While the "Moose Bear" also known as the "Reindeer Bear" looks like a Starbucks bear - IT IS NOT. Starbucks has confirmed that this is not a Starbucks Bear at all.

The tag reads G.A.C. Cincinnati which stands for Gallerie au Chocolat. I spoke with GAC, and they confirmed that the bear was NOT issued as a Starbucks bear, but was issued for a couple of years. They said the bear may have been pitched to Starbucks, but Starbucks declined. They refer to the bear as "Plush Medium Bear in Reindeer Head".

The bear came with a Tartan Bow (Red and Green Plaid) around its neck and a bag of chocolate balls. He is sometimes seen with a Holly branch on his antler.

The G.A.C. (Gallerie au Chocolat) bears most closely resemble the Starbucks Bearista Bears. This is no surprise since GAC manufactured some of the Bearista Bears. The are really cute and would make nice playmates for your Bearista Bears, however, with the exception of the Reindeer Bear shown below, they don't command the price that the Bearista Bears do.
