Christmas and Santa Claus


This week's mug will finish our holiday season this year and on Christmas Day, too!  The design shows a snowy, winter's scene of snow covered houses beneath a night time sky fully circling the mug.  Two dark clouds can be seen on the right and left sides of the mug. 

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the clouds clear to reveal the words Merry Christmas in red on the right side of the mug, and Santa Claus in his sleigh on the left side of the mug. 

Color change is quick and the mug is in great condition.

Denny's Christmas Houses


This week's mug is again from Denny's Restaurants.  This features the matching 'frame' of "Denny's" in blue and red, framing a night time winter scene of houses and a cloudy sky above a set of three dark houses. 

When hot liquid is added, the clouds and houses clear to reveal a new holiday scene. The clouds reveal 5 white doves and the word PEACE in red.  The houses clear to reveal the homes decorated for the holidays.  

The color change is very good, and the mug is in great shape.

Denny's Christmas Bear

We're in the middle of a Christmas Mug Month!  4 weeks of Christmas Magic Mugs, each from Denny's Restaurants.  This mug shows a teddy bear with gift tag in front of a large 'wrapped' box marked with stars.  
When hot liquid is added to the mug, the big gift clears to reveal toys: a boat, a ball, a top and a toy duck!  The color change is excellent and the mug is in great condition.

Denny's Christmas Duck

In the 1980's Denny's Restaurants created many magic mugs, including this one, which is from a set of 4.  The mug features a Duck wearing a jaunty Santa cap and floating on his way to the South Pole. Astride his back is a frog, also with a Santa cap and carrying a gift.  The water is a dark blue, and the entire thing is framed in alternating colorful DENNY'S.
 When hot liquid is added, the dark blue water clears to reveal that the Duck is standing on a turtle wearing a Santa cap and there are also a couple of fish, also wearing Santa caps!

This is a fun and beautiful mug!  Color change is very good, as the water  you see is a light blue behind the Thermochromatic ink.
