Joshua Feuerstein, a former television and radio evangelist with more than 1.8 million followers on Facebook, took to the platform to comment on Starbucks’ new cups.
The coffee company kicked off the holiday season with it’s annual unveiling of its holiday cups, but it has a few people steaming. In fact, the choice has online outrage percolating with allegations of political correctness gone too far.
According to Starbucks’ vice president of Design & Content Jeffrey Fields, “In the past, we have told stories with our holiday cups designs”, said Fields. I just can’t even with this news!
In the past, Starbucks cups have featured an array of Christmas themes and illustrations such as snowflakes, ornaments and various winter scenes. The red ombré design emits a “distinctive dimension, fluidity and weightedness”.
“In the past, we have told stories with our holiday cups designs”.
A few still say the whole thing is ridiculous saying they are more upset that anyone would say red cups are offensive in the first place.
The statement continued: “Each year during the holidays the company aims to bring customers an experience that inspires the spirit of the season”.
“Do you realize that Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off their brand new cup?”

Feurstein encouraged others to join in his movement by taking “coffee selfies” with cups featuring the phrase “Merry Christmas” written on them and using the hashtag #MerryChristmasStarbucks.
