Defying gravity with the green mermaid at Starbucks.
As the excitement builds in the U.S. for the highly anticipated film adaptation of *Wicked*, set to premiere on 22 November, fans in Japan will find themselves in a waiting game, as the movie won’t grace local screens until next spring. Fortunately, they can indulge in a taste of the magic right now, as Starbucks launches limited-edition merchandise, including two enchanting tumblers starting today.
▼ Wicked stars Arianna Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba
The first delightful offering is the **Cold Cup Tumbler Prism Pink**, which boasts a whimsical straw cap designed to resemble Glinda’s magnificent wand. This creatively crafted cap captures the enchanting glow of the wand, while Glinda’s name elegantly graces the back of the cup. With its unique uneven surface, the tumbler sparkles like crystalline magic, reflecting light with every sip, allowing drinkers to embrace their inner good witch.
Meanwhile, the **Cold Cup Tumbler Emerald Green** showcases a charming flying broomstick straw cap, featuring an engraving of Elphaba’s iconic Wicked Witch’s hat on the back. Even more captivating, the interior insert of the tumbler glows softly in the dark, casting a mysterious allure that perfectly complements the dark sorcery of the story.
The exclusive tumblers are now available at Starbucks locations throughout Japan, starting on 8 November, priced at 5,000 yen (approximately US$32.39) each. However, fans should act quickly, as these magical items are only available while supplies last.
