Starbucks Bearista Surprise Boxes 2026: Meet the Five Holiday Characters Coming to Canada
The Starbucks Bearista Surprise Boxes 2026 are arriving in Canada on November 10, bringing five festive collectible characters to participating Starbucks coffeehouses.
The limited-edition collection features Aspen, Reiny, Bunny, Joy and the rare Goldie, each with its own holiday-inspired personality.
Each hand-blown glass Bearista costs $49.95 CAD and comes in a mystery box, meaning shoppers won’t know which character they’ve received until they open it.
The collection will be available while supplies last, with a purchase limit of two Surprise Boxes per customer.
Meet the Five Starbucks Bearista Holiday Characters
Starbucks has revealed four of the five designs ahead of the November 10 launch, while keeping its rarest character under wraps.
Here’s a closer look at the festive lineup.
Aspen — The Alpine Adventurer
Aspen is the outdoorsy Bearista of the group, inspired by winter ski trips and cozy mountain lodges.
The design features colourful ski-themed accessories, making Aspen a playful addition for anyone who loves winter adventures.
Reiny — The Holiday Movie Lover
Reiny embraces the quieter side of the holidays.
With a reindeer-inspired design, this character is all about settling in for a festive movie marathon and enjoying a cozy winter evening.
Bunny — The Colour-Changing Bearista
Bunny brings an interactive twist to the collection.
This winter-inspired character features a special design that changes colour when filled with cold beverages.
For fans who enjoy collectible drinkware with unexpected details, Bunny offers something different from the rest of the lineup.
Joy — The Snow Globe Dreamer
Joy is inspired by the magic of winter snow globes.
The character’s whimsical holiday accessories reflect a love of snowy scenes and festive decorations.
Goldie — The Rare Mystery Character
Goldie is the rarest Bearista in the 2026 Surprise Box collection.
Unlike the other characters, Goldie’s complete design is being kept secret until customers begin opening their boxes on November 10.
Starbucks has not disclosed the odds of receiving Goldie, adding another element of mystery to the limited-edition release.
