Hey, everyone! Have you pre-ordered your 2025 Primitive Gatherings Holiday Mug yet? If the answer is no, I have to ask — what the heck are you waiting for!? These pretty mugs aren’t just for drinking your favorite holiday treats — they’re hand-crafted, perfectly weighted, and designed to make every sip feel special all year round!

If you haven’t seen this year’s Holiday Mug design yet, you’re in for a real treat. In years past, we only offered one option, and it was pretty much unmistakably Christmas — fun, festive, but limited to a certain time of year. This time around, we’ve stepped it up to give you a bit more variety. While the poinsettia embossed on each mug nods to the classic holiday flower, these mugs aren’t so “Christmasy” that you’ll feel awkward using them in July. Whether it’s cocoa on a snowy morning or iced coffee in the middle of summer, they’re perfectly versatile and just as delightful to use any time of year.

I’ll admit that part of the reason you get two choices this year is the fact that we couldn’t bring ourselves to pick just one color. So, for the first time ever you get to choose between two very merry styles! Whether you’re into something bright, bold, and festive or lean more toward a softer, more subtle look, we’ve got just the mug to match your holiday mood.

First up is the red version — a deep, saturated holiday red with a glossy finish that adds just the right amount of shine. Just below the rim, a gorgeous embossed poinsettia design brings a delicate, handcrafted touch. It’s classic, festive, and feels great in your hand. Plus, if you’re anything like me, you misplace whatever you’re holding as soon as you walk into a room. You couldn’t lose this beauty of a mug if you tried!

Ready to slow down and savor the upcoming holiday season? The Strawberry Shortcake version wraps your favorite beverage in cozy cream with a subtle hint of red and features the same embossed poinsettia medallion as the red version — a simple, thoughtful design that feels just right, no matter the time of year.

Most of you know these mugs tend to fly off the shelves faster than you can say “ho ho ho” every year, which is why we’ve had pre-orders open and available since July. Well, HEADS-UP!!! That is all coming to an end in a matter of hours… Pre-order sales of our 2025 Primitive Gatherings Holiday Mugs end tonight!

In other words… If you have your heart set on one of these beautiful collector’s items, don’t wait!!! As a special thanks for pre-ordering your mugs, we’re waiving the usual $5.00 extra shipping fee per mug and offering them to you for $29.50 plus our flat-rate shipping rate through the end of the day on September 16th, 2025! Mugs purchased after pre-order will be $34.50 + flat-rate shipping. PLEASE NOTE: A $15 non-refundable reservation fee is required at time of purchase, as these mugs are made just for you!

So, which one are you thinking will look the best in your coffee-drinkin’ hand? Bold and festive, or warm and laid-back? Both mugs are handcrafted right here in Wisconsin by Sunset Hill Stoneware. They hold a generous 16 ounces and are 100% lead-free, dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe (and yes, the handle really does stay cool in the microwave). Each mug is made to order and expected to ship around October 1st, 2025 — just in time to stay ahead of the holiday rush (that date is subject to change, but we’ll contact you if anything does)!

Not into big, chunky mugs? No worries! Whether you’re looking to sip in style this holiday season or just browsing for stocking stuffers for your quilty friends, there’s still time to snag your 2025 Primitive Gatherings holiday mug before the price goes up! Just click the buttons above to pre-order before the clock strikes 12!

Speaking of the time, I see it’s almost 6:00 p.m., so I should probably head out for the day. I’ll be back here on the blog tomorrow with Block #17 in the Moda Blockheads 6 series, plus later this week, the girls and I will be LIVE on my YouTube channel “STITCH with Lisa Bongean“ for our weekly dose shenanigans and fun to keep the creative energy going.
