Celebrate the Season with Our 30th Anniversary Christkindlmarket Mugs & Merchandise
This year’s annual mug, which can be purchased on its own or with any hot beverage at the markets, features an elegant flute-inspired shape and a pearl-white finish, a traditional symbol of a 30th anniversary. The 200ml design features a festive market scene and elements as well as fireworks celebrating the Christkindlmarket’s 30th anniversary.
It can also be purchased with hot beverages from vendors, including Glühwein for guests 21+.
Our 2026 Christmas Tree Mug is shaped like a festive evergreen and finished in a rich holiday green. A garland of miniature Christkindlmarket annual ornaments from years past wraps around the tree, celebrating 30 years of collecting and cherished holiday traditions. You can get this mug as a souvenir item or filled with hot chocolate, cider, tea, chai, and other warm seasonal beverages from our vendors at all three markets.
Both annual mugs start at $10 (empty).
For beer stein collectors, we have a special anniversary edition. Featuring an elegant flute-inspired shape and a festive Christmas-tree green finish, the half-liter stein showcases colorful market scenes, pretzels, gingerbread hearts, skyline details from all three Christkindlmarket locations, and guests celebrating together. The individual item’s price is $20 at all locations. For guests 21 and older, the stein can be purchased and filled with beer for an additional cost.
New this year is the Mini Stein Shot Cup – with potential to become a new Christkindlmarket collectors’ item. Designed in a petite 40 ml size with the character of a traditional beer stein, this collectible shot cup features the Christkindlmarket logo on one side and a charming illustration of a classic Christkindlmarket vendor booth on the other. Small in size but rich in tradition, it is a fun new addition for longtime collectors or the perfect souvenir to gift to loved ones. The Mini Stein Shot Cup is available for purchase at the Christkindlmarket information and merchandise booths at all three locations.
Whether you are collecting, gifting, or just enjoying a warm drink, these anniversary keepsakes celebrate 30 years of Christkindlmarket magic.
Snow Globe Ornament Celebrating 30 Years
This year’s annual Christkindlmarket ornament is inspired by a classic snow globe and celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Christkindlmarket in one festive keepsake. Glassblown in Poland and individually hand-painted, the limited-edition ornament features the mascot of the market – the Christkind, a decorated Christmas tree, and festive green garland inspired by this year’s anniversary collection.
The front and back artwork create a unique snow globe scene, while special anniversary details throughout the design celebrate 30 years of memories, traditions, and holiday magic at the Christkindlmarket.
Designed by our team and brought to life by Chicago Ornament Company, a beloved long-term Christkindlmarket Chicago vendor, this ornament continues the tradition of European craftsmanship.
Priced at $42, it is a beautiful way to celebrate 30 years of Christkindlmarket memories and add a touch of holiday magic to your tree.
