I Can't Wait to Sip My Holiday Hot Cocoa From These Merry Mugs, All Under $25

Hot chocolate just tastes better from a holiday mug.

I love my kitchen. It has green walls, dozens of colorful cookbooks on the shelves, cookie sheets in shades of blueberry and raspberry, and — best of all — a cup collection that I add to every year. I’m not saying that drinking hot tea from my “Woke up Sexy as Hell Again” mug guarantees that I’ll have a good day, but I’m also not not saying that. Anything that can get me to crack a smile at 5:30 in the morning is definitely worth having in spades.

Now that the holidays are almost upon us, I can’t wait to add these always cozy, often witty, and perennially charming mugs and cups to my stockpile. Read on to shop 11 festive finds from retailers like Anthropologie , Williams Sonoma , Target , and more, all for under $25.

Christmas Tree Glass Mug

$18

While Anthropologie’s Christmas Tree Glass Mug isn’t suitable for use with hot beverages, it’s a great option when serving eggnog, wine, punch, or any other holiday cocktail you can dream up. One shopper thought it was so beautiful, they called it “a piece of art.”

Ginger Stoneware Mug

$18

Designed to look like an enchanting gingerbread house straight out of the “Hansel and Gretel” fairy tale, this Anthropologie mug is gorgeous enough to display in your home as holiday decor. And without the witch in the woods, there’s nothing and no one stopping you from sipping your favorite hot drink at your leisure.

Festive Icon Juice Glass

$16

Anthropologie’s Festive Icon Juice Glasses are holiday must-haves, according to 1,400 shoppers who love their colorful designs and seasonal motifs. One customer’s only regret was not buying an entire set from the get-go.

Pearhead Set of 2 Holiday Mugs

$13

I personally identify with these mugs because when ‘tis the season, I’m almost always showing up for the cocoa, too. Whether you’re stuffing stockings or sipping coffee on snowy mornings, this cheeky duo is likely to pave the way for a good day.

Holiday Skiers Stoneware Figural Mug

$16

Since it’s too early in the season to ski, this mug is the next best thing. It’s shaped like a mountain, crowded with skiers showing off and falling down, and covered in freshly carved tracks just like a real-life powder day. If only conditions were always this good.

Cable Knit Hat Figural Stoneware Mug

$18

While this 18-ounce cable knit hat mug won’t keep your ears from getting cold, it will keep your hot cocoa nice and warm thanks to its lid. The impressively lifelike design is dishwasher- and microwave-safe, capable of holding 18 ounces of liquid at a time, and way too cute to hide in a cabinet.

Set of 4 Sweater Gnome Ceramic Mugs

$60

$24

If your cupboards are severely lacking in holiday cheer, Pottery Barn has the solution with its 4-piece set of bearded, Christmas sweater-wearing gnome mugs. Now that the retailer has marked the festive quartet down by a whopping 60% ahead of the holidays, each gnome is just $6 apiece.

Rifle Paper Co. Hanukkah Mug

$20

You can’t spin this dreidel mug, but you’re sure to love the pastel-blue design and gorgeous hand-painted illustrations. The smaller size is just right for a kids’ cup of cocoa since a sugar rush isn’t so festive, though parents may enjoy using it themselves for espresso or tea. Plus, you’ll appreciate its sturdy, dishwasher-safe construction.

Figural Snowman Mug

$17

It’s getting colder outside, and all I want to do is sit on my couch with a steaming cup of tea in one hand, a book in the other, and my dog at my side. Between the candy cane-striped handle and the fashionably chunky scarf, this snowman is the epitome of cozy comfort and perfect for an afternoon spent inside.

Wondershop 16-Ounce Christmas Stoneware Mug

$5

I gladly volunteer as the official holiday cookie tester in my home this year to save my family from under-baked or overly-sweet treats because I’m generous like that. I’ll be adding this mug to my Target cart to make my new title official.

Holiday Time 2-Pack of Holiday Tree Ceramic Mugs

$10

With their glossy finish, frosted edges, red and green ornaments, and star-shaped toppers, Walmart’s Christmas tree mugs are perfect for a holiday tablescape. Your drinks will stay warmer for longer thanks to their removable lids and the cleanup will be virtually nonexistent since they’re dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
