Christmas in Manchester Christmas Mugs

Four Christmas mugs showing off the two designs for 2025. One is dark and the other is white. Both show stylised market stalls, buildings and a small van against a snowy backdrop.

 

Manchester's Christmas Markets are renowned for the fabulous mugs - every year a new design adorns the delicious hot drinks. The concept is very green and means that - over the years - we've saved millions of disposable mugs from going to landfill.

This is how it works: 

  • Pay the deposit of £3.50 on top of the price of your drink. 
  • Enjoy your hot chocolate, gluhwein or coffee. 
  • Option a: keep the mug as a souvenir 
  • Option b: return it to any participating outlet on any of the 10 market sites for a full refund of your £3.50 

The deposit on 'glasses' for other drinks is £2 (they're not made of glass!)
