This guy doesn’t have a hat, but he does have a light blue lid and striped straw and a sweet face. You can pick this cup up for $21.99. Or, if you don’t mind a more plain look, there’s also the Cocktail Glass Cartoon Bear Shaped Wine Glass, which is just the shape of a bear without the sticker eyes or logo and will run you $11.99.

Homemade

If you’re crafty, then you could certainly take the homemade option, as many on the internet are doing with various bear-shaped containers they’ve found.

T.J. Maxx apparently has a peppermint candy jar in the shape of a bear, and HomeGoods has a similar one full of chocolates. Both of these would be easy to empty and stick a straw into. If you’re looking for something really big, there’s an animal crackers container that has your name on it. 

Plenty of honey companies sell their honey in bear-shaped jars, and all you have to do is empty one out (don’t waste the honey though!) and serve your beverage of choice in it. Pop a small straw in the squeeze hole and you’re good to go. 

It’s basically the same thing, right? Maybe not quite, but it’s definitely an option — a cheaper, more environmentally friendly option.
