Starbucks's New Halloween Cups Include a Slime-Dripping Tumbler

Now that pumpkin spice lattes are officially back at Starbucks, it's time to find cups to fill 'em with. While the coffee company has not yet shared an official release date, shoppers have been spotting Halloween tumblers and mugs for the 2023 season since late August, sharing glimpses of the new collection on Instagram and TikTok alike.

Among several designs seen at Target stores, a neon green cold cup resembling Nickelodeon's famous green slime has already gone viral, with many social media users coveting the fun item. There's also a black tumbler with colorful pumpkin art, and a similar shiny version featuring pumpkin etchings. All three items glow in the dark, making them all the more festive for Halloween. On the mug front, fans have also discovered a hot pink coffee cup shaped like a pumpkin, as well as a rainbow skull mug.

Unlike this year's vibrant and playful lineup, Starbucks's 2022 Halloween cups and thermoses leaned a little spookier, as they featured illustrations of tree branches and eyes of creatures, and stuck to a purple, black, and green color scheme. Considering the retailer announced its Halloween drinkware in mid-September 2022, here's hoping there's a major rollout of this year's collection in stores soon.

These discoveries have come just a few weeks after Starbucks revealed the return of the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte, as well as two brand-new fall beverages: the Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso and Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Tea Latte.

Take a closer look at the new merchandise ahead, and get ready to check your local Target and Starbucks locations to snag one of your own.
