Starbucks faces criticism from politicians and campaign groups today after it decided to remove all references to the festive season from its Christmas red cups, as revealed earlier on Breitbart London.
The coffee chain revealed this year’s version of its “red cups” this week – an annual tradition where it changes the colour of its cups from white to red around Christmas time, usually with a festive design.
This year, however, the chain has decided to remove all festive imagery from its cups and instead have a plain red cup.

Starbucks explained the design in a statement, saying: “Starbucks has become a place of sanctuary during the holidays. We’re embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it. It’s [a] more open way to usher in the holiday.”
But, Tory MP David Burrowes has criticised the move. He told Breitbart London: “The Starbucks coffee cup change smells more of political correctness than a consumer-led change.
“The public has a common sense grasp on the reality that at Christmas time, whether you have a Christian faith or not, Britain celebrates Christmas.”
His concerns were echoed by Christian groups who branded them “scrooges” and accused them of trying to hide the religious message behind Christmas.
Simon Calvert of the Christian Institute told Breitbart London: “What is it about Christmas that Starbucks are afraid of celebrating? Haven’t they heard it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the season of good will to ALL men? They should get involved and stop being scrooges.”
And more have piled in, with Andrea Williams of Christian Concern saying: “This is a denial of historical reality and the great Christian heritage behind the American Dream that has so benefitted Starbucks.
“This also denies the hope of Jesus Christ and His story told so powerfully at this time of year.”
No surprise here. We already know that Starbucks supports communist rule, and the destruction of Christianity is part of that agenda.
If you support Starbucks by drinking the $4 per cup sludge they call “coffee”, I hope you choke to death on your next cup. They’re the ENEMY. Stop funding them.
Amen. Exactly on point. They ARE the enemy.
Starbucks, destroying America with every cup it sells. “We are part of the plan to destroy any morals left that may be smoldering in the ash heap of American society.” said Starbucks V. P. of public relations, Dick Lickerson.
I just want to slap people that give Starbucks any business. Be sure to hold that extended pinky finger out just right to sip that shit properly, you F’N snobs! Don’t it just make you feel like going on “bitchslap” mission at the Starbucks nearest you.
Simple solution, stop giving them your money. They can move their stores to some country that doesn’t celebrate Christmas.
One more reason I had to get the hell out of L.A.
Make my own every day now. Screw Starbucks!!!
We all know that Starbucks is Communist Red anyway!
But don’t take it out on the little girl that’s working there because she can’t find a job anywhere else.
This is a fun blog…
“This brand is owned by a German Zionist Jew Howard Shultz. Starbucks is NOT a franchisee chain, rather it is totally owned–and the company has Fagin or Shylock type ethics.”
