It's the great Starbucks Holiday Cup Debate of 2015, and it seems everyone is weighing in on the new plain red cups.

High-profile people such as Donald Trump have weighed in on the issue, arguing that Starbucks has removed Christmas from its cups, and Stephen Colbert understands why.

"I can see why people might be all frothed up about this," he said on the "Late Show" Wednesday night. "Now Starbucks is completely devoid of any trace of the holiday besides the Christmas tree ornaments, advent calendars, CDs of Christmas music, Christmas-themed gift cards, Christmas cookies, and giant displays of their Christmas Blend coffee." 

But Colbert offered up his own solution, "a cup crammed so full of Christmas, they'll be picking tinsel out of their Yule Log for months." He presented his own ornament- and tinsel-covered cup, complete with a manger scene hot-glued to the lid.
