Treat yourself or buy as a stocking filler.
A Christmas mug is not only a great addition to your kitchen cupboards, but it's a great gift idea too, whether you need a stocking filler, Secret Santa, or a Christmas Eve box filler.
Whether you want to indulge in hot chocolate before bed, enjoy some 'me time' with a cuppa before Christmas morning begins, or if you simply want to enjoy your tea advent calendar with an equally festive cup, a Christmas mug will see you through the festive season.
We've rounded up a range of Christmas mugs to suit everyone, including large mugs perfect for enjoying coffee, tea or mulled wine; space-saving stackable mugs for the whole family; and a mixture of pared-back, traditional and novelty designs. If you can't have a novelty mug at Christmas, then when can you have one? But you'll also find options that will work year-round too, if you don't want your festive mug to just be for Christmas time.
So on that note, shop a selection of the best Christmas mugs for 2023.
With a festive line-up of charming little nutcracker characters, this enamel Christmas mug is perfect for the entire family to enjoy.

You might be on the hunt for a Christmas mug that looks festive, but that you can also use all year round – if so, this is likely to be the mug for you. It's got a gold and inky blue star design so it feels appropriately celebratory, but it's not too Christmassy that you couldn't use it in the summer, either.
