Starbucks Holiday Cup Controversy

According to knowyourmemes.com, Starbucks Red Holiday Cup Controversy refers to the backlash directed toward the Starbucks coffee company for their 2015 red holiday cup design, which some Christians found offensive for not including traditional Christmas imagery. The cup drew social media backlash, as conservatives accused Starbucks of attempting to push a liberal agenda, while others were upset that the cup, which they interpreted as a "holiday"-themed cup despite no indication of that from Starbucks, did not feature any mention of Christmas. On November 8th, 2015 Starbucks released a statement about the cup design, claiming it was created to provide a "blank canvas" for customers to doodle on.
