It’s the season for snuggling up on the sofa and binging on Christmas movies. All the classics will be showing on TV from White Christmas to Home Alone.

If you know someone that loves their festive films, it could be worth finding a Christmas-movie-themed gift. But just what is the perfect gift?

A warm blanket? Some popcorn maybe? These are all worthy gifts, but if you’re looking for a simple and reliable gift, a Christmas mug could be just the solution.

Why a Christmas mug? This post explains all.

Everyone loves a hot brew in winter

On a cold winter’s day, many of us love to get warm by cuddling up on the sofa with a hot drink. It could be a nice cup of tea or some instant coffee. Or it could be something a little more special like a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream.

Hot drinks are the perfect accompaniment for a Christmas movie. By getting your loved one a Christmas mug, you can help them to enjoy that much needed cuppa while watching their favourite festive films.

A Christmas mug will get you in the festive spirit

As we get older, some of us can find it harder to get into the Christmas spirit. Many of us spend so much time working or keeping up with the neverending to-do list of housework that we forget to relax and enjoy the festivities.

Just like wearing a Christmas jumper, drinking out of a Christmas mug can help us to get in the mood for Christmas – even if it’s just for five minutes while having a tea break and catching a brief snippet of Elf.

You can buy Christmas movie mugs!

Why settle for a simple Christmas mug, when you can buy a Christmas movie mug?

Such mugs are themed around Christmas movies and ideal for those that love their Yuletide classics. Getting out the Christmas movie mug could become an annual tradition while watching A Christmas Carol or The Grinch (or, if you want to be controversial, Die Hard).

Mugs make a great small practical gift

Sometimes you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a gift. A mug is a great budget gift for such an occasion.

It’s also a practical gift. We all drink hot drinks and we all need mugs to drink out of. In large households with lots of coffee drinkers and tea lovers, the more the merrier.

A mug isn’t too much of a bulky gift. This makes it an ideal stocking filler.

Because they’re small and light, mugs are also great gifts for delivering to loved ones. If you’ve got a long-distance friend or relative who loves Christmas movies, why not find a gift delivery service that you can use to send the mug directly to their address? If you’re unlikely to meet up with them in person for a few months, a home delivered gift could be a great way to ensure that they get their gift by Christmas (instead of having to give them a Christmas mug in March).
