HEADLINE: 🚨 BREAKING: Is the Miffy x Starbucks Luminary Collab a Hoax? What We Know 🐰☕

Viral Snippet:

A new rumor sweeping TikTok and X claims that Starbucks is planning a “secret, limited-edition” collaboration with global icon Miffy—the minimalist Dutch rabbit. The alleged collection supposedly includes a “glow-in-the-dark” studded cup, a cream-white ceramic tumbler with Miffy’s face, and a matching keychain that lights up.

Real or Fake?

THE FAKE: The specific “Starbucks Luminary Miffy” cup does not exist. The viral images circulating are AI-generated or edited fan art. The term “Luminary” was incorrectly pulled from Starbucks’ real—but unrelated—2023 Stanley Quencher drop.

THE REAL: Miffy has collaborated with Starbucks in the past for regional drops (South Korea, 2017, and Japan, 2022). These previous cups are real and extremely rare, often reselling for $200+. However, no current global or 2024/2025 Miffy drop has been announced by either brand.

VERDICT: 🚫 False — The “glow-in-the-dark” rumor is fabricated. But don’t lose hope: Miffy’s licensing team is reportedly in talks with international brands for a 2025 anniversary push. For now, don’t buy a fake cup on eBay for $500.
