When Starbucks went to the Christmas season cups this year it was red with only the Starbucks logo. It 's a nice simply design that I think looks good. In years past it had stars , snowflakes and christmas trees. Every year the design is different, so this year it is a plain red cup.
Evangelicals and other groups are saying the cup should have something to relate to the christian holiday of christmas. But on the pagan calendar it is Yule. The church changed the holiday to christmas to move pagans away from their customs to the church.
Another holiday is Easter, it was a fertility festival. That is way bunnies and eggs are a part of this holiday. Also it is about rebirth of the land from a long winters sleep. Now the christians use it to celebrate Christs rising from the dead.
So if you check out the christian holidays with the history of the celebration, you may find pagan underpinnings.
