Updated: Jan. 10, 2022This Valentine's Day collection is a love letter from Starbucks.
While some of us are still poppin’ bottles in celebration of 2022, others are gearing up for Valentine’s Day. M&M’s just dropped the sweetest treats with some cake-flavored candy, and we’re already eyeing our favorite recipes for Valentine’s Day desserts. Still, no one sings the song of love like the Starbucks siren.
New Starbucks Valentine’s Day cups are here, featuring the prettiest pink mugs and tumblers we need to get our hands on. Here’s what you should snag for your sweetheart this season of love.
Starbucks Valentine’s Day Cups Are Finally Here
If you haven’t been to Starbucks lately, now’s the time to get in line. Already, regulars are spotting Starbucks Valentine’s Day cups and tumblers in all sorts of adorable designs. Dress up your latte in holiday hearts, flowers and glitter. In tradition with Valentine’s Day, each piece features pinks and reds galore!
Starbucks employees usually get first dibs on the new merchandise. Here’s what else Starbucks employees aren’t telling you.

TikTok user @targetovereverything dropped a video that shows off almost the entire collection of Starbucks Valentine’s Day cups and we need that confetti-handled mug ASAP.
@targetovereverything Which one is your fave? #valentinesday #starbuckscup #vdaygift #targetfinds #targettok #starbucks #tiempoparami #valentinesdaygift ♬ Problemón – Alvaro Diaz & Rauw Alejandro
FYI: Venti Starbucks lattes actually don’t have more caffeine.
But They Won’t Be Around for Long
Starbucks shoppers know that holiday mugs disappear in a flash, so avoid the heartbreak by stopping at your location ASAP. Some Starbucks cafes may not have them in stock just yet, so be sure to check back regularly. If you have someone on the inside, you may even claim yours before anyone else. You might also be able to grab Starbucks Valentine’s Day cups and tumblers at your local Target.
Not only do you have these mugs to look forward to, but Starbucks should be releasing its Valentine’s Day drinks in the coming weeks. Expect lots of chocolate, and Starbucks workers will be more than happy to scribble down a note for your sweetheart. Is there anything better on Valentine’s Day than a Cherry Mocha in a mug fit for Cupid? We don’t think so.
Fill up your new mug or tumbler with these Starbucks secret menu items.

I love caramel frappuccinos from Starbucks, but they get too expensive. I now make my own, and they are just as good. If you blend the milk with all the other ingredients, it gets too foamy—instead stir it in with a spoon after all the ice is crushed. —Heather Egger, Davenport, Iowa
