How to Style Your Christmas Mugs
-
Create a hot-chocolate station: Arrange your mugs on a rattan serving tray next to jars of marshmallows and cocoa. Add a 3-wick candle to bring in warmth and link to your blog How to Create a Cosy Hot Chocolate Station for Christmas.
-
Use them in your table setting: Replace regular mugs at each place setting with one of these designs. A small sprig of greenery or a cinnamon stick tucked into the handle adds an extra festive touch.
-
Display arrangements: When not in use, group two or more mugs together on open shelving beside an LED Christmas house or small wreath. They become part of your décor rather than just drinkware.
-
Gifting ideas: Pair a mug with a decorative plate, a coaster and a candle. Wrap in cellophane or place in a gift box with warm ribbon. This turns a simple mug into a thoughtful seasonal gift.
