An adorable range of Year of the Rabbit cups has arrived at Starbucks which will have you rushing to your local store.

The three cups are available to buy at Starbucks branches across America and Target stores ahead of Lunar New Year.

This year, the festival begins on Sunday, January 22 and ends on Wednesday, February 1, concluding the Year of the Tiger.

Starbucks’ new merch collection is covered in bunnies to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, and it’s expected to sell out really quick…

The collection includes three different rabbit-design cups that all follow a pretty pink theme.

There’s a venti straw cup in a metallic hot pink with a sweet bunny picture at the bottom, and a pink hot flask with a floral and rabbit design.

However, the star of the show is a totally adorable white bunny mug with a pink interior and bunny ears that stick over the top of the cup.

On the front is a charming bunny face and the same floral design that features on the hot cup. See all of them below:

As well as the cup range, Starbucks has also launched some Year of the Rabbit-themed gift cards to give to friends and family.

The cards, which can be loaded with any amount, are red and yellow and feature a sweet white bunny next to a flower to honor Lunar New Year.

Lunar New Year is not just about welcoming the new year but also wishing wealth and prosperity on others and people often say ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai’ which means ‘wishing you enlarge your wealth’.

A popular Chinese New Year tradition involves giving red envelopes containing money as a gift for children or elderly people.

The three pink cups are available in the United States, but Starbucks stores in Japan have even more Lunar New Year cups on offer.

There are four adorable rabbit mugs, a cup with a rabbit whipped cream lid, two Japan-themed cups, a red hot cup with a rabbit on top and a silver flask.
