2016 Starbucks holiday cups

Starbucks

Fans anticipating the unveiling of this year’s holiday cup from Starbucks were rewarded with 13 different designs created by the chain’s more artistic customers. About 1,200 people submitted their designs for the cup in an Instagram contest last year and most of the winning pictures include traditional Christmas images including reindeer, Santa and snowflakes.

The Starbucks story ranked first with readers this week, followed by the news of ALDI’s new humorous commercials, which star consumers comparing their favorite brand name ice cream, chips, cheese and other items with the grocer’s comparable private-label products.
