Still pissed about Starbucks' lack of holiday décor on their minimalist red holiday cups? You're in luck! Just stop drinking their coffee!

Oh, you still need caffeine? We understand. We get it. Well, in that case, you might find Dunkin' Donuts holiday cups a bit more up your Christmas-covered alley.

DD has started serving its beverages in holiday-themed cups, and compared to Starbucks' ombré aesthetic, it's quite cheery:

Customers have been sharing photos of the cups on Instagram and Twitter, showing off the red and green lettering, the wreaths and the word "Joy" written in festive cursive.

Naturally, those who are boycotting Starbucks over its containers are ecstatic and believe it's Dunkin' Donuts way of snubbing those red cups:

Ooooooo Shots Fired!!! GG Dunkin wins!! #shotsfired #holidaycup #christmas #starbucks #dunkindonuts #cups #festive #gg #goodgame

We highly doubt this is any kind of direct response to Starbucks' red cup, because Dunkin' Donuts probably picked the design months ago, long before this controversial brouhaha. But if you choose to drink Dunkin' coffee because you think they celebrated the holiday season "better," that's your prerogative. As long as you're getting your doctor recommended daily dose of 4 cups of caffeine.*

*No doctor has ever recommended that.

While the Starbucks situation has taken over social media, both with the hashtags #MerryChristmasStarbucks and #ItsJustaCup, the company has released a statement insisting that the design has nothing to do with taking a stance on the holiday season.

"In response to the video, our core values as a company is to create a culture of belonging, inclusion and diversity," a Starbucks spokesperson told E! News. "Each year during the holidays we aim to bring our customers an experience that inspires the spirit of the season and we will continue to embrace and welcome customers from all backgrounds and religions in our stores around the world."

Well, now we all have some options. If you want a beverage in a cup that says "Joy," go to Dunkin' Donuts. If you want a trendy red cup with your caffeine, go to Starbucks. If you want a Venti non-fat half-caf soy latte with caramel drizzle at the bottom at 120 degrees exactly, you'd better not be in line in front of us.
