Starbucks just rolled out their new holiday cups and they went with a clean red design with the green Starbucks logo.
In the past they’ve had snowflakes, a dog sled, a snowman, or ornaments, etc.
Well some people are OUTRAGED at the lack of any Christmas stuff on the cups claiming it as a sign that Starbucks has joined the ‘War on Christmas.’… Seriously?
The decorations on their cups were mostly generic winter stuff and you could argue that they just went minimalistic this year which is a trend in modern design.
There was even a topic trending on Twitter and Facebook this weekend to tell your barista your name is “Merry Christmas” so that they would write it on your cup.
It seems like if you really want to stick it to Starbucks….. getting #MerryChristmasStarbucks to trend is the WORST way to do it. Brands pay millions for sponsored hashtags and you just gave it to Starbucks for free.
