Starbucks has released their 2017 holiday cup! This year, Starbucks has unveiled its first colour-in holiday cup. The cup design starts with a pair of hands holding red cups of coffee, an ode to cups of years past, connected with swirling ribbons with lively holiday scenes and splashes of red and green.
âThis yearâs cup is intentionally designed to encourage our customers to add their own colour and illustrations,â said Leanne Fremar, executive creative director for Starbucks. âWe love the idea of everyone making this yearâs cup their own.â
Starbucks has marked the arrival of the holidays with specially designed red cups since 1997, becoming a symbol itself of the season. This year, Starbucks Canada will serve beverages in the new holiday cups, including returning favourites such as Chestnut Praline Latte, Caramel BrulĂŠe Latte and Peppermint Mocha.
The seasonâs ‘cup sleeve’ for hot beverages is red with an invitation to âGive Good,â which is the theme for this yearâs holiday campaign. âGiving good can be as small as someone opening the door for you, or recognizing the people that enrich your life â your childâs teacher, a caregiver, a family friend,â Fremar said. âThe holidays are a time to celebrate all the good we give to each other and our community.â

General Mills has announced that it will voluntarily remove the “gluten free” label from Cheerios cereal sold in Canada. “The change we are making is simply to remove the gluten-free label from future boxes,” General Mills spokesperson Mike Siemienas said said. “There is not any health risk with the products currently on the shelf.”
Cheerios were first labelled gluten free in August 2016 but The Canadian Celiac Association has been warning people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity not to consume it. The disagreement over whether Cheerios can be safely labelled as gluten free highlights the complexities of gluten testing and how to avoid cross-contamination between grains. Cheerios are made with 100 percent natural whole grain oats, which are gluten free. However, the grain is at high risk for contamination from gluten-filled wheat, barley or rye unless a strict protocol to ensure the oats are pure is followed – from the farmer’s field right through the manufacturing process.
That said, General Mills stands by its testing process and said Cheerios sold in the U.S. will continue to carry the gluten-free label.
