It is Wicked good! Starbucks Defies Gravity with new beverages, merchandise & more
Starbucks fans and Ozians are in for a fantastical experience, as Starbucks partners with Universal Pictures to celebrate the cinematic debut of Wicked. Through this partnership, the film’s themes of connection, belonging and joy come to life through exclusive Starbucks beverages and merchandise.
Starting November 20, Starbucks fans in select markets in Asia Pacific can experience the magic of the new beverages and merchandise inspired by Oz and its beloved characters and places, including the Emerald City.
“As Wicked makes its long-awaited big-screen debut, we’re thrilled to be celebrating its enduring legacy of friendship and community, electrifying the senses in ways only Starbucks can,” said Samuel Fung, vice president, Product and Marketing, Starbucks Asia Pacific. “By joining forces with Universal Pictures, we invite customers and Ozians to a magical Third Place where they can connect over this pop culture moment while indulging in Oz-themed beverages and merchandise. Together we’re unlimited – in our potential to create unforgettable experiences that uplift the everyday.”
Wicked, arriving in theaters from November 20 as we start the holiday season, is the untold story of the witches of Oz. The film centers on Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege, who has yet to discover her true heart. As they forge an unlikely friendship, their extraordinary adventures will see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on November 21, 2025.
Wickedly delicious drinks
Flying into Starbucks stores for a limited time are two new handcrafted beverages inspired by Oz’s iconic duo, Glinda and Elphaba.
Featuring a Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers® Beverage* with a swirl of creamy coconut milk and a sparkle of ruby-red cookie crumbs, every sip of Glinda's Pink Potion is set to transport fans straight into the land of Oz.
In contrast, Elphaba's Cold Brew* is a thrillifying concoction of Starbucks Cold Brew – hand crafted in small batches daily from beans grown to steep long and cold for an ultra-smooth flavor – topped with frothy matcha foam and a refreshing peppermint kick, for pure sorcery in every sip.
