Dunkin’ Donuts Releases Holiday-Themed Coffee Cup
They pointed to the chain’s old coffee cups, which included festive decorations.
Following the controversy about the Starbucks Christmas cup, Dunkin’ Donuts has released their holiday coffee cup featuring the word “Joy” surrounded by a wreath.
The decision to make the red cups blank received a ton of backlash, mostly from radical Christians who believe that Starbucks is beginning a “war on Christmas” by removing the festive snowmen and trees. The holiday-edition cups have drawn the ire of Christian conservatives who criticized the lack of Christmas imagery and messaging in the design. Until Starbucks puts a baby Jesus or nativity scene on the cup while saying Merry Christmas, then pulls it because they say it’s offensive, let’s talk. “No more“, Trump told supporters in IL earlier this week. However, social media users wonder if it was a deliberate attack on Starbucks plain red cup, reported USA Today.
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.
The yuletide season is here and as November hit the calendars, Starbucks released one of their greatest marketing stints, the comeback of the famous Red Cups to anticipate the celebration of Christ’s birth.
Dunkin’ Donuts unveiled its new seasonal holiday cups. He said that the Starbucks cup controversy is going to be beneficial for the company.
VP Jeffrey Fields said Starbucks “wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories”. He said it’s not about the cup, but the fact that the company is “trying to remove Christmas from Christmas”. “I don’t know. Seriously, I don’t care”, Trump said at a campaign rally. This holiday season, maybe we should be thinking about people who don’t even have the money to buy a cup of coffee instead of what the cup looks like.
