Win "Starbucks for Life" & the Viral Bearista Cup in the Merrython Game
The Starbucks for Life Merrython game is back from Dec. 8, 2025 – Jan. 4, 2026! Rewards members can play to win the grand prize of Starbucks for Life and a chance to win one of 17,000 viral Bearista Cold Cups
Published on
Starbucks is kicking off its holiday rewards season with the return of the Starbucks for Life Merrython game, running from December 8, 2025, to January 4, 2026. This year, the stakes are higher, offering not only the grand prize of free Starbucks for 30 years but also another chance to win the highly coveted, sold-out viral Glass Bearista Cold Cup.

After the initial release of the Bearista cups caused a shopping frenzy, Starbucks is giving away a large new stock of the glass cups—with an average of more than 600 available every day—exclusively through this online game, ensuring they cannot be purchased directly in stores.
