The barrel-shaped mug is red with brown hoops around it. “Trader Sam’s” is in white on one side, with a sprig of holly on the “R.”
There are snowy accents on top of the hoops.
A red present with a green bow sits below two stockings that appear to be nailed to the barrel. The stockings are green and red, with candy canes hanging out of them.
A brown ship’s wheel is on the opposite side from the bar’s logo.
A big red bow is on the bottom spoke of the wheel.
Ornaments and candy canes are depicted hanging from a red rope.

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar
Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar opened at Disneyland Hotel in 2011 and promptly became a popular destination for specialty cocktails and a quick bite to eat. Deriving its name from a character from the Jungle Cruise attraction, the venue is rich in theming and quality beverages, and thus, guests often face long wait times to enjoy the experience.
The bar received an East Coast counterpart when Trader Sam’s Grog Gotto opened at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort at Walt Disney World in 2015. Though aesthetically different in theming, the venues contain similar menus.
The well-realized tiki theming plays a large role in Trader Sam’s popularity. Merchandise based on and inspired by the bar has long been sold at Disney parks, including various themed tiki mugs. Mugs styled after the venue’s most popular cocktails have been sold in the past, and the beloved Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion received a tiki-style makeover for a mug of his own in August 2023. Most recently, a tiki mug inspired by Ursula’s cauldron was released.
