The $10 “Chubby Mug Tower” Everyone’s Buying at Costco for the Holidays
If you scroll on TikTok and find yourself in the rabbit hole of “coffeetok” — a section on the social media platform where creators share their favorite latte recipes and drinkware — you’ve most likely stumbled upon chubby mugs. The widely-designed cups make it easy to whisk matcha or other beverages that require blending.
Most of the chubby mugs on the market are translucent, but Costco just rolled out a set with a festive holiday design, and shoppers are racing to the warehouse store to get their hands on a pack. If you head to Costco, the store just rolled out a Christmas mug tower equipped with a stand that holds four mugs in red and white shades. The cups feature a ho-ho-ho, snowflake, Christmas tree, and Santa pattern. The set costs $9.99, making each mug about $2.
Digital creators are detailing their experience visiting Costco to find these mugs. Due to the hype of these cups, some shoppers are having better luck spotting them than others.
One person commented on this Instagram post showcasing the Costco Christmas mug tower release, saying, “These are absolutely adorable.” While another shopper mentioned, “These are so cute! Love that it comes with a stand.”
On a different Instagram post detailing this drop, one shopper said, “I can’t find this.” Another person asked, “Where is the link because I can’t find this on the app?”
Unfortunately, this mug tower is unavailable on the Costco website; you can only buy it in stores. However, if you want a set, you can purchase it online at other retailers. Walmart sells a cute gingerbread-themed one for $9.96.
