RIP to all the drinks that were spilled as folks turned over their cups to read the writing.
The final piece to this three-year puzzle that was the modern art period at Starbucks is our favorite of the three, but that’s not saying a whole lot. We can all agree that carolers are better when they aren’t interrupting your nightly Gilmore Girls binge-watch. Therefore, we knocked it down a few pegs on this list, even though we really like snow people. It looks more like it’s got something in its eye. We love a good Mid Century modern art piece, but this snowman doesn’t have much personality. Recent cup designs have spoiled us maximalists. The writing on each cup detracts from, rather than adds to, the overall aesthetic, and we want more detail. Anyway, Starbucks says this design was supposed to be a village of tea kettles and coffee pots on a nighttime sky, but we’re getting “the cat got into the passion fruit tea again.” Photo Credit: Starbucksįrom 2010 to 2012, the Starbucks Creative Studio focused on a Mid Century Modern inspired graphic style. We’d like to pour that directly into our mouths and skip this odd cup, but reportedly that violates one too many food safety rules.

Minimalism has its time and place, but the holidays are all about being gaudy. Look, we understand what Starbucks was trying to do here, and we respect it. They were pretty, and purple is the color of royalty, but it’s not so much a “holiday” color unless that holiday is Halloween. 19: Purple Cupsīefore the premiere of the red cup in 1999, Starbucks used purple shades for their holiday cups. Starbucks Red Cups Ranked From Worst to Best 25. We’re not procrastinating our holiday shopping, why do you ask? So we’ve taken it upon ourselves to rank all the designs the Starbucks Creative Studio has come up with from worst to best. The red cup designs have evolved over the years from the original candy apple red, and some of them were bigger hits than others. There was the now-infamous red cup fiasco of 2015 when the coffee giant was accused of removing all signs of Christmas from their cups in a minimalist all-red ombre design as part of the so-called “War on Christmas.”Įvery year, when they’re released, there’s a bit of hype and fanfare among fans of the coffee chain. Since the debut of the Starbucks red cups in 1999, they’ve made quite an impression.
