Starbucks introduces new Wicked beverages and merch in Universal Pictures collab

The coffee giant adds two new drinks and 19 new merch options as LTO

In a collaboration with Universal Pictures, Starbucks is releasing new drinks and merchandise to celebrate the upcoming release of “Wicked,” the book-turned-musical-turned-movie prequel to “The Wizard of Oz.” Starting Tuesday, consumers in the U.S., Canada, and select international markets can visit the Seattle-based coffee giant to try out the two new “Wicked” drinks. Additionally, starting Nov. 7, the coffee shops will carry Starbucks x Wicked tumblers, mugs, and keychains.

With the movie premiere just a month away, Starbucks has added “Elphaba’s Cold Brew,” a peppermint cold brew topped with matcha cold foam and green sprinkles, and “Glinda’s Pink Potion,” a Mango Dragonfruit Refresher shaken with coconut milk and freeze-dried dragonfruit topped with non-dairy strawberry cold foam and pink sprinkles.

To further celebrate the release, Starbucks will add 16 new tumblers, cold cups, and mini cup keychains to their merch shelves on Nov. 7, inspired by the film’s main characters — the good witch Glinda and the wicked witch Elphaba — the City of Oz, and the pink and green color scheme. In addition, Starbucks will expand its “Discovery Series Collection,” which makes mugs featuring the names of prominent locations, to include Munchkinland, the Emerald City, and Shiz University, all fictional settings in the film.

Additionally, the coffee chain will have new Emerald City-inspired gift cards available for purchase in-store and through the app, with a special gold-colored mini card that doubles as a keychain with a minimum $50 load. 

The movie is scheduled to come out Nov. 22 of this year, with “Wicked Part Two” scheduled to premiere Nov. 21, 2025.
