Haunted Mansion Starbucks Tumbler 2025
Okay, let’s talk about the one thing I did not need in July but somehow ended up obsessing over anyway: the Haunted Mansion Starbucks Tumbler 2025. Yep, it’s here and if you haven’t seen it yet, prepare yourself. It’s hauntingly gorgeous, completely unnecessary, and I still wanted it the second I saw it.
I mean, did Starbucks really need to go this hard for Halloween? Apparently, yes.
First Impressions: It’s Giving Haunted Goth Barista Energy
The second I saw it, I thought: Wait, is that glow-in-the-dark? Yep. The matte black finish, the eerie green and purple undertones, the subtle Disney Haunted Mansion details it’s just… everything. Even the Starbucks siren is peeking through the creepy Victorian wallpaper like she’s ready to serve your soul in a venti.
This isn’t just a tumbler. It’s a whole vibe. The kind that makes you want to fill it with something dramatic, like a black iced Americano or a matcha latte with a splash of ghost energy.
Where I Found Mine (and What I Paid—Yikes)
So here’s the thing. I didn’t get it from the park because, well, flights to Disney aren’t exactly in my July budget. I found mine on Mercari after obsessively refreshing listings for three days straight. Retail price? Around $30. What I paid? …Let’s not talk about that.
All I’ll say is that it was probably more than I’d spend on groceries for the week. But hey, hydration is important too, right? And if you’re reading this wondering if you should wait for Shop Disney to restock honestly, try.
They might. But also… be prepared for heartbreak.
Why This One Feels Different
Starbucks does a lot of seasonal cups, and yeah, some of them are cute. But this one? It hits differently. I think it’s because it’s not screaming “Halloween” in a cheesy way it’s classy-creepy. Like, if Wednesday Addams went to Starbucks, this is what she’d be carrying.
It doesn’t say “boo” or have glitter bats. It says, “I mourn in matte black and I drink cold brew all year.” Respect.
Quick PSA: Watch Out for Fakes
If you’re shopping secondhand, just know people are making dupes. They look almost identical at first glance, but:
- Real ones have the Starbucks + Disney logos clean and sharp (not smudgy or off-center)
- The glow-in-the-dark ink on fakes usually doesn’t really… glow
- And the base stamp should say “2025,” not some mystery year
If the listing looks too good to be true, it probably is. Ask for real photos, not just stock images.
What I’m Drinking in Mine (Spoiler: It’s Basic)
Since I got it, I’ve basically been filling it with every seasonal drink I can think of even if it’s July. My current favorite: cold brew with vanilla, oat milk, and a splash of pumpkin cream cold foam. Don’t judge me. I know it’s not fall. But this cup makes me feel like it is. Also, if you care about the nutrition side of things, you can check out my Starbucks calorie calculator here because yes, I also like knowing how many grams of sugar I’m sipping through a straw while pretending it’s Halloween.
Should You Get It?
Honestly? If you love Starbucks merch, Halloween, Disney, spooky vibes, or all of the above… yes. It’s one of the better limited releases I’ve seen in a while, and I can already tell it’s going to be one of those tumblers that people hunt for on eBay next year and regret not grabbing. But if you’re just mildly interested? Maybe don’t pay $100 for it. Unless you’re like me and have zero resistance to anything that glows in the dark.
Final Thoughts: Do I Regret Buying It?
Nope. Not for a second. Will I keep using it year-round? Absolutely. I’m that person who thinks Halloween is a year-round mood anyway And if you end up getting one too whether it’s through Disney, resale, or an insanely lucky thrift store find DM me a pic. I want to see it in the wild.
