Evangelical group promotes Dunkin’ Donuts ‘Joy’ cups, slams Starbucks’ red design

This year’s design is simplistic: a gradient from bright red to dark cranberry, with no patterns or designs, yet it seems to be the most controversial topic in the news recently. Which I realize after reading Robin Shreeves on sister site MNN, was a huge missed opportunity. “And now Starbucks customers are disappointed that instead of an ultra-Christmasy cup, they’re getting one of these”.

The only thing on the red cup is the company’s famous green logo.

I’m not a Starbucks devotee, but I like the red cups MUCH better than those other images which detract from Jesus Christ and conflate the celebration of His birth with American consumerism, childhood fantasy, and science fiction. If we are not careful, we will become the proverbial “boy who cried wolf”.

The cup arrives during a time that a few would consider to be ‘perfect.’ Their release comes after a Facebook video sent out an alert that Starbucks removed its elaborate Christmas decor. People will go more to the coffee shops more to get their hands on the cup.

“Did you read about Starbucks?”. The growing sensitivity of over the fear that Christianity is under attack in America is an easy fear to feed with a story about the new Starbucks holiday cup.

Earlier this week, Starbucks addressed the new, simple design, saying it was a way for customers to “create their own stories with a red cup that mimics a blank canvas”.

While neither of the cups explicitly says “Merry Christmas”, Dunkin’ Donuts made a clear effort to bring a spirited design to the table. “Maybe we should boycott Starbucks?”.

“If you hate Starbucks due to their cups, unfollow me”.

Bure-who starred as D.J. Tanner on Full House and is now a co-host on The View, representing more conservative viewpoints-has always been vocal about her conservative values and her Christian faith. “No more merry Christmas on Starbucks”, Trump said on Monday evening during the pre-debate rally in Springfield, Illinois.
