The View and Full House star Candace Cameron Bure has one question for those calling on a boycott of Starbucks over its holiday cut design. She shared that question in an Instragram post on Monday.
“I don’t remember Starbucks ever being a Christian company, do you?” Bure wrote. “Starbucks War on Christmas?” she added. “It’s a red cup, folks. Until Starbucks puts a baby Jesus or nativity scene on the cup while saying Merry Christmas, then pulls it because they say it’s offensive, let’s talk.”
In Christmases past, Starbucks has put different holiday designs on their cups to celebrate the season including snowflakes, Christmas trees, and reindeer.
Starbucks decided to go with a minimalist approach this year telling Fox News that “its plain red cup design was simply intended to be a blank slate where customers could create their own holiday story.”
Bure is not too concerned about the change. “I will joyfully sip on my Starbucks coffee, in a plain red cup, and instead of complaining about the lack of decorations, I will lovingly share the good news of Jesus Christ with friends and co-workers or anyone who’s willing to engage in conversation. Merry Christmas to all!” she wrote.
Donald Trump has been a strong advocate for wanting to see the phrase “Merry Christmas” returned more prominently to the season among retailers and the population in general. He expressed displeasure in Starbucks’ decision, apparently seeing it as a move in the opposite direction.
“I have one of the most successful Starbucks in Trump Tower,” Trump told a campaign rally crowd in Illinois Monday night. “Maybe we should boycott Starbucks? I don’t know. Seriously, I don’t care. By the way, that’s the end of that lease but who cares.”
Trump added, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you.”
