Enough with the administrivia,
Here's the history!
We've had many inquiries from customers who have been searching for glass moose mugs (eggnog cups, reindeer glasses, steins, bowls, . . . whatever!) like those that were featured in the movie "National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation" (1989), by Warner Bros. The glass moose
mugs were in the shape of a moose
head - they had antlers on either
side (for handles) and had a moose snout and eyes.
Note: We will not be posting pictures from the movie here due to obvious legalities. Our Moose Mugs (we have also been developing a line of other Canadian animal mugs: Bear Mugs, Wolf Mugs, Beaver Mugs, etc. - stay tuned for more info!!) will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, the mugs in the movie (we will not be infringing on any copyright). We do not have any exact specifications of what these glass mugs were like so we are producing moose products which we believe will be what our customers are looking for. To refresh your memory, watch the movie again (buy it on DVD) and have a laugh! You will be supporting Warner Bros. at the same time!
In the movie, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) drank eggnog from glass moose-shaped mugs (at Clark's house, during the Christmas holidays).
The glass mugs were probably a throw-back (a 'string' is another word for linking movies together) to the original movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" (1983). The Griswold family visited the theme park "Walley World" and were probably meant to have acquired the glass mugs there. The moose connection was probably to "Marty Moose", the "Walley World" mascot.
Through Warner Bros., we have determined that these glass mugs were "props" only (fashioned specifically for movie filming). Alas, the glass mugs were never produced for consumer use.
BUT...
Due to a demand for glass moose-shaped mugs, by tourists and movie buffs as
well, we have designed our own
glass vessels and
they are ready to go!!
You are probably asking "What do your glass Moose Mugs cost . . .?"
Please read on! . . .
Cost Solution 1: To get these glass Moose Mugs down to a nice cheap
price would be a simple
process: pay a large glass manufacturer US$100,000 for a complicated mold and then buy 200,000
Moose Mugs from the same manufacturer over the next 2 years. No problem!
Big problem! Based on the feedback from our wonderful customers, the
demand for these glass Moose Mugs numbers in the hundreds, not hundreds of thousands!
That demand does not justify implementing Cost Solution 1.
No biggie, let's continue! . . .
Cost Solution 2: Find smaller glass producers who can hand-produce the glass Moose Mugs, with higher quality than the large manufacturers, but in smaller numbers. The costs are slightly higher but at least we can get the glass Moose Mugs produced.
We have done that! Check out what we have! . . .

Dimensions
(all dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly from mug
to mug)
Width (from antler tip to antler tip): 8-1/2"
Height:
5"
Front to Back (includes snout): 3-1/2"
Wt: just over 1/2 lb.
(this is a serious piece of glass!)
The glass goblet is close to a 6-7 oz snifter-style glass, with a diameter (at widest point) of 2-3/4", with a mouth diameter (of glass opening) of 2", with a height of 4", and a glass thickness of approximately 1/8".
This is the "Cadillac" of hand-formed glassware:
completely custom designed/stylized, completely hand/mouth-blown glass
Moose Mugs
(even the snifter is hand-made)!
Each Moose Mug is mouth-blown from molten glass and is carefully shaped into a snifter-style
goblet, with foot. The snout is added, the antlers are precisely shaped and attached, and then the
nostrils and mouth are cleverly formed. Finally, the eyes are added, bringing the
Moose Mug to life.
These glass Moose Mugs are destined to become family heirlooms as you are obtaining highly-detailed pieces of hand/mouth-blown glass - almost too nice to use for eggnog! You might have to get one for each of the kids. It could save on lots of arguments in the future!
Makes a great gift for any occasion - Christmas, Thanksgiving, graduation, birthdays, weddings, etc.!
Hand-made in the USA, by the original artist, who did the original mugs for the movie!

ORDER EARLY!
As these Moose Mugs have become fairly popular (for movie buffs and
tourists alike!), it is safest to get your
order in very early, especially for the Thanksgiving/Christmas season. We will make all
efforts to fill your order as soon as we can but sometimes we experience a
backlog on orders. Like anything of quality, we believe the Moose Mugs are well worth waiting
for and we appreciate your patience! Please submit your orders
via our on-line order form or by our fax
form.
You can keep posted on the STATUS of your order by checking our "Moose Mugs Status" page. Just click here (you will need to remember the date you placed your order).
These Moose Mugs are VERY, VERY popular around Thanksgiving and Christmas so please get your orders in VERY, VERY early!
Delivery
delays are not in our control
(crossing borders, Customs inspections, mail scares, seasonal rushes,
etc.).
We CANNOT 'guarantee' ANY delivery
date. Sorry!
To make shipping easier, if you order Moose Mugs (or Punch Bowl Antlers) AND any other products (from our site), the other products will be shipped separately from your Moose Mugs (and Punch Bowl Antlers) order. That way, we can use our standard Moose Mug boxes and will not have to 'custom' fit each Moose Mug order into different size boxes.
- - - - -
OPEN YOUR MOOSE MUGS AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THEM
As the Moose Mugs and Punch Bowl Antlers are completely hand-blown, they will be shipped in
strong cardboard boxes (2 layers deep - a box in a box, where necessary).
The 2 layers will be padded out with styrofoam 'peanut'
packaging. When you receive your shipment, just carefully open the box(es) and find the moose / mooses / moosei ?!!
Please open all of your Moose Mugs as soon as you receive them. Damages must be reported within 48 hours
of receiving shipment.
After 48 hours, we will not provide replacements/refunds for Moose Mugs that are
damaged. Please retain all original packing materials and boxes
provided. They may be needed for inspection by the shipping company.
- - - - -
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Have fun using these! The Moose Mugs CAN be used for drinking from - that is what they
were designed for.
Note: Extreme temperatures may damage these items - we DO NOT recommend
serving extremely HOT beverages in these and we DO NOT recommend storing these vessels in the
freezer.
To hold the Moose Mug, we recommend you 'cradle' it, under the goblet, just above the
foot. Although the Moose Mugs are more than strong enough to be held by
the antlers, we do not recommend holding the Moose Mugs by the antlers when they
are filled with eggnog (or your favorite beverage!). The weight of the Moose Mug and
the contents will be almost more than most people can hold with one hand, never mind
with just a finger and a thumb. If attempted to be held by the antlers, the
Moose Mug could slip from your hand and the Moose Mug and contents would meet with a messy end and
nobody would enjoy that.
- - - - -
WASHING/STORING INSTRUCTIONS
Customers have inquired about washing these glass Moose Mugs in the DISHWASHER. As with any fine piece of
hand-made glassware, we recommend hand-washing
and
hand-drying ONLY (drip-drying or air-drying works, also). This will insure that these items will be around, to be enjoyed, for
years to come. Just use regular liquid dish soap and warm water for
cleaning.
Note: For the original version Eggnog Cups, DO NOT use AMMONIA-based cleaning products (like the glass cleaner "WINDEX") to clean your Eggnog Cups. The ammonia may degrade the epoxy used to adhere the antlers and snout to the goblet.
During the 'off season', just store these Moose Mugs safely in your china cabinet/cupboard or in the boxes you received them in. Remember to keep the Moose Mugs separated from other items and from each other (so they don't fight!). Simply use cardboard, cloth, foam, bubble wrap, whatever..., to keep them apart!
- - - - -

We will not knowingly sell our Moose Mugs to anyone who only wants the Moose Mugs so that they can re-sell them on eBay (or on any other 'auction-type' site).
This is not a knock against eBay: this is a knock against those people who take advantage of 'uninformed' eBay shoppers (who may not realize they can buy the Moose Mugs, at www.CanadianMoose.com, at regular retail prices).
We offer our Moose Mugs on eBay, just to 'inform' the eBay traffic that the Moose Mugs are available on our website. We will not knowingly 'run up the price' of our Moose Mugs on eBay.
So, if you are buying the Moose Mugs, just to make a profit re-selling
them on eBay (or whatever other
'auction-type' site),
please
don't bother ordering them.
We will do everything in our power to find
out the intended use of the Moose Mugs and we will turn away orders, if
necessary.
Thanks for your consideration!

Customers have contacted us,
confused with other poor 'copies' of our original Moose Mugs.
"If you are the
original, you can count on being copied."
Don't be fooled, though.
There is only 1 original artist and he makes our CanadianMoose.com Moose Mugs.
(This is where we defend the quality (and price) of our original design Moose Mugs)
1. We have received e-mails from people who have acquired 'cheap'
imported glass copies of the Moose Mugs, only to find something wrong with them (uneven eyes, crooked antlers, etc.). We are very sorry but we cannot help you out with these issues. Please talk to the company who supplied you these inferior quality mugs. If they can't give you satisfaction, please return the mugs, make sure to lodge complaints where possible (eg. eBay, if that is where you got the mugs), and then come back and talk to us.2.
Acrylic, while definitely cheaper than glass, scratches easily and very quickly starts to show 'stress' fractures (check your kids' drinking glasses, for examples of this). After a few usages (especially if you put them in the dishwasher!), the state of acrylic items makes them almost embarrassing to use in public. Also, with all the recent 'recalls' of products from overseas (made with dangerous chemicals), be very wary of where these acrylic mugs are made - especially if you are going to drink from them!!If any other vendor tries to tell you their 'cheap copies' of the Christmas Vacation Moose Mugs are an EXCLUSIVE trademarked product, they are just blowing smoke. Their statement "reproductions of these moose mugs or any use of the product name "Christmas Vacation Moose Mug" is in violation of the United States Government trademark laws and is strictly prohibited" is a poor (and now failed) attempt to try to scare you (the consumer) into buying their products. Their application for a US Trademark has been denied and their statement (above) is probably now in contravention of United States Patent and Trademark Office regulations (not to mention 'false advertising').
Thanks for your continued support of our high-quality, original CanadianMoose.com Moose Mug items.
3. If you are looking for 'inexpensive' versions of the cups (wonderful for kids OR for knocking around at the beach),
plastic is truly a great option. Let's be serious, though. If you consider using them for your next catered event, it is certain none of your friends will see the plastic cups as a 'thoughtful expression of appreciation.' Also, with all the recent 'recalls' of products from overseas (made with dangerous chemicals), be very wary of where these plastic mugs are made - especially if you are going to drink from them!!(Note: As our customers have continued to ask, we are still looking to produce our original design Moose Mugs in plastic but to be made in the USA. Our original design is well worth waiting for. If you get a chance, please let the 'plastic' competition know CanadianMoose.com is coming!)
If you are looking for something of unsurpassable quality and durability, that can be proudly displayed, discussed, and safely used for years to come, our original high-quality, hand-MADE IN THE USA glass Moose Mugs are the only logical option.
We truly apologize for our 'high' prices,
caused by the foreign exchange rates of other
world currencies (in relation to our strong Canadian dollar). Our prices have not
increased since we first started selling these original Moose Mugs (in 2000)
and as well, we have 'eaten' every price increase handed to us since then (raw
materials, labor, packaging and shipping costs, etc.). We are here for the
long term and we
will not sacrifice the quality of our products for any
reason.
Going forward, we have already brought out our matching Punch Bowl Antlers
and we are currently developing matching 'shot' glasses
and matching 'shooter' glasses. We are hoping
to bring out other animals in the same design as the Moose Mugs: Bear
Mugs, Wolf Mugs, Beaver
Mugs, etc. We are not resting on our laurels.
We truly appreciate your support of our
continuing efforts to provide you with the highest quality Moose Mugs products we
can.
Please remember,
you truly only get what you pay for.
1. Our glass Moose Mugs are hand-made in the
USA.
2. Our glass Moose Mugs are
produced one
at a time
and are built to last.
(strong design + attention to detail = quality assurance)
3. Our glass Moose Mugs are
hand-made by the original artist!
(a professional
glassblower,
who worked as a glass artist at Disneyland
for over 10 years!)
A worthy investment indeed!
These mugs will increase in value!
Why buy cheap imported glass, plastic, or acrylic when, for only a little more, you can buy HIGH QUALITY GLASS items?
THE LOWEST BIDDER
"It's unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you
pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little you
sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing
the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits
paying a little and getting a lot, it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest
bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that,
you will have enough to pay for something better."
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
