They pretty much just keep going, ignoring it all and raking in the dough.
But here they are, bowing down to the non-existent group of nobody that are offended by a snowflake on a coffee cup. So weird. I mean those people don't even exist, but the mighty Starbucks have knuckled under to their pressure!
On the other hand, this could be (I hope it is) a wicked troll job. "Hey, I'll bet you 5 bucks we can get some morons to cry 'religious persecution' if we come out with a red coffee cup this fall".
"I'll take that bet. Nobody's that effing stupid."

Is there anyone in this group? I don't think that's what happened. It was probably a design meeting discussing the christmas cups and some people were offering up the usual snowflakes and flying deer etc. They have done all that so they tried a new take, a minimalist colour design change. That is all, no bending to the will of people who hate to see snowflakes, no anti-religious sentiment.
