Starbucks Will Have Nativity Cups This Christmas
Catholic Vote ^ | 11/25/16 | John White

Posted on 11/25/2016 4:27:11 AM PST by markomalley

Who saw this coming?

(By the way, if years had official questions, the official question of 2016 would be “Who saw this coming?”).

Anyway, the latest bit of 2016 shock and awe to come out of nowhere is that Starbucks will have cups featuring the Nativity this Christmas season.  Yes, that Nativity – with Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.

Check it out here.

So, just another 2016 crazy almost miracle-type thing to wonder at.

Oh tidings.

Not going to make me go for an overpriced, burnt taste, but apparently they may be starting to figure out that pissing off 70% of the country may not be worth appeasing 30% of the country.

Starbucks could give away their swill for free in a nativity cup and I would still not go there.

A good move, but its highly unlikely I will ever spend a nickel there. I’m simple, anyway. A nice strong cup of Community, black, no sugar. My cowboy coffee, lol. Starbucks barista would probably trip out if someone ordered black unsweetened coffee haha! Not the type of thing a hipster would generally drink. They need their fag pumpkin coffee

Starbucks is a “safe space” for grown up libtards. Anything at Starbucks with a Chirstian bent makes them uneasy, even if they identify themselves as Christians. However, if Starbucks offered a special “Mohammed blend” for Ramadan, the libtards would gulp it up.

Comment from the remarks at the article:
"Starbucks does not have a red nativity themed cup this year. There are 13 new cups, but the nativity cup is not one. It is in the video, but they did not actually make it into a cup that will be distributed. This article should be updated."

This is because of Donald Trump’s victory. It is soon going to be safe to say Merry Christmas again. In fact, Christmas came right up in my word choices as I was typing this. Even Apple software is getting into the festive season.

Their coffee sucks anyway. The cup isn’t going to make it taste better.

That cup is not listed in the 10 cups they present as the line they are offering. It was used in the commercial, but as far as i can tell will not be an option.

At 0:22 the say "Introducing Starsucks 2016 red cups" There are 10 of them. NO nativity scene. Lots of snowflakes, some reindeer, ornaments. NO specific Christmas cups. Apparently m1sleading article and video.

Has anyone seen an official nativity cup?

Years ago someone recommended their "Double chocolate frappucino" or something. I tried it and really like it. It had lots of whipped cream and ground up chocolate chunks that were so big they would clog up the large straw. I had about one per year, but then stopped. Had one last year. It's now "chocolaty" (fake chocolate) and has no flavor. This has an outrageous pricetage. Double Chocolaty Gag. Never again.

I didn't see that one in the array of cups they showed.

I remember Trump saying during the campaign that its “Christmas” and not all the bogus names advertisers and others make up for the Dec 25 time period. I am holding him to that. Meanwhile, Christmas is even more elusive this year than ever in tv advertising. And I won’t shop where its not used.

Hipsters drink Doppios.....a straight shot of espresso. Legally, they can’t make them bigger than a double shot. Something about too much caffeine.
