Our iconic Christmas Market mugs are back for 2026.
Manchester’s famous Santa takes centre stage. Inspired by his return to the newly reopened Albert Square this Christmas, he's at the heart of this year's design.
The retro-style illustration shows Santa surrounded by presents, Christmas trees and snow. Manchester’s Town Hall Clock Tower is in the background.
There are two mugs to collect: a green Glühwein mug and a white coffee mug.
Created by our in-house design studio, the mugs are the latest in a series of collectable designs. They make the perfect souvenirs of Christmas in the city.
The new mugs are available from Christmas Market stalls across the city centre from Friday 6 November, while stocks last.
When you buy a hot drink, you’ll pay a £3.50 deposit for your mug.
You can then either keep the mug as a souvenir or return it to the stall and get your £3.50 deposit back.
Our reusable mug scheme also helps reduce waste. Over the years, it has saved thousands of disposable cups from going to landfill.
