A Christmas mug with your dog’s face on it
By the Photoshoot Pets team · Updated November 1, 2026
Every December your dog ends up in at least one photo they didn’t agree to. The reindeer antlers. The sweater. The long-suffering look by the tree. That photo deserves better than your camera roll, so put it on a Christmas dog mug. Upload the picture, add your dog’s name, see the mug before you pay, and we print it and ship it free anywhere in the US.

What it looks like
It’s an 11 oz white ceramic mug with a glossy finish, and it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave. Your dog’s photo goes on the front. If the picture is a little dark or messy, you can switch on Studio Enhance™, our optional AI retouch that gives it a studio-portrait look. You’ll see both versions in the preview and pick the one you like.
Three Christmas mug ideas that always land
The Santa hat photo
You know the one. Your dog tolerated the hat for exactly four seconds and you got the shot in second three. That’s the mug. Close-up photos work best here, so crop in on the face and the hat rather than the whole living room. A slightly offended expression is a bonus, not a problem.
“Merry Woofmas”
Our mugs have one text field, and you can type whatever you want in it. Most people use their dog’s name, but it works just as well for a short holiday line. “Merry Woofmas.” “Santa’s Favorite.” “Biscuit’s First Noel.” Keep it short so it prints big and clear. A name or a few words looks better than a full sentence.
First Christmas with a puppy
A new puppy’s first Christmas only happens once, and they’ll double in size before the next one. Grab a photo of them tangled in the wrapping paper or asleep under the tree, and type something like “Pepper’s First Christmas 2026” in the name field. It makes a sweet gift for whoever did the 3 a.m. potty trips, and a nice keepsake to pull out every year after.
Works for cats too
Same mug, same price, same order-by date. Cats rarely pose for Christmas photos, but the one sitting in the empty gift box with total confidence is just as good on a mug. Upload your cat’s photo in the mug maker the same way. If you’re shopping for a cat person, our Christmas gifts for cat lovers guide has more ideas.
Before you order
- How much is the mug, and is shipping really free?
- Each mug is $29 USD, and shipping is free on all US orders. We currently ship to the United States only, for now. Want the same photo on a tee or a wall portrait too? The maker shows bundle prices for that.
- What kind of photo works best?
- A sharp, well-lit photo where your dog’s face fills most of the frame. Daylight near a window beats a dim living room every time. Phone photos are fine. If yours is a bit blurry or cluttered, try Studio Enhance™ and compare the two in the preview.
- Can I add my dog’s name or other text?
- Yes. There’s one text field, and you can type your dog’s name or a short phrase like “Merry Woofmas.” Shorter text prints larger and reads better on the mug.
- Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
- Order by December 10 for Christmas delivery in the US. Mugs are made to order in 2–5 business days and usually arrive 2–5 business days after that. Ordering after the cutoff? It will still get there, just maybe after the 25th.
