Aren’t these holiday mugs adorable? I’m trying to decide between a set or collection of different designs instead to make it more fun. What do you prefer? Either way, I know I can’t go wrong!
Mug Christmas Gift
Of course, tasteful mugs make great Christmas gifts too. Add a packet or two of hot chocolate mix (or hot chocolate bomb), a pretty spoon and wrap it up. Or, for tea lovers, add a few tea bags, a mini gingerbread mug hugger and spoon.
As an option, put together a mug gift basket with collection of favourite hot drink mixes and mugs.
You can even find hot cocoa spoons, Christmas marshmallows and more (shop below). Be creative!
Gifts in a mug are an easy and inexpensive idea for teachers, coworkers, neighbours, friends and more. Keep the recipients in mind to create something they’ll enjoy.
Hot Drink Recipes
Looking for hot drink ideas to enjoy in your new holiday mug? You’ll love these delicious recipes for lattes, hot chocolate, spiked cider and more.
Toasted Marshmallow Mocha
Love the flavour of toasted marshmallows? This homemade creamer is the perfect way to add a frothy, marshmallowy twist to a mocha or hot chocolate.
Strawberry Hot Chocolate
Make a healthier pink hot chocolate with fresh strawberries, white chocolate, milk and other simple ingredients. It’s creamy, delicious and so pretty!
Pumpkin Spice Latte with Real Pumpkin
Enjoy this deliciously creamy pumpkin spice latte at home. Made with your favourite milk, pumpkin butter, vanilla and coffee, all topped off with maple whipped cream and cinnamon. It’s goodness in a mug!
Lavender London Fog Latte
This tea latte is creamy, frothy and sweet, with notes of citrus and bergamot. The subtle hint of lavender not only lifts the overall flavour of this hot milk drink, but makes it pretty and calming too.
Dried Mint Tea
Use dried mint leaves to brew a flavourful cup of hot tea. Naturally caffeine-free and soothing on the tummy, this is my go-to drink in the evening all winter long.
Spiked Apple Cider
If you’re like me and love anything apple, this easy spiked apple cider cocktail is one to try. I love the subtle spices mixed with the fresh apple goodness. Here, it’s shown cold, but it’s even better served hot on chilly days.
For more hot drinks, be sure to check out these milk frother recipes and this white chocolate pumpkin pie steamer.
