Custom Cups for Christmas and the Holiday Season: Put Your Brand in the Spotlight

Hot chocolate at a Christmas market, takeaway coffee after a shopping trip, or a drink served at a company celebration: the holiday season brings plenty of opportunities to enjoy a hot beverage.

For cafés, restaurants and businesses, a custom Christmas paper cup adds a branded touch to these moments. Based in Montréal, Les Emballages ASWAL manufactures paper cups and helps businesses bring their custom designs to life.

A Festive Design That Stays True to Your Brand

Creating a holiday cup does not mean replacing your usual design entirely. Your logo can remain the focal point, complemented by seasonal details such as snowflakes, stars, fir branches or a holiday greeting.

Keep the design easy to read. Too many decorative elements can make your business name harder to see. A simple pattern, a carefully chosen colour and a short message can be enough to create a festive feel.

Consider a cup in your café’s colours with a “Happy Holidays” greeting, a winter design you can use for several months, a special edition for a Christmas market, or a bilingual message suited to your customers.

Practical tip: if you want to use any remaining cups after December, choose a winter design without a date or a Christmas-specific message.

Match Your Cups to Your Seasonal Drinks

Hot chocolate, filter coffee, lattes or tea: choose a cup that matches the portion you actually serve.

For drinks topped with foam or whipped cream, allow enough space above the beverage. Before ordering, check lid compatibility and how the cup feels in your usual serving conditions. Depending on the drink temperature and the cup selected, a protective accessory may be needed.

ASWAL offers several paper cup sizes. Our team can help you choose based on your menu, intended use and customization needs. Lids are sold separately : remember to include them in your quote request.

For Cafés, Christmas Markets and Company Celebrations

For a café or restaurant, custom cups complement seasonal beverages while keeping the presentation consistent with the business’s identity.

For a Christmas market, cups can feature an exhibitor’s branding or the event’s identity. Plan quantities around opening days, expected attendance and the other containers used on site.

For a business, cups can carry a thank-you message for employees, visitors or partners at a breakfast or reception.

In each case, the design should suit the occasion and remain easy to recognize.

Prepare Your Order Before the Event

A custom order involves several steps: selecting the cup size, preparing the artwork, approving the design and production. To help us prepare your project, provide your required delivery date, cup size and quantity, your logo preferably in vector format, the message and colours to print, your lid requirements and the delivery address.

Also specify whether you need one design or several versions. Minimum quantities, prices and lead times are confirmed in your quote, based on the project specifications and production availability.
