A seasonal advent calendar has been released by Starbucks, offering customers a novel approach to counting down the days until Christmas.
The product is stocked at outlets throughout Sussex.
The 12-door Bearista Advent Calendar is the coffee chain’s inaugural advent offering and carries a retail price of £24.95.
Each numbered door conceals a daily surprise, comprising an exclusive teddy bear plush toy alongside an assortment of miniature seasonal garments and accessories designed for interchangeable styling.
The miniature wardrobe encompasses knitted garments and winter accessories, allowing purchasers to dress the plush character in various combinations throughout December.
The company has positioned the calendar as a decorative memento suitable for retaining beyond the festive period.
The Bearista mascot originated during the 1990s and has maintained popularity through periodic merchandise releases.
The character’s clear glass tumbler cups, officially designated as Bearista Cold Cups, experienced viral attention when launched in British outlets earlier this year, prompting significant customer demand.
The vessels feature transparent glass construction with a lid resembling headwear such as a beanie or baseball cap, accompanied by a reusable drinking straw.
Additional product variations have subsequently been introduced.
The calendar will be accessible at participating Starbucks locations across the United Kingdom from November 5, 2026.
Availability is limited to existing stock levels, and the item is exclusively sold through physical store purchases.
Customers seeking their nearest stockist may utilise the store locator tool accessible via the Starbucks UK mobile application or official website.
Members of the Starbucks Rewards loyalty programme have the option to accumulate Stars on qualifying purchases by scanning their account details at the point of sale.
