Social media is divided over the latest holiday hot topic: the Starbucks red holiday cup.
Former pastor Joshua Feuerstein posted a video sharing his disappointment in Starbucks' changed red cups.
"Instead of simply boycotting, why don't we just start a movement?" Feuerstein says in the video.
He goes on to urge people to say their name is "Merry Christmas" when ordering a drink at Starbucks so that baristas have to say the words to them and bring Christmas to the plain cups.
Starbucks REMOVED CHRISTMAS from their cups because they hate Jesus ... SO I PRANKED THEM ... and they HATE IT!!!! #shareUse #MERRYCHRISTMASSTARBUCKSFollow --> Joshua Feuerstein
