A shelf of Christmas mugs one is red and heart-shaped

Market Mug of the Week: Würzburg (Glendy Goode (Facebook))

Glendy Goode, thank you for this photo of your Christmas market mug collection! We especially love the heart-shaped one from Würzburg, Germany, plus it’s heart handle. Check out the enchanting Würzburg Christmas market from Nov. 28–Dec. 23, 2025.

This market is nestled in the historic town square where visitors can shop against a backdrop of Baroque and Gothic architecture. Many of the stalls offer handmade items like Christmas ornaments and other regional products. There is more focus on original and local crafts, rather than typical wares.
