Christmas Cookie Tin Cat Mug

This Christmas cookie cat mug looks like the blue cookie tin that turns up at every family gathering in December. You know the one: at Grandma’s house it always held sewing supplies. This tin hides a better surprise – your cat, tucked into a pleated paper cupcake liner as if it came with the assortment.

A vintage cookie tin with your cat as the treat

The whole mug is printed royal blue like a tin lid, with a gold rope border along the top and bottom rims. A cream oval plaque sits on the front. In its upper half your cat lies curled in a white cupcake liner, front paws resting on the rim; in the lower half your cat’s name appears in an elegant gold serif, with “Finest Holiday Assortment” and an “Est.” year in small type below.

On either side of the plaque, illustrated pretzel cookies, sugar-dusted rounds and swirled butter cookies sit in pleated liners, stacked in columns that carry the cookie assortment around the sides of the mug. Our example reads “Biscotti’s / Finest Holiday Assortment / Est. 2020” – you add your own cat’s name and the year they joined the family. The tin, the cookies and the label are our own invented design, so the only famous name on this vintage Christmas mug is your cat’s. Guests tend to look twice before they realize the “cookie” in the middle has whiskers.

How your mug is made

Upload a photo of your cat to see a free AI preview. The preview is an illustration only, there to show the idea. Our designers then prepare the final artwork from your original photo and check it by hand before printing. Each mug is made to order and ready to ship in about 3–5 business days; plan on about 8–12 business days from order to doorstep. Free standard shipping on every US order. For Christmas, order at least three weeks before you need it, and earlier in December. If your mug arrives damaged or misprinted, we remake it or refund you, as our returns and refunds policy explains.

Photo tips for the cupcake liner

Your cat appears curled up, with its front paws resting on the rim of the liner, so a photo of your cat lying down or in a tidy loaf works best. Pick a picture where the face is sharp and both ears are in the frame, and take it at your cat’s eye level rather than from above. Soft daylight keeps pale fur and white whiskers crisp, while flash tends to flatten a cream coat. Our guide to the best photo for a custom cat gift has more tips.

Who it suits

A personalized holiday cat mug like this suits the baker who starts cookie season in November, the cat parent who still keeps buttons in an old cookie tin, or anyone whose cat insists on supervising from the kitchen chair. Fill it with cocoa, set it next to a plate of real cookies, and see which treat gets the most attention.

The Christmas cookie cat mug also pairs nicely with the Christmas Cookie Tin Cat Tote Bag, a canvas bag with the same cookie-tin idea for hauling gifts and baking supplies. Find more Christmas gifts for cat lovers and custom cat mugs.
