Available from May 8, 2024 The Summer Season Mug 2024 "Berry Season" continues the theme of previous summer mugs by depicting Moomins engaged in summery activities. This time, the illustration shows the Moomin family in the garden making jam. Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden are stomping on freshly picked currants in a bathtub, which serves perfectly as a container in this scenario. The summer 2024 season collection also includes a plate and beach textiles, along with a renewed series of drinking glasses featuring new summery illustrations. The Moomin Arabia design team has adapted the illustration based on Tove Jansson's comic stories, "Moominmamma’s Maid" (1956) and "The Conscientious Moomin" (1958).

Characters
Moomintroll
Moomintroll is a lovable and happy creature, and he longs for adventure. He is always at the heart of the event. He cares for his friends very much, and wants everyone around him to be happy. Just like the other Moomins, Moomintroll loves the sea. Moomintroll is a great combination of his parents: He is brave and adventurous like Moominpappa, as well as kind and compassionate like Moominmamma. The best place in the world for Moomintroll is Moominvalley, and he never fails to find an adventure. His fearlessness and longing for adventure sometimes carry him out of the Valley. Moomintroll is a roundish character, and he has a tussle at the end of his tail. In spite of his young age, Moomintroll has experienced the highs and lows of romance with his girlfriend Snorkmaiden. Moomintroll first appeared in Tove Jansson’s novel The Moomins and the Great Flood.
Snorkmaiden
Snorkmaiden is young and a bit of an erratic personality, always full of surprises. Snorkmaiden is Moomintroll’s friend and his love interest. Snorkmaiden has a brother called Snork, and they belong in the family of Snorks. The snorks change their colouring according to their emotions, and Snorkmaiden turns pale green when she gets upset. Snorkmaiden is an eternal dreamer, who often daydreams of romance and the prince of her dreams. Her vain and flirtatious nature might seem annoying to the others from time to time, but sometimes her stubbornness turns out to be very useful. Snorkmaiden has lovely golden coloured bangs, and a golden anklet. Snorkmaiden first appeared in Tove Jansson’s novel Comet in Moominland.
Moominpappa
Moominpappa is the decisive and fair patriarch of the Moomin family. Moominpappa is known to be adventurous by nature, with thousands of experiences and stories from his younger years. He is also a thinker, who writes his chronicles and always wants to know what is going on around him. Family is everything to Moominpappa, and he is willing to do whatever it takes for his family. He is settled in Moominvalley and enjoys the quiet life, but still remembers his days of wild adventure. Moominpappa loves the sea and considers himself a great sailor and a fisherman. He uses a cane, and is hardly ever seen without his top hat. Moominpappa first appeared in Tove Jansson’s book The Moomins and the Great Flood.
Moominmamma
Moominmamma is the lovable and gentle mother figure, and her peaceful character brings some stability to the colourful and lively Moomin family. Moominmamma is a caring and loving personality, who only wishes all living creatures well. Moominmamma appreciates uniqueness in everyone and is always just. Amongst the inhabitants of Moomin Valley, Moominmamma is considered a very reliable and helpful person. She is never out of chores and she loves to keep busy in her kitchen and the garden. Moominmamma has an astonishing ability to see that every cloud has a silver lining. The apron and the handbag are very important accessories to Moominmamma. In the handbag she carries supplies for all possible occasions. Moominmamma appears in almost all of the Moomin books.
Little My
Little My lives in the Moomin house and is a part of the Moomin family, even though she is not really related to the Moomins. Mymble older is her mother, Mymble her sister, and Snufkin his half-brother. In spite of her small size, Little My is very courageous, fearless and brave. Little My is known for being quite feisty and having a sharp sense of humour. Little My always makes her own decisions and acts as she sees fit. She doesn’t let any kind of mayhem disturb her, and loves spending time in narrow and unusual places that most can’t even fit into. Little My is also very curious, she loves secrets and is good at keeping them. Little My has an orange bun of hair and a red dress. Little My first appeared in Tove Jansson’s book The Memoirs of Moominpappa.
