Over the weekend, what seemed to be a leaked photo of this year’s Starbucks holiday cup went viral on Imgur and everyone thought they were in on a big secret.
In the same way that the pumpkin spice latte signals the beginning of fall, the arrival of the Starbucks red cup signals the start holiday season.
But for as many people who are obsessed with "red cup season," there are just as many who hate it and find it to be exclusive to certain religious
groups.
Well, that might all be changing: This year, the "red" cups are actually green.
It’s not red, it’s green - and even better, the cup is all about inclusiveness. *Starbucks mic drop*.
Starbucks chariman and CEO Howard Schultz said that the cup - which has an illustration of a large group of diverse people standing closely together -
is a reminder of our "shared values, and the need to be good to each other." He also said that during a hostile time in our country (hello, 2016 election) the cup was created as a symbol of unity.
