In Australia, the real Christmas star isn’t the turkey. It’s the prawns. This Christmas Prawn Mug gives that humble crustacean the festive moment it deserves: one chilled-out prawn in a Santa hat, mirrored sunnies and a very cold beer, ready to celebrate.
He’s cheeky, he’s cheerful and he’s dressed for 35 degrees. Around him you’ll spot a lemon wedge, a sprig of holly and a few little sparkles, because no seafood platter is complete without a squeeze of citrus.
Why this Christmas prawn mug is so Aussie
Ask anyone what’s on the table on the 25th and you’ll hear the same answer: fresh prawns, ham, pavlova and something cold in the esky. This mug puts that whole vibe on your morning brew.
The colours are warm and punchy, the outlines are clean and the scene sits right in the middle of the mug. It’s easy to spot from the other side of the kitchen and hard not to smile at.
Planning the big day menu? The team at Sydney Fish Market is a great place to start for seafood ideas. Then pour yourself a coffee and let your prawn mate supervise.
The idea behind the design
We wanted a Christmas mug for people who love the silly season but couldn’t tell you the last time they saw snow. So we skipped the reindeer and went straight to the star of the Aussie feast.
The sunnies and the beer say relaxed. The Santa hat says festive. Together they say “summer Christmas, done properly”.
What you’re getting
- Material: Glossy white ceramic with a comfy handle that’s easy to hold
- Size: A roomy 11oz, or roughly 325mL, which is plenty for a big cuppa
- Print: A full-colour design, printed right here in Australia
- Cleaning: Safe for the dishwasher and microwave, so it survives the whole holiday season
The print is made to stay bright wash after wash. The prawn will still be smiling long after the last of the leftovers are gone.
Who is the Christmas prawn mug for?
It suits just about anyone who thinks Christmas lunch should involve a seafood platter and a swim afterwards. Try it for:
- A Secret Santa gift that’s a bit different from the usual chocolates
- Seafood fans who count down to prawn season all year
- Mates, dads and uncles who turn up to Christmas lunch in shorts and thongs
- Family overseas who need proof that Christmas Down Under looks very different
- Yourself, because a festive coffee is a fine way to start the day
Slip it into a stocking or pair it with a jar of cocktail sauce for a gift that gets a laugh. It’s a mug that works on the 26th of December just as well as the 25th.
