Starbucks Japan built its winter drinkware around two soft colors and a Stanley bottle. The collection is called Brighten Up Your Days. It runs six pieces in pale white and mint green: a Stanley bottle, two cold cups, a to-go tumbler, a steel mug, and a glass mug with glitter in its base. The set is on sale now in Japan, in stores and online, and nowhere else.
Forget the red cups for a second. Every piece here skips the holiday noise.
Each one works in colors you could carry into March, which is the whole pitch: winter gear that does not expire with the season, and Starbucks describes the set as drinkware that blends into any scene and puts a soft light on winter days. White bodies do the quiet work, and mint shows up where your hand lands: lids, handles, straws, and the Siren.
A Stanley bottle leads the set
First in line is the Stanley Stainless Steel Bottle in Pale White, a 473 ml bottle with a handle built into the lid and the co-brand printed down the body.
Starbucks rates it at six hours of heat retention at or above 136°F and six hours of cold at or below 46°F.
Sizing runs tall and narrow. The bottle stands 22.6 cm high, about nine inches, with a 0.5 liter actual capacity behind the 473 ml rating and a brushed steel band between the body and the mint lid. It is the priciest piece in the set at about $40, and the one Starbucks Japan features. Japan-only Starbucks and Stanley gear moves fast once it reaches the resale listings, so this is the one likeliest to sell through first.
Two cold cups take the iced side
Cold drinks get two very different cups. The Stainless Steel Cold Cup Tumbler in Pale White holds 591 ml, comes with a handle and a removable straw, and keeps the same soft white and mint pairing as the bottle. It runs about $34.
Its partner is the biggest piece here and the cheapest. The Logo Cold Cup Tumbler holds 710 ml in a faceted, diamond-cut body cut from AS resin, with a textured straw and the Siren worked into the front. It is about $19.
Between the two, the choice is insulation against size. The stainless cup keeps a drink cold and shrugs off a drop, while the resin cup carries more coffee for less money and shows off the faceting when the light hits it. Both pour cold drinks only, and both keep their straws, one removable and one fixed into the lid.
A paper-cup shape in steel, plus a mug for the desk
The Stainless Steel To Go Tumbler copies the paper cup you already know, right down to the sleeve line near the top, but cuts it from stainless in Mint Green. The Siren sits low on the front in green, exactly where the paper cup wears it. It holds 473 ml and runs about $29.
One catch rides along: the lid does not seal fully, so this one travels upright in a car or a tote rather than tossed in a bag. The mug answers with a tighter setup, a spout that slides open and shut, and a body sized for a desk instead of a cup holder. Between the pair, commuters get the shape they know and desk workers get the lid that behaves.
That mug is the Stainless Steel Mug, 355 ml in Mint Green with the Siren debossed into the side. It is the desk pick of the set at about $24.
The glass mug hides the confetti
Last is the piece you will stare at.
The Heat-resistant Glass Mug, 296 ml in Mint Green, seals a bed of glitter confetti inside its base, and the confetti swirls every time the mug moves. Stars and dots in green and gold drift through the bottom of the glass while the top stays clean and plain. It is the only glass in the set and the second-cheapest piece at about $22.
Engraving, a drink ticket, and getting one
Four of the six pieces, the Stanley bottle, the To Go tumbler, the white cold cup, and the stainless mug, can take a name or a design engraved on the back through the online store, for about $7 on top of the sticker. Engraved prices top out at about $47 for the bottle.
Every piece also includes a drink ticket, good for a free drink up to about $7 in store. It is a small extra, and on the $19 logo cup it covers a third of the price before you have poured anything.
Starbucks sells the set as seasonal goods and notes that pieces can sell out, so no restock is promised once a piece is gone. None of it overlaps with the US holiday lineup, which is a different drop entirely. If you want the pale set, a Japan trip or a proxy buyer is the route, and the Stanley is the piece to lock down first.
