I am a bit obsessed with vintage Santa mugs at the moment. Not just the mugs really jugs or cookie jars would do too. They are great to display or to use for a Christmas themed hot chocolate bar. The best Santa Mugs don’t need to be old but vintage inspired modern mugs can work too. I have rounded up the Best Santa Mugs so that you can start or add to your collection.
The Best Santa Mugs
- Joy of Christmas Tall Santa Mug – this is a modern mug set. I like that this is a bit different than the rest and isn’t just a Santa head but his full body.
- Hand Painted stoneware Santa Claus Mug – This one looks vintage but it isn’t. I love the expression on Santa’s face!
- 1960 winking Santa mug – Love the whimsical look of this mug. It is a bit taller than your average Santa Mug making it a bit more unique.
- Mid-century Santa mugs – This is a set of two mid century Santa mugs. This Santa looks a bit sleepy.
- Retro Santa Cookie Jar – This is another looks vintage but it isn’t. This guy has a fun an whimsical look and would be a great addition to a hot chocolate bar if you wanted to offer cookies too!
- Dietrich Santa Coffee Mug – This is another modern set that feels free of any embellishment.
- Santa Claus Ceramic Mugs – This is the modern set that really made me start wanting to collect Santa Mugs. The set of four varies from winking to non winking Santas. You can also buy them individually.
- Josef Vintage Santa set – this is a set of 5. A mix of mugs and a jug. This set is in excellent condition but it also highlights that these vintage Santa Mugs aren’t cheap!
- Jolly Santa Hand painted mug – this is the least expensive option I believe of the whole round up. It does come across as more basic than the rest but if you are looking for somewhere to start without breaking the bank this is a great option.
If you are local to Waterloo Region I have had luck at Pretty Vintage Cambridge. They do a Holiday Shoppe with lots of great vintage every year. If you know of somewhere near you that does great Holiday vintage please share in the comments.
Also consider other mugs you could collect like Snowmen or Gingerbread Men.
Do you collect Vintage or modern Christmas Mugs?
