It's Nov. 1! That means Halloween is over, Christmas is coming, and it's finally the most wonderful time of the year: the time when people get super pissed off about Starbucks holiday cups.
On Tuesday, Starbucks announced a new limited-edition cup featuring a "mosaic of more than a hundred people drawn in one continuous stroke." As you may have noticed, it's green, unlike the traditional "red cups" the coffee company serves every year around the holidays.
There was literally no mention of the green cups being for Christmas, but people assumed they were and got reeeeally offended.
A green "holiday" cup that has nothing to do with season? Not even snowflake!?!? Over the top with "PC" don't offend anyone BS @Starbucks
RT if you think @Starbucks is trying to take Jesus out of Christmas with the new cup. Make this go viral so Starbuc… https://t.co/xd21tw3faQ
@BritandCo @Starbucks hate them. Bring back the red cups w/ the snowflakes and snowmen please tell me what that has to do with Christmas
@Starbucks FUCK YOU STARBUCKS!
Others went as far as accusing the company of "political brainwashing" and threatening to boycott.
@Starbucks Screw you. My coffee should NOT (and does NOT) come with political brainwashing. I dropped @Starbucks like a hot rock.
@Starbucks stop pushing your liberal bullshit and sell coffee. Lifelong customer becoming disgusted with the forced agenda. #HolidayCupsNow
@Starbucks ALL REPUBLICANS BOYCOTT STARBUCKS
👀
Not everyone's mad, though. Some people are just sitting back and enjoying the "war on Christmas" outrage.

Trying to figure out how I can possibly get offended by this Starbucks holiday cup. I guess someone will find a way

I'm excited for the holidays because I wanna see if white people go all crazy at Starbucks again saying they're having a war on Christmas
time for another three months of outrage because the starbucks cups dont say "december 25th is jesus' birthday and he was definitely real"
This isn't the first time people have been offended by Starbucks cups not being Christmasy enough.
But they may not be mad for long. A leaked photo, which was posted on Reddit on Thursday, appears to show what this year's holiday cups will look like.
And yes, they are red.
While Starbucks has yet to comment on this year's holiday cups, they have told concerned red cup fans on social media that their "holiday plans are still under wraps" and to "stay tuned."
