Dunkin Donuts, one of the country’s leading coffee and pastry franchises, is in hot water with Americans all over the nation after it decided to forego Christmas, seemingly labeling it a “problematic” holiday, but completely embraced Islamic holidays and, of course, Pride. This has led to a number of folks calling for a boycott against the company if it doesn’t address the situation appropriately.
A video clip of a man addressing Dunkin Donuts and its canceling Christmas has gone viral with almost a million views and thousands of comments. In the video, the man says, “Dunkin’ Donuts — rolled out a number of Ramadan specials, including ‘Eid-Credible Delights’ and ‘Happily Ever Iftar’ Meals. You also had a Ramadan specialty drink.’ They also did holiday hours for Ramadan — I also noticed that in June you had a Pride Month celebration as well as Pride donuts and even a Pride rainbow tumbler.”
It’s then noted that if you visit the official Dunkin Donuts website, you’ll see that Christmas is nowhere to be found. The holiday drinks have officially been placed on the menu, but there is no mention of Christmas anywhere. It didn’t take folks very long to catch on to the missing Christian holiday in the midst of a full embracing of Islamic traditions.
“The word ‘Christmas’ isn’t anywhere on your website or anywhere in your stores. In fact, I couldn’t believe it, so I Googled it and saw that you intentionally omit the word Christmas in your corporate materials and in your stores and on your website,” the man in the video continued. “I want to know why you have no problem using the words Ramadan and Pride, but you can’t bring yourself to use the word Christmas.”
The Wall Street Apes account on X, which shared the video, said they conducted their own research of the website and can confirm what the man in the clip is saying. The holiday drinks are out but Christmas is completely missing. The account then stated that older posts were found where the company actually told followers, “Merry Christmas!”
Once upon a time, Dunkin Donuts used to celebrate Christmas. It has ditched the traditional holiday in favor of Pride and Islam’s Ramadan. Immediately, folks responded by saying they were going to boycott the company due to its bias against Christmas. “Immediately boycotting @dunkindonuts. WTF guys? 68% of Americans are Christian. 2% are Muslim. You’re offending nearly 7/10 Americans,” one user wrote.
“I’ve always thought businesses should be free to decide what they promote, but the selective approach feels deliberate when you compare the two. Plenty of customers still expect the holiday season to include Christmas alongside everything else, especially from a place that used to acknowledge it openly. Watching the shift makes me wonder whether the marketing team is trying to avoid any pushback on one holiday while leaning into the others, and it leaves me less interested in stopping by for a coffee during the season when the branding feels incomplete,” another person said.

“So @dunkindonuts is owned by Muslims now?!? If not, they better rectify this IMMEDIATELY! According to Grok corporate businesses like Dunkin Donuts don’t use the word Merry Christmas so they don’t ‘offend anyone.’ They haven’t used it since 2016. But they don’t mind offending anyone with Ramadan or gay pride? What a terrible message. Merry Christmas Dunkin Donuts!” a user said.
WOW 🚨 Dunkin Donuts cancels Christmas but celebrates Muslim Islamic Holidays and Pride
