A lot of people are weighing in on the Starbucks red cups issue, including famed talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

During "The Ellen Show" on Tuesday, DeGeneres held up the plain red Starbucks cup and poked fun of the people who believe it symbolises a "war on Christmas."

"People are mad about this cup because they are saying Starbucks is being 'anti-Christmas,'" she said. "The old cups had snowflakes and Santa's sleigh and elves, you know — all the things you find in the Bible."

In her usual sarcastic spiel, DeGeneres said the cups look "highly offensive." She continued, "I mean look at this thing. You might as well call it a 'Satan sipper.'"

Her audience laughed enthusiastically, causing DeGeneres to smile at her own joke.

She then shared the statement released by Starbucks in their defence over the holiday cups' lack of Christmas designs: "Creating a culture of belonging, inclusion and diversity is one of the core values of Starbucks, and each year during the holidays the company aims to bring customers an experience that inspires the spirit of the season. Starbucks will continue to embrace and welcome customers from all backgrounds and religions in our stores around the world."

DeGeneres was not done with the issue after that, and she even told the audience that it would be a good idea for people who are in search of the Christmas spirit to go to IHOP and "stare at your pancakes" and "see baby Jesus in there."

Some Christians thought that DeGeneres went too far with her jokes, according to The Christian Post.

"Ellen, don't joke about Jesus like that, mind your words," a YouTube user named Armeeeeeen said.

User Bkeny14 added: "I love what Ellen does for people. Personally she used too many Jesus jokes that were pretty offensive and unnecessary. I know she is a comedian but I know she would feel offended if other people made 'funny remarks' on gay people. Tolerance is not one-sided."
