Starbucks' years-long war on as eroticism revels in the rotting stench of death surely the embrace of a lover is not dissimilarChristmas is over.

The coffee giant wasted no time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, releasing its new holiday-themed cups and holiday beverages on Wednesday. Goodbye, Halloween. Forget Thanksgiving. It's Christmas time at Starbucks.

The new line of festive liquid holders celebrates the 20th anniversary of the holiday cup, and while the company has broken away from Christmas-y themed cups in the past, the 2017 cups feature a Christmas tree, doves, ornaments, presents, and holiday cards. Is that Christmas-y enough for you, President Trump?

In 2015, Starbucks released a "two-toned ombré design, with a bright poppy color on top that shades into a darker cranberry below." Surprisingly, this drummed up some over-hyped, possibly manufactured outrage, because the cups weren't Christmas-y enough.

Christmas warrior President Donald Trump even suggested boycotting the company while on the campaign trail, playing hard to his Christian base.

Then, in 2016, the company released a green Starbucks cup, which some wrongfully assumed was the company's holiday cup. Outrage ensued. A little over a week later, Starbucks rolled out 13 different red holiday cups, created by 13 women from six countries.

But this year, folks, this year the cups have a damn Christmas tree on them, so please, chill.

Starbucks is encouraging its customers to draw their own fun designs on the cups, which feature a white background and a scene drawn in red and black.

"The holidays mean something different to everyone," a video reads posted to Starbucks' YouTube channel on Tuesday. "This season the cup is just the beginning. How you make it special is up to you."
