Council bosses more than doubled their mug order this year - but it still wasn't enough for demand as thousands flock to Manchester Christmas Markets
Manchester's hectic Christmas Markets have run out of mugs for a SECOND year running - due to unprecedented demand at the festive extravaganza. Last year 40,000 mugs had sold out by the first week of December, so council bosses had more than doubled their order for 2022 in a bid to cope with anticipated sales at bars this year.
There were two designs for 2022 - for the smaller blue gluhwein mugs and larger white hot chocolate mugs. 80,000 of these designs were put into circulation at the start of the Christmas Markets which began this year on November 10. Council bosses say that "generic mugs from previous years" are now being supplied to food and drink stalls across the markets.
A spokesperson for the council said: "The feeling from traders is that numbers are back up to 2019 figures, when the markets were last on Albert Square. "Bad luck of course for anyone who maybe hasn't been to the markets yet and so has missed out on one of them, but with all our vintage mugs now out in the markets until they close, what a great chance to grab a piece of Manchester Christmas past for all the retro-heads and collectors out there.
