Get ready to fall head over heels for the most adorable holiday find of the season! Aldi just dropped a $5 gingerbread man cup that’s stealing hearts everywhere—and trust us when we say it’s even cuter than that viral Starbucks bear cup everyone’s been talking about. With its sweet smile, rosy cheeks and candy cane-striped straw, this little charmer is making morning coffee feel like a warm hug. And the best part? At under $5, you can snag one (or three!) without breaking the bank.
All about the Aldi gingerbread cup
Starting today, for just $4.99, you can purchase Aldi’s new gingerbread cup in stores. Picture yourself starting your day with this delightful gingerbread man-shaped tumbler in a warm caramel hue with the sweetest smile, blushing cheeks and adorable little buttons lining his torso. The gold caps on the 9-ounce glass resemble the top of an ornament, and each cup comes with a red and white striped straw that looks like a candy cane. With the craze that followed the Starbucks bear cup earlier this month, Aldi has already begun poking fun at its cup competitor on social media. “Who did it better?” they wrote in the caption of a post on Instagram. “For just $4.99, this lil diva could be yours. Coffee at home has never tasted (or looked) so good.”

This “little diva” is already the talk of the town, and people have taken to the comments of Aldi’s Instagram posts to share their thoughts. “Well played Aldi, well played. I work at Starbucks. I’m still traumatized from last Thursday and the teddy bear cups,” said one comment. “It’s so much cuter than the bear!!,” raved another. The downside of these adorable glasses going viral? They’re already selling out. “I stopped by my Aldi at 10 a.m. today after dropping my son off at preschool and I got the very last gingerbread man cup on the shelf. How did they possibly go so quickly?! They also had other cute options, a Christmas tree and an ornament, but all the gingerbread men were gone except one.”
