Dunkin’ Donuts releases festive holiday cups following Starbucks cup controversy

The company chose to decorate its iconic red holiday cups with more generic holiday symbols such as Christmas trees, which is in no way a Christian symbolism, and snowflakes.

Starbucks is under fire from a few Christians for releasing minimalistic red holiday cups earlier this month.

They said Dunkin’ did “what Starbucks should have done” – reigniting the Great Starbucks Holiday Cup Controversy of 2015.

“I don’t remember Starbucks ever being a Christian company, do you?”

The coffee company has received criticism for allegedly trying to secularize Christmas after it announced that this year it would be providing a solid red cup for the holidays. Last week a man named Joshua Feuerstein posted a video on Facebook complaining about the lack of Christmas on his cup, triggering the 2015 incarnation of what is now an annual “war on Christmas” controversy.

Children in Third World countries die every day of starvation, and we are fighting about the design on a Starbucks coffee cup. We said farewell to Starbucks’ beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte (see ya next fall!) and are now entering a season taken over by the Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread Latte.

“Never once have I criticized someone’s beliefs, but Christmas is not about materialistic things like cups”, Starbucks barista Miranda Dowell said.

“I don’t care what they put on their cups”, he added. He also called on people to give their name at Starbucks as “Merry Christmas” while in an attempt “trick” Starbucks baristas into saying the greeting.

According to The State Press, Red Cups of the previous years all share the Christmas time vibes, containing the winter-themed doodles of flickering lights, reindeers and everything commemorative of Christ’s birth. I don’t care. By the way: That’s the end of that lease.

During his own possible presidency, Trump promised, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying “Merry Christmas” again”.

“We’re embracing the simplicity and the quietness of it”, says Field.
