Starbucks Red Cup

Calling all coffee lovers (again). Everyone knows the Pumpkin Spice Latte is the biggest thing to happen every Fall, but the reveal of the Starbucks red cup is the biggest event of the holiday season. 

Everyone knows that the reveal of the Starbucks red cup signifies the start of the holiday season with its beautiful winter designs and classic look, but no one expected a controversy to blow up about this. In 2015, Starbucks fans criticized that the evolution of the designs, which have gone from reindeer and ornaments to snowflakes, are a war on Christmas. As a result, Starbucks ended their designs by releasing a plain red cup for the 2015 holiday season. 

But has Starbucks decide to add holiday designs back to their cups? Recently a Starbucks employee peeked at the new red cup, which isn't supposed to come out until November 10th, and released a sneak peak to the public. Whether you're getting the infamous Peppermint Mocha or a regular cup of joe, you can show off the simple, yet elegant holiday design consisting of leaves, berries, and birds.

Personally, I think this is very appropriate for the Holiday season no matter what people choose to celebrate. Starbucks is only trying to turn their designs into something more neutral and accepting, but only time will tell if this new design causes an uproar.
