Which bear will you pull?

Aspen skis, Reiny binges holiday movies, Joy collects snow globes and wears one as her lid, and Bunny changes color when you pour in a cold drink. Goldie, the golden bear, is the long shot. Starbucks hasn’t shown her yet or published odds for any of them.

Will it sell out before you get one?

Expect it to. The original Bearista cup sold out in less than a day last year, according to USA Today, and Starbucks calls this its biggest Bearista drop yet. Miss it, and the original returns to select coffeehouses on Dec. 1, no blind box involved.

If you’d rather choose your bear’s look yourself, this teddy bear glass cup on Amazon comes with four swappable hat lids, from a Santa hat to a cowboy hat.
