TikTok users aren’t able to get enough of Starbucks‘ limited-edition Purple Rhinestone Cold Cup as the coffee brand continues to roll out its holiday merch collection.
As always, Starbucks has made the holiday season in 2022 as vibrant as possible with a range of cups and tumblers that have been on sale for a few weeks now.
Just like the bling cups that come in Sangria and Gold hues this year, people are thrilled to have a similar tumbler decorated with Purple Rhinestone.
Where to buy Starbucks’ Purple Rhinestone Cold Cup
Going by reports online and pictures of the reusable cold cup shared by some, it seems like the Purple Rhinestone Cold tumbler is not available in U.S. stores.
But, it is available on third-party shopping sites like eBay for a hefty price.
Starbucks 2022 Taiwan 16 oz is available for an average price of $180.
The description under the product also states international shipment may be subject to additional charges.
So, you may have to shed a few more dollars before the holiday collection reaches your hands.
TikTok users are going gaga over the holiday merch
It seems like many TikTok users are just learning that the stainless steel tumbler was released long ago.
Reacting to a video featuring the lovely purple cup, one desperate user said: “When did they release this one?? I need it”
The creator of the TikTok who owns the cup responded: “It was released in Thailand and sold out right away.”
And, one video shared in November featuring a number of Purple Rhinestone cold cups has TikTok users asking the owner if they are willing to sell them.
One comment read: “Are you selling these now? I hear they are sold out everywhere.”
Starbucks has more bling cups
If the reusable Purple Rhinestone tumbler is getting sold out too quickly, you should consider trying some of Starbucks’ other bling cups.
From Cold Cups to ornaments, Starbucks holiday merch has everything you would want to add to your Christmas wishlist.
The latest collection includes Bling Cups, tumblers, and ornaments that are available in different shades, including gold, sangria (pink), white, and shades of merlot and azure.
Starbucks has also launched Gradient Candy Water Bottle, Enchanted Forest Cup, Color Changing Hot Cups, and more.
