"If I become president, we're all going to be saying
Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you. That I can tell you."
Trump's comments, on the eve of the next Republican presidential debate, is his latest rhetoric to win over Christian evangelicals who are much of the base in states like Iowa and South Carolina. Trump is grappling with Ben Carson, the other Republican front-runner and an evangelical favorite, in those two early voting states.
Starbucks said earlier that it had removed "symbols of the season" used in the past, which have included reindeer and ornaments, in favor of a simple, two-toned red cup. Some Christian leaders have long attacked secular businesses for waging a "War on Christmas" and prevented customers and employees from sharing Christmas greetings.
Trump previously pledged to his allegiance to Christmas during a campaign rally in October.
"I guarantee if I become president, we're going to be saying 'Merry Christmas' at every store," he had said.
