For most people, Halloween is just a holiday that takes place every year. But for college students, it is more than that — it’s a whole season. The party planning, the costume shopping, the spooky decorations, the horror film nights, and the fun outings with friends — it’s all part of the college Halloween experience. And the Starbucks Halloween 2026 merch and treats are here to make your college spooky season all the more spooky.
Starbucks already rolled out its fall menu (including the iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte), but it turns out the coffee company isn’t quite done with the autumnal treats. Coming this Oct. 22, Starbucks will introduce two limited-edition Halloween goodies: The Black Cat Frappuccino and The Venti Black Night Cookie.
For those who love to drink their chocolate, the Black Cat Frappuccino is probably going to be for you. This limited-edition Frappuccino is topped with whipped cream and chocolate-shaped cat ears on top.
If you are a fan of Starbucks’s cookies, then the Venti Black Night Cookie may be your new obsession. This black cocoa cookie is filled with small bites of caramel fudge and caramelized white chocolate — a fitting pairing to go with the chocolatey Black Cat Frappuccino.
But that’s only part of the surprise: A Halloween merchandise collection is also coming to select Starbucks coffeehouses beginning on Sept. 15, helping customers celebrate the spooky season even more, while supplies last. Here’s a breakdown of the items in the collection:
Black Cat Mug ($19.95)
Want to add a touch of seasonal charm to every sip? Check out this pumpkin-shaped ceramic mug with a curious black cat peeking in.
Black Cat Stainless Steel Cold Cup ($29.95)
This matte black cold cup is super Halloween-y as it is, but wait until you see the black cat artwork that glows in the dark.
Cauldron Mug ($16.95)
If you prefer more of a witchy vibe than the black cat motif, you might gravitate toward this 14-ounce cauldron mug.
Black Cat Bearista Plush Bag Charm ($14.95)
Dressed in a black costume for trick-or-treating, Starbucks’s beloved Bearista plush is purr-fect for clipping it to your school bag or keychain.
