Take that, Starbucks.
Dunkin' Donuts unveiled its winter holiday cups with the word "Joy" in red script surrounded by green pine branches.
The coffee-and-donut chain claims the move wasn't intended as a jab at Starbucks, which received some blowback from Christians for dropping Christmas imagery from its holiday cups.
Dunkin' has used "Joy" in similarly themed cups in previous years.
On Monday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump even suggested boycotting Starbucks over the cups.
A Starbucks representative noted in response that the company has a Christmas coffee blend available in stores all over the world.
Some on Twitter are celebrating the new DD cups...

This my FRiends, is how the free market works. And it works pretty well.
I love free market competition!
So Starbucks gets the Jews and Muslims...and Dunkin gets the Christians.
Not too hard to predict a WINNER from this.
Perhaps some Christians should have some ‘conversations about religious intolerance’ with Starbucks employees - might help them out a bit as they grow older.
Me either but then my favorite coffee is a huge cup of vanilla cappuccino at the gas station on the corner. $1.79. Lol
I know I celebrate DD cups when I see 'em.
I grew up with Dunkin Donuts and prefer their coffee when it is properly made. However too many employees let it sit on the burner too long and I too often get a cup that I have to dump out. Starbucks keeps the quality of their brewed coffee at a consistent level albeit it is an acquired taste.
As for the cups, I could not care less. The red color of Starbucks is actually quite festive. Looks like some of the ornaments on my Christmas tree.
