Dunkin’ Donuts releases a festive holiday coffee cup

As reported by Vox, the coffee company has revamped the look of its red cup for the past years.

This year the cups are just red – which a few Christians allege is the secular company wringing the last bitty remains of Christmas out of the most wonderful time of year.

According to Josh, Starbucks is going against Christianity by removing the Christmas logo from the cup, but according to Pete, Christianity is about going to the shop, buying something for people and wishing them a Merry Christmas. That’s right, Starbucks is apparently anti-Christmas.

A few evangelical groups are urging a “buycott” the East-Coast-based coffee shop because the word “joy” and an image of a stylized wreath are on the coffee cups, the Boston Globe reports. Feuerstein encouraged customers to “trick” Starbucks baristas into writing “Merry Christmas” on their cups by saying the phrase instead of their real name.

Dunkin’ Donuts is here to save your Christmas, introducing a coffee cup that’s markedly more holiday-themed than its competitor’s.

“Yes, they got rid of the Christian religious symbols like snowflakes and snowmen”, Colbert said.

But many continue to add their voices to the debate that hasn’t seem to grown cold, and hastags like #MerryChristmasStarbucks, #ItsJustaCup and ChristmasBUYcot have gone viral.

Starbucks’ vice president of design and content Jeffrey Fields told US Weekly in a statement that the coffee chain is positioning itself as a place of sanctuary during the holidays.

That is a sentiment that many Christians are backing.

“We’re about to enter the magical season of getting angry that there’s not enough talk about Christmas”, Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday’s “Late Show”. One Twitter user wrote, “Dunkin” Donuts new slogan: “Dunkin’ Donuts: Jesus Doesn’t Hate Our Coffee Cups.’ #StarbucksRedCup“. “I don’t know. Seriously, I don’t care”, Trump said at a campaign rally.

Dunkin’, owned by Yum Brands, means to reflect the “happiness and spirit of the holiday season in a way that resonates with our guests”.
