Cheers to the final addition to our 2026 commemorative glassware collection! 🎄✨

And with it comes the return of a Christkindl Markt favorite…Eggnog is BACK for the 2026 season!

Meet this year’s eggnog glass, designed as a direct companion piece to the new bubble glass. Completely hand-illustrated in-house by our talented team and authentically crafted in Germany, this glass features festive moments from the Christkindl Markt above a string of holly, a recurring detail throughout our 2026 collection.

The deep green illustrations stand out beautifully against the creamy color of our delicious eggnog, making this glass a wonderful addition to your collection. 🥂
