First Look: Starbucks Holiday Cups Hit the Hudson Valley

They're back!

The Hudson Valley got their first look at the new Starbucks holiday cups on Thursday and early reviews are mostly positive. In past years, the limited-time holiday cups have been known to cause outrage online for not being "Christmasy" enough.

For those of you who just can't wait until your next caffeine fix to find out what the new cups look like, here you go:

The new design features holiday themed graphics complete with a Christmas tree, reindeer and a sleigh. The worlds "Love and Joy" are also incorporated into the design.

Those who complained that last year's cups didn't recognize the holiday of Christmas should be very happy with this year's version. Of course, we'll wait for the inevitable backlash from people who think they're just too darn "Christmasy."
