Christmas Controversy

As the holiday season is just around the corner, the controversy to be politically correct isn’t too far behind. The well-known coffee franchise, Starbucks, has been the talk of this approaching season. Each November, the company releases red cups that are intended to resemble Christmas. Well, that’s precisely the issue this time around. Starbucks is being criticized because some people feel that their cups do not embody the true Christmas spirit.

Nonetheless, not all coffee lovers are taken aback by this. Some consumers aren’t interested or concerned, as they just want the coffee they love while others simply anticipate the red cups. According to Starbucks, “within the first 48 hours of red Starbucks cups launching last year, a photo of a Starbucks holiday cup was shared on Instagram every 14 seconds.” As most of the nation aims at being politically correct about pretty much everything, even minimalist designs on a coffee cup, Starbucks just wants to offer the best products to their consumers.
