You want Christmas? Starbucks has your Christmas.

The holiday season of 2015 was marked by controversy over Starbucks’ plain red cup, devoid of Christmas cheer. It was, purportedly, a sign of a war on Christmas and persecution of anyone who celebrates it. One pastor notably claimed that Starbucks removed “Christmas from their cups because they hate Jesus.”
