Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel Mug

Hey Disney Vacationers! “Deck the halls with barrels of fun!” If you’re a Disney fan, tiki mug collector, or just someone who loves a great themed drink, Walt Disney World has a holiday treat just for you. As of November 20, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is the only place you’ll want to be, because the Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel Mug has officially arrived at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. Here’s everything you need to know about this festive treasure.


What is the Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel Mug?

This is not your average tiki mug—it’s a holiday-themed masterpiece! This limited-edition mug features an intricately designed rum barrel with festive holiday touches, perfect for sipping your seasonal favorites. Whether you’re a collector or just looking for a fun way to bring a bit of Disney cheer home, this mug is bound to be a showstopper.

And the best part? It’s not just about the mug—it’s about what’s inside! The Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel comes with your choice of two delicious drinks:

Barela Lā Hoʻomaha

For those who love tropical cocktails, this drink combines:

  • Goslings Black Seal Rum
  • Coconut cream
  • Guava syrup
  • Pineapple and lime juices

ʻOluʻolu (Non-Alcoholic Option)

Prefer to skip the rum? This option uses:

  • Lyre’s Cane Non-Alcoholic Spirit
  • Coconut cream
  • Guava syrup
  • Pineapple and lime juices

Both drinks are bursting with tropical flavors, making them a perfect match for the Polynesian vibes of the Grog Grotto.


Why You’ll Want to Act Fast

This isn’t the first time Disney has delighted fans with limited-edition mugs. Just last month, the Madam Leota mug sold out within a few days after its release on Halloween. If history is any indication, the Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel will likely be another hot commodity.

Disney collectors know that limited-edition releases like this don’t just stick around. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! So, if this mug is on your holiday wish list, don’t wait too long to snag it.


Where to Get It

You can find the Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel exclusively at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, located inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. You can also picked it up via Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace, which is the outdoor portion of the famous tiki bar. Whether you’re staying at the resort or just visiting for the day, make sure to carve out some time to check it out.

Traditionally, Trader Sam’s will hand out wrist bands for everyone “tagged” to purchase a mug. Wristbands usually get handed out before the official opening of Trader Sam’s Grog Gotto. And if you’re a Disney collector, this Trader Sam’s Holiday Barrel tiki mug will make a perfect festive addition to your collection.

Pro Tip: Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is a fan-favorite spot and tends to get busy. If you’re planning to grab this holiday mug, consider arriving early to beat the crowds and increase your chances of scoring one.


Make it a Holiday to Remember

The Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel is more than just a mug—it’s a slice of holiday spirit that brings together the warmth of the holidays and the tropical vibes of the Polynesian Resort. Whether you’re treating yourself or gifting it to a Disney-loving friend, it’s a piece of the Disney experience you can take home.

So, are you ready to deck your tiki collection with some holiday cheer? Head over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and grab your Trader Sam’s Holiday Rum Barrel before it sails away for good. Cheers to a season full of magic, memories, and delicious sips!
