Starbucks Red Cup Controversy

Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and love. This year the holidays are adding some controversy for those who want to enjoy the season with a hot cup of coffee.

Every year Starbucks offers a holiday cup design. This year they chose a plain red so customers could create their own art on the cup. Unfortunately those that feel there is a war on Christmas took this as proof the company was anti-Christmas. Apparently they either didn’t remember or chose to ignore that past designs focused more on winter themes and not on traditional Christmas images.

The controversy has spread to social media with some calling for a boycott of Starbucks. Others have created the hashtag #itsjustacup to remind people that there are many more important things to focus on than the design on your coffee cup.

 

Tell us what you think; do you think Starbucks red cup is anti-Christmas or is it just a cup?
