Christmas mugs for hot cocoa, coffee and gifts, from classic ceramic designs to insulated travel mugs and gift sets.
Nothing sets the holiday mood quite like wrapping your hands around a festive mug filled with hot cocoa or coffee. This guide reviews the top Christmas mugs available right now, so you can find the perfect cup for yourself or as a gift.
Christmas mugs are one of the easiest gifts for coworkers, teachers and friends, especially when filled with cocoa mix or candy. For your own kitchen, a matching set makes Christmas morning feel special.
Check the capacity, usually listed in ounces. A standard mug holds about 10 to 12 oz, while 16 oz and larger mugs suit people who like their cocoa topped with marshmallows and whipped cream.
Ceramic and stoneware mugs feel classic but can break. Insulated stainless steel mugs keep drinks hot for longer and work for travel. Glass mugs look good with layered drinks. As with dinnerware, mugs with metallic decoration are usually not microwave safe, so check the label. If you plan to give mugs filled with cocoa or candy, choose wide mouths and sturdy handles. Stoneware mugs keep drinks warm a little longer than thin porcelain ones.
Gift-boxed mugs save wrapping time. Pair a mug with other gifts under $25, or match your mugs to your Christmas dinnerware.
