When I sit down to watch Wicked: For Good in the movie theater this November 21, I'll have a big bucket of popcorn and a water ready—and how convenient it is with Stanley's new limited-edition Wicked: For Good collection coming out. It includes three cups inspired by Part Two of the Wicked movie and launches on Target's website on October 26 at 3 a.m. ET and at Target's physical locations that same day.
Stanley x 'Wicked' Glinda for Good H2.0 Flowstate Quencher Tumbler
Stanley collaborated with the Wicked film last year, and only released two cups, one of which was pink for Glinda (played by Ariana Grande) and another was green for Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo). This year's collection includes three new cups: a dreamy pink and purple with a hidden tiara under the handle for Glinda, a chrome-looking green and black cup with a gold witch's hat under the handle for Elphaba, and a pink cup with designs of different characters and items from the film.
Last year, there was a bit of chaos in Target stores as people rushed to buy the two cups after they sold out extremely quickly online. People uploaded TikTok videos showing the chaos that ensued as customers tried to get their hands on them. A TikTok from @colleenandmaurmi went viral claiming "there was nearly a brawl" as people tried to get the cups at Target before they sold out.
We expect this year's collection to sell out just as fast, so be sure to set your alarms (and try not to hit snooze!), unless you're prepared to face the chaos in Target this Sunday. And if you think people won't get up early, think again: "I can't believe I woke up at 7 am to wait in line for a cup," said @missamander in a TikTok video from last year.
If you're curious about what our Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Lab thinks about the viral tumblers, overall, they like the Stanley's Quencher tumbler's ability to retain temperature well and that it's easy to drink from.
Wicked: For Good will be hitting theaters in the U.S. on November 21. There are tons more collections with the film that are either already released or will be soon (I counted up to 72!). While we love all the collections, these Stanley cups are most likely going to be the biggest hit. So, if you want a Wicked-inspired cup with you at the movie theaters, buckle up for Sunday.
