Fall? Check. A cozy drink? Check. A “Peanuts” classic that generations have made part of the season? Absolutely.
There are certain things that simply begin to signal fall each year. The temperatures start dropping, pumpkin-flavored everything returns to menus and, sooner or later, Linus finds himself sitting in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to finally arrive.
This year, Starbucks and Peanuts are bringing a few of those familiar traditions together.
Beginning September 15, Starbucks will launch a new limited-edition “Peanuts” merchandise collection celebrating the 60th anniversary of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” The 10-piece collection brings Snoopy, Woodstock, Lucy and plenty of pumpkins to drinkware, accessories and even a new plush, giving fans a chance to mix some old fall favorites with their next coffee run.
And considering “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” has been part of the season since 1966, there is something rather fitting about pairing it with another modern fall ritual.
The collection’s standout may very well be a new Snoopy glass cold cup featuring the famous beagle dressed for the season in a pumpkin-colored hat and green scarf. Woodstock gets to join the fun as a straw topper, making the entire thing just a little more adorable. Starbucks is limiting purchases of the Snoopy glass cold cup to two per customer.
Yet Snoopy certainly isn’t arriving alone.
A stainless steel cold cup features Lucy and Snoopy sharing their own coffee moment, while a Great Pumpkin tumbler brings Snoopy and Woodstock into the classic seasonal story. Another 24-ounce cold cup surrounds Snoopy and the Great Pumpkin with fall imagery, and a 14-ounce ceramic mug hides a surprise Snoopy that appears with every sip.
There is even more beyond the drinkware. A 16-ounce stainless steel tumbler features a Woodstock charm and dancing Snoopy, while the collection rounds things out with a Snoopy plush, bag charm, mini tote and enamel pin set.
The collaboration arrives during a particularly big year for Charlie Brown and friends. “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026, six decades after Linus first convinced Sally to spend Halloween night waiting alongside him in the pumpkin patch.
And somehow, we are still waiting with him.
That longevity is part of what makes the Starbucks collaboration feel particularly appropriate. For generations of families, returning to the “Peanuts” Halloween special has become one of those little traditions that helps mark the season. Pair it with a favorite fall drink, a cool evening and perhaps a blanket on the couch, and you have a pretty solid October night.
Unlike some recent character collaborations that have been limited to particular regions, plenty of fans will have a chance to find this one. The Starbucks x Peanuts collection will be available at participating Starbucks coffeehouses across the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific markets while supplies last.
So, whether your fall tradition involves pumpkin spice, waiting for the Great Pumpkin or simply spending another season with Snoopy and Woodstock, Starbucks is giving a few old and new favorites a place together this year.
Now all we need is for the Great Pumpkin to finally show up.
Linus has been waiting 60 years, after all.
