It’s the family Christmas special of nightmares.

Every year, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” releases a cheerfully satirical animated Christmas cartoon in the style of the classic Rankin/Bass specials spoofing current events and, more often than not, skewers President Donald Trump. On Thursday, Dec. 19, Colbert presented his last one ever, “Colbert’s Canceled Christmas: The Last Noel,” and he didn’t hold back.

Narrated by “St. Nick Offerman,” the cartoon tells the tale of a disgruntled Trump canceling Christmas, sending ICE agents and all of his cabinet to the North Pole, bulldozing Santa’s workshop to build the new gold-plated “Trumpmas Ballroom,” and using Santa’s magic sack to collect bribes.

“Time to come sit on daddy’s lap and tell me what I’m getting,” Trump says to a long line of world leaders, tech giants, and a crane holding an airplane.

Santa and the elves? They get sent along with numerous Sesame Street characters and Franklin the Turtle to “Alligator Elfcatraz,” a parody of Florida’s controversial immigrant detention center established on the edge of the Everglades this summer.

“Round up the elves,” yells a cartoon White House adviser Stephen Miller from a helicopter. “They’re foreign invaders!”

“Throw them in prison,” says Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, posing for cameras, “and surround them with gators!”

All seems lost, until Santa discovers the secret “Elfstein List”…

Watch it below.

What is ‘Alligator Elfcatraz’?

The cartoon spoofs “Alligator Alcatraz,” the nickname for the state-run South Florida Detention Facility rushed into existence this summer in the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades. The temporary detainment site’s remote location was promoted by state Attorney General James Uthmeier, the project’s champion, who said the local alligators and pythons would help guard against escapees.

“Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide,” he added in a video to X announcing the facility.

The site, which includes an airstrip, was opened within nine days of Uthmeier’s announcement and received an approving visit from Trump. It immediately became a touchpoint in the argument over the treatment of undocumented immigrants by both the DeSantis and Trump administrations. The Florida GOP put out “Alligator Alcatraz” merch in the form of gator-themed T-shirts, hats and can koozies.

Critics accused the facility of inhumane conditions and a lack of procedure. Multiple lawsuits were filed by environmental groups, civil liberties groups and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians. In November, Native American tribes across the U.S. formally urged the federal government to close Alligator Alcatraz, claiming it infringed on tribal lands.

Less than two months after it opened, a federal judge ordered new construction stopped and blocked the transfer of any new detainees. Two weeks later, the judge ordered the state and federal government to close it up within 60 days. The state initially lost an appeal but the decision was overturned in September and the facility resumed operations.

A report from Amnesty International claimed detainees were mistreated, forced into inhumane punishments, exposed to dangerously unsanitary conditions and given inconsistent medical treatment, when it was given at all. A spokesperson from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office called the report a “politically motivated attack” and said allegations of abuse or negligence have been fully investigated and are “fabrications.”

Colbert canceled, show ending in May

Colbert’s late-night show was canceled by CBS-parent-company Paramount Global earlier this year. The company blamed rising costs, declining profits, and a viewership that was moving away from late-night shows.

The news also came just days after Colbert openly criticized Paramount’s settlement with Trump as the company sought to finalize an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires regulatory approval from the federal government.

(Colbert has offered several other theories in jest, including his short-lived moustache.)
