The highly anticipated Starbucks x Stanley collab dropped to celebrate the arrival of Starbucks’ winter menu—and an expansion to the Bring Your Own Cup rules, allowing customers to use a personal cup (such as a Stanley) for drive-thru and mobile orders.
This all-day hydration solution is as in demand for its limited-edition color as it is for its generous size, straw-embedded lid and insulated design—and the co-branded imprint scaling the side of the thirst quenchers.
The Starbucks x Stanley Winter Pink Quencher, exclusive to Target, has been Stanley’s most popular cup to date. This coveted collaboration between two iconic brands led eager fans to line up overnight, eagerly awaiting the release of the limited-edition product that’s now reselling online for premium prices.
