Seattle, WA — Grab your broom because Starbucks’ Halloween collection this year celebrates black cats with special merch, a Black Cat Frappuccino and a large, shareable black cookie. The exclusive black cat themed four-piece merchandise line arrived in select U.S. stores on September 15, and the Black Cat Frappuccino and Venti Black Night Cookie followed on October 22, on the menu through Halloween.
For every chain’s Halloween menu this year, see our Fall and Halloween Fast Food 2026 guide.
Starbucks’ holiday menu and its Holiday Bearista collection follow on November 5, in my Starbucks holiday menu story.
The Black Cat Merchandise Collection
The merchandise comes first, and black cats run through every piece: etched across the cold cup, peeking into the pumpkin mug, worn by the Bearista plush, and, on the menu side, shaped into the chocolate cat ears on the Frappuccino. The collection mixes two ceramic mugs, a stainless-steel cold cup, and a plush bag charm. All four pieces reach select U.S. coffeehouses beginning September 15, while supplies last, and they range from $14.95 for the Bearista charm to $29.95 for the cold cup.
Black cat mug ($19.95): a pumpkin-shaped ceramic mug, listed at 12 ounces, with a curious black cat peeking in over the rim.
Cauldron mug ($16.95): a black 14-ounce cauldron mug, in Starbucks’ words “made for enjoying your favorite beverage (or potions!) throughout the Halloween season.”
Black cat stainless steel cold cup ($29.95): a matte black cold cup, listed at 23 ounces, covered in subtle black cat artwork that glows in the dark. At $29.95 it is the priciest piece in the collection and the only one with the glow-in-the-dark treatment.
Black Cat Bearista Plush Bag Charm ($14.95): the Bearista, Starbucks’ plush bear, dressed for trick-or-treating in a black cat costume over a green apron, with a dual-function keychain and bag-charm clip. At $14.95 it is the least expensive piece in the collection, and it joins Starbucks’ recurring Bearista plush line.
The Black Cat Frappuccino and Black Night Cookie
The Black Cat Frappuccino and the Venti Black Night Cookie arrived on October 22 at select U.S. coffeehouses, on the menu through Halloween. The Frappuccino is a Crème Frappuccino, so it is blended without coffee, with a rich cocoa flavor that Starbucks says has brownie-like notes, topped with whipped cream and chocolate cat ears, and it comes only in a grande. The Venti Black Night Cookie is made with dark chocolate cookie dough, caramel fudge pieces and chunks of caramelized white chocolate. Starbucks’ announcement doesn’t list a price for either.
Salem, the black cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, is helping Starbucks launch the drink on its social channels, and the show streams on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.
When and Where to Buy
The merchandise came first, on September 15, and the Frappuccino and cookie followed on October 22, all in select U.S. Starbucks coffeehouses. Starbucks lists the merchandise while supplies last and the drink and cookie through Halloween, so check your local cafe.
