CapitaLand and Starbucks have turned 16 malls into a Bearista Christmas. From 11 November to 31 December 2026, Brewing Up Starbucks Christmas Magic at CapitaLand Malls puts five giant festive Bearistas across CapitaLand malls, runs a travelling pop-up with Starbucks Singapore's first Create-Your-Own Cold Foam Beverage Bar, and adds a CapitaLand-only drink and weekday shopping vouchers. CapitaLand calls it Singapore's largest Starbucks holiday takeover.
> Quick view: Pop-up: Raffles City L3 Atrium 11-22 Nov, Bugis+ L2 Atrium 25 Nov-6 Dec, 10am-10pm, unlock with code BEARISTA in the CapitaStar app · Drink: Iced Hazelnut Bianco Latte, grande $8.60, to 31 Dec · Merch: 10% off with $80 minimum for Starbucks Rewards members, plus a 1-for-1 Venti voucher per merchandise purchase · Vouchers: $5 to $15 eCapitaVoucher per mall on weekdays to 24 Dec.
The Bearista Holiday Experience pop-up
The centrepiece is a travelling pop-up where all five Bearistas (Brewster, Dasha, Jam, Snowmallow and Star) appear together.
| Stop | Dates | Hours | Exclusive cold foam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raffles City, Level 3 Atrium | 11 to 22 Nov 2026 | 10am to 10pm | Kaya Toast Cold Foam with Buttery Croutons |
| Bugis+, Level 2 Atrium | 25 Nov to 6 Dec 2026 | 10am to 10pm | Chocolate Chip Cookie Cold Foam with dark chocolate shavings |
What is inside, according to CapitaLand's release of 10 November:
- Create-Your-Own Cold Foam Beverage Bar, Starbucks Singapore's first, with Hojicha, Matcha and Strawberry cold foams plus the stop's exclusive flavour above. CapitaLand has not published drink prices for the bar.
- Coffee Discovery Stations. Raffles City has a guided tasting of Christmas Blend Blonde and Dark Roast against Starbucks Colombia, with a coffee-scrub activity. Bugis+ has an aroma journey across Latin America, Africa and Indonesia, with a paper-bag wallet craft.
- Coffee & Craft Workshop for two: CapitaStar members who spend at least $60 get the opportunity to join one.
- Dress-a-Bearista: start with the gingerbread Bearista and add an outfit.
- Photo spots: a plushie wall, a ribbon Christmas tree and a wall of Starbucks cups marking Starbucks' 30 years in Singapore.
Spending at the pop-up: Starbucks Rewards members get 10% off Starbucks merchandise with a $80 minimum spend. Every merchandise purchase also comes with a Buy-1-Get-1-Free Venti voucher valid at nine participating Starbucks stores in CapitaLand malls, and every $100 spent gets an event-exclusive Bearista pin set, while stocks last.
Take the online Bearista personality quiz too: it unlocks limited-edition Bearista stickers until 6 December, while stocks last.
The CapitaLand-only drink
The Iced Hazelnut Bianco Latte (hazelnut, milk and white chocolate topped with espresso) is $8.60 for a grande from 11 November to 31 December. CapitaLand lists it at the Starbucks outlets in Aperia Mall, Bugis Junction, Bugis+, Bedok Mall, Kallang Wave Mall, Raffles City, Paragon, Plaza Singapura and Westgate.
Weekday eCapitaVouchers (11 Nov to 24 Dec)
The "up to $25" in CapitaLand's banner is the mall tier plus the DBS bonus, not a single voucher. These apply on weekdays only, to CapitaStar members paying with a linked Mastercard, DBS/POSB card or PayLah!, Kris+ or ShopBack Pay (or eCapitaVoucher).
| Mall | Spend (same day, same mall) | eCapitaVoucher |
|---|---|---|
| Aperia Mall, Kallang Wave Mall, Sengkang Grand Mall | $60 | $5 |
| SingPost Centre | $120 | $10 |
| Bedok Mall, Bugis+, CQ @ Clarke Quay, Lot One | $150 | $12 |
| Bugis Junction, Funan, IMM, Junction 8, Plaza Singapura & The Atrium @ Orchard, Tampines Mall, Westgate | $180 | $15 |
Fine print: one redemption per member per day per mall, and only the first 70 to 150 redemptions per mall each day. Each receipt you combine must be at least $20, and from the $120 tier up one of them must be at least $50. Supermarket spend is excluded except at a few named stores (for example Cold Storage and Thai Supermarket at Aperia, FairPrice Finest at CQ, Scarlett at Bugis+, Lot One, Plaza Singapura and Westgate).
DBS bonus: members linked to DBS PayLah! who spend $250 in one transaction with a DBS/POSB payment method get $10 eCapitaVoucher at 20 CapitaLand malls. Only 2,250 are released each Wednesday (11, 18 and 25 Nov, and 2, 9 and 16 Dec), 13,500 in total, and supermarket spend does not count.
Stamps, prizes and the photo contest
- Bearista stamps (11 Nov to 31 Dec): complete activities in the CapitaStar app, from the quiz to linking a card and spending, and 30 stamps can be exchanged for a surprise reward. CapitaLand lists prizes from Bearista merchandise (a $9.90 reusable bag up to a $49.90 stainless steel tumbler) to up to 100,000 STAR$, worth a $100 eCapitaVoucher.
- Photo contest (to 11 Dec): post a photo with a Bearista inflatable, follow and tag @CapitaLandMallsSG, @StarbucksSG and @CapitaStarSG, and tag a friend, for a chance to be one of 8 winners of a CapitaLand-exclusive 12oz mug with Bearista plush ($36.90).
Where the Bearistas are
Brewster is at Bugis Junction (Fountain Square) and CQ @ Clarke Quay, Dasha at Bugis+ and Funan, and the eight-metre Star at Raffles City. Classic Bearistas in black caps and red aprons stand at Aperia Mall, Bedok Mall, IMM, Junction 8, Kallang Wave Mall, Lot One, Plaza Singapura, Sengkang Grand Mall, SingPost Centre, Tampines Mall and Westgate.
The free-drink quiz hunt that opened the campaign (4 to 8 November) is over; CapitaLand says its rewards were claimed within a few hours.
What this means for you
- See the full campaign and terms on CapitaLand's Brewing Up Starbucks Christmas Magic page, and key in BEARISTA in the CapitaStar app before you go.
- Pick Raffles City by 22 November if you want the Kaya Toast Cold Foam; the Bugis+ stop has a different flavour.
- Do your Christmas shopping on a weekday. The voucher tiers do not run on weekends, and the bigger malls pay $15 for $180, about 8% back.
- Buying Starbucks merch anyway? Spending $80 at the pop-up as a Rewards member gets 10% off, a 1-for-1 Venti voucher and, at $100, a pin set, which is better than a normal store visit.
