Description
This white ceramic mug carries a jolly HoHoHo across its front in raised lettering, with a large embossed snowflake beneath it. Both are glazed in the same white as the body, so the pattern shows in light and shadow rather than in colour. The glaze has a gloss finish that catches the light, and the shape is soft and gently tapered, a little wider at the base than at the rim, with a generous rounded handle that leaves room for your fingers. It holds 400ml and stands 9cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep.
We see it as a mug for the whole Christmas run, from the first frosty morning to the last of the festive leftovers. At 400ml there is room for a tall coffee, a strong builder's tea or a hot chocolate with all the trimmings, so one fill goes a long way. Because the decoration is white on white, it sits quietly beside plain everyday crockery on a kitchen shelf, the breakfast table or a home office desk, and it suits a pared-back Scandi kitchen as happily as a more traditional one dressed for Christmas. It also makes a cheerful Christmas gift that is easy to wrap and welcome in almost any home.
The mug is made from ceramic, with a glossy white glaze over the whole body and the raised lettering and snowflake standing proud enough to feel under your thumb. As with most glazed ceramic, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which keeps the glaze looking bright from one December to the next. For a ready-made stocking filler, tuck a sachet of hot chocolate, a few marshmallows and a candy cane inside before you wrap it, or simply keep it by the kettle for the cosiest drink of the day.

Frequently Asked
How much does the mug hold?
It holds 400ml, which is plenty for a tall coffee, a large mug of tea or a hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.
What size is the HoHoHo mug?
It stands 9cm tall and measures 12cm wide and 9cm deep, so it sits comfortably on a desk or a crowded kitchen shelf.
What is the mug made from?
It is made from ceramic with a white gloss glaze, and the HoHoHo lettering and snowflake are raised from the surface in the same white.
Is the HoHoHo decoration coloured?
No, the HoHoHo lettering and the snowflake are embossed and glazed white like the rest of the mug, so the pattern shows in relief rather than in colour.
How should I care for this ceramic mug?
As general good practice for glazed ceramic, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth.
Does it make a good Christmas gift?
Yes, it is a cheerful Christmas gift on its own, or fill it with hot chocolate sachets and sweets for a ready-made stocking filler.
