To be honest, fall season is already here, which means the pumpkin spice season, the cozy sweaters, and then Halloween decorations, and also apparently the Snoopy season.

Starbucks and The Peanuts have teamed up this fall season with the limited edition collection inspired by some of the most recognizable fall classics, which is the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The collection brings Snoopy, Woodstock, and other familiar Peanut characters into the Starbucks world with cups, accessories, and lastly collectibles and even seasonal drinks for this fall season. 

The collection launched on September 15, 2026, but if you have not had the chance to check it out yet, there is plenty to look for.  Whether you are a longtime fan of Snoopy or even someone who simply cannot resist a cute fall Starbucks cup, this collaboration is definitely worth knowing about. 

The Snoopy Glass Cup is the Star


If there is one item that immediately stands out, and that is the Snoopy Glass Cup.

The 20 ounce glass cup features the one and only Snoopy dressed for the fall season in a pumpkin-colored hat and a green scarf.  It also comes with Woodstock straw topper, which makes the cup even more adorable.

At $39.95, it is definitely more of a splurge than your average coffee cup, but it is also the kind of Starbucks collectible that can keep using long after the fall season is over.

And lets be honest sometimes the cups are half the reason why we want the Starbucks drinks in the first place.

There is Something For Every Snoopy Fan

The collection is not limited to one cup. Starbucks released 10 different Peanuts inspired items giving the fans plenty of options depending on what they look for in the collection.

There are multiple cups and tumblers, including a stainless steel cold cup featuring Snoopy and Lucy,  and The Great Pumpkin inspired tumbler and a 24 ounce cold up.

For the people who already have Starbucks cup collections that are taking over their kitchen right now, there are also smaller accessories to choose from. 

The collection includes: Snoopy plush, mini tote bag, and a charm and enamel pin set. The accessories are especially fun for college students because they can easily be added to your everyday campus essentials.

A Snoopy bag charm on your backpack ? Adorable in my opinion. 

A mini tote for carrying your smaller essentials around campus? Practical and cute! 

The Collection is Basically Fall in Cup Form


One of the best parts of the collaboration is how well it fits into the season. 

The collection takes the inspiration from “It’s Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, so the design has the classical Halloween feeling without being too over the top. The pumpkin, the fall colors, and the Snoopy designs make the piece feel festive while still being something you could use throughout the whole season and even after fall. 

There is something nostalgic about seeing your childhood character become part of a brand that many college students already love. 

For many of us, Snoopy and Peanuts are characters we grew up seeing on television, in books, and even holiday decorations and even holiday specials. Now the same nostalgia is showing up during our Starbucks runs. 

And honestly, that is a pretty good combination.


Starbucks is Getting in on the Drink Fun, Too

Of course, a Starbucks collection would not be complete without drinks. 

Along with the merchandise, Starbucks also included two limited time Peanuts inspired Frappuccino drinks: The Charlie Brown Mocha Frappuccino and the Snoopy Cookie Frappuccino. 

The Charlie Brown Mocha Frappuccino features a vanilla bean and also white mocha sauced topped with a pumpkin spice cold foam and mocha drizzle.

The Snoopy Cookie Frappuccino features a vanilla bean with white mocha sauce topped with pumpkin spice cold foam with cookie crumbles.

Both drinks fit perfectly into the fall theme and give the fans another way to celebrate the collaboration without even purchasing the merchandise.

So if you are trying to decide between trying to buy the Snoopy cup or simply just ordering a Snoopy inspired drink, Starbucks has it covered either way.

Why this Collection Feels Perfect  For College Students

There is something about the new Starbucks collection that makes the regular school week feel a little bit more exciting. 

College can be stressful. Between classes, homework, studying and also trying to maintain a sort of a real social life, sometimes it is the little things that make your day better.

A cute coffee cup before your morning class might not fix your entire schedule, but it can differently make your eight A.M. feel like a little bit more enjoyable.

The Snoopy collection also fits right into the everyday college aesthetic. Whether it’s the backpack that is covered with charms, or your desk is decorated with cute collectibles or even having you have a cute tumbler for class, there are plenty of ways to incorporate the collection into your routine.  

Snoopy And Starbucks Are a Nostalgia Dream

What makes a collection like this so popular is the nostalgia factor. 

Snoopy has been around for generations, and the Peanuts continues to be a recognizable part of pop culture. Pairing it with those familiar characters with Starbucks it creates something that feels both nostalgic and current. 

It is truly not about buying another Starbucks cup. It’s about getting a piece that reminds you of the Halloween movies, and the childhood memories, and the excitement that comes with the beginning of the fall season. 

And with  It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, the timing could not be better.  

Why Should I Buy It?

If you are truly trying not to spend your entire paycheck on the collection, choosing one favorite item might be the way to go.

For the ultimate Snoopy fan: The Snoopy Glass Cup is definitely the statement piece. 

For someone who loves practical accessories: The mini tote is a cute option that you can actually use and to  choose from.

For your backpack: The Snoopy bag charm can add a small pop to your backpack, and add a little personality without it being too much. 

For a collector: The enamel pin set is also an easy way to celebrate the collaboration without spending your whole paycheck and also without buying the bigger items. 

For someone who just wants to try something fun: You can skip the merchandise and order the limited edition Peanuts inspired drinks. 

To be honest there is no wrong answer. It just really depends on how much you want Snoopy in your life. 


Should I Check It Out?

Even though the Starbucks and Peanuts collection launched on September 15, it is still worth checking participating Starbucks locations if you have been thinking about getting something from the collection. 

The limited edition is available while supplies last, and so availability can vary from store to store. If there is one particular item that you have been hoping to find you should go check your local Starbucks to see if they have any left. 

Whether you leave Starbucks with a new cup or even a Snoopy plush or even the glass cup the collaboration is an easier way to bring a little bit extra fun into the fall season. 

Between the pumpkin spice, Halloween, and Snoopy, Starbucks truly is already feeling like the beginning of the best part of the year. So grab your Starbucks and also put on your favorite fall outfit and embrace your inner Snoopy girl. 

This fall is not just about finding the Great Pumpkin,  it’s about finding Snoopy at your local Starbucks.
