Christmas Mug Options from $8.90
Classic Photo Mug
From $8.90
Ceramic, 11oz, your photo printed straight onto the mug. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Panorama Print
From $11.90
The image wraps the whole mug rather than sitting on one side of the handle.
What Makes a Good Christmas Mug
A Christmas mug works as a gift because it gets used. Unlike an ornament that comes out for four weeks, a mug sits in the cupboard and is picked up most mornings, which means the photo on it is seen year round.
Ours are 100% ceramic at 11oz, the standard American coffee size, at 3 3/4 inches tall with a 3 inch diameter. The print is applied by thermosublimation, so the image becomes part of the glaze rather than sitting on top of it. That is why the classic mugs show no visible change after 125 dishwasher cycles. They are food safe and tested for heavy metals.
The classic mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave. The magic mug is best washed by hand, because the heat-sensitive coating is what makes the reveal work and hand washing is what keeps it working.
What to Put on Your Christmas Mug
Family photos
A mug with the grandchildren on it is the most ordered photo mug we print at Christmas. It is the gift that gets picked up every morning rather than put in a drawer.
Pets
A dog or a cat on a mug reads as funny and affectionate at once. Pets photograph well on a curved surface because the face fills the frame.
Office Secret Santa
Under $10, personal without being awkward, and genuinely used at a desk. A photo mug clears the usual Secret Santa budget and still looks considered.
Which Christmas Mug Should You Choose?
| Mug | Best for | From |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Photo Mug | An everyday gift that goes in the dishwasher | $8.90 |
| Classic with design templates | Several photos laid out on one mug | $8.90 |
| Magic Photo Mug | A reveal moment when the first hot drink goes in | $10.90 |
| Panorama print | Group shots and wide photos needing the full circumference | $11.90 |
How to Order Your Christmas Mug
Creating a custom Christmas mug takes a few minutes from any device.
1. Upload your photo
Pick any picture from your phone or computer. 72 dpi is enough for a mug, so almost any photo from the last decade will work without adjustment.
2. Choose your mug and layout
Classic or magic, and whether the photo sits beside the handle or wraps the whole mug. Design templates are there if you want several photos on one.
3. Check the preview and order
You see exactly how it will print before you pay, and the editor warns you if an image is too small for the placement you picked.
Christmas Mug Ideas
A set for the family
Order one mug per person with a different photo on each. They cost the same individually, so a set of four is simply four orders of the same product.
A year in mugs
One photo from each of the last few Christmases turns a shelf of mugs into a record of the years rather than a set of matching cups.
Pair it with something small
A mug alongside a photo puzzle makes a complete gift for under $25, which is the usual ceiling for an office exchange.
Christmas Mug FAQs
-
From $8.90 for a Classic Photo Mug, or $10.90 for a Magic Photo Mug. Panorama printing, where the image wraps the whole mug, starts at $11.90.
-
The classic mugs are, including the design template versions, and they show no visible change after 125 dishwasher cycles. We recommend washing the Magic Photo Mug by hand instead, so the heat-sensitive layer that creates the reveal lasts as long as possible.
-
The classic mugs can be used safely in the microwave. The Magic Photo Mug is the exception, and we recommend hand washing it and keeping it out of the microwave to protect the coating.
-
It is coated with a thermochromic, or heat-sensitive, layer, so at room temperature it looks plain black. Pouring in a hot drink activates the coating and it peels back to reveal your photo. The effect repeats every time the mug is filled.
-
All our personalized mugs are one size: 3 3/4 inches tall with a 3 inch diameter, holding 11oz, which is 325 ml. That is the standard American coffee mug size.
-
72 dpi is enough for a mug, so almost any phone photo from the last decade will work. A sharper original still prints better, and the editor warns you if an image is too small for the placement you have chosen.
-
Yes, choose the panorama option from $11.90. It wraps the full circumference rather than sitting beside the handle, which suits group photos and wide scenes that would otherwise be cropped.
-
As many as you like, each with a different photo, because every mug is priced individually. Shipping is free once your order passes $75, and $8.90 nationwide below that.
-
Production takes 1 to 4 business days and shipping to the contiguous United States takes another 1 to 4, so order by mid-December to be safe. Check our shipping page for this year's exact cutoff.
-
Yes. Our mugs are food safe and tested for heavy metals. The photo is applied by thermosublimation, so the image sits within the glaze rather than on the surface you drink from.
Custom Christmas Mugs for Everyone on Your List
Personalized Christmas mugs work across a gift list in a way most presents do not, because the same product suits a parent, a colleague and a child once the photo changes.
Christmas mugs for mom and grandma
A photo of the family is the most requested design we print for parents and grandparents. A recent group shot on a custom photo mug lands better than a posed portrait.
Christmas mugs for dad
Pets, cars, fishing trips, a photo from a day out during the year. A mug is a low-risk gift for someone difficult to buy for, because the object is ordinary and the photo is the part that means something.
Christmas mugs for coworkers
Under $10 and personal, which is what makes photo mugs work for Secret Santa and office exchanges. An inside joke from the year prints as well as a face.
Christmas mugs for kids
Magic mugs land well with children because of the reveal. Browse the rest of our photo gifts if you want to build a set around one.
A mug is rarely the only thing under the tree. We print Christmas puzzles, Christmas pillows, Christmas blankets and Christmas wall art from the same photos.
