The Family Time Moomin mug is a brand-new release for 2025 and will become part of the permanent collection. Traditionally, early-year releases have featured individual character mugs, but this time, the new additions to the permanent collection depict multiple familiar characters together. The Family Time tableware series includes not only the mug but also a bowl, a plate, a small plate, and a serving plate. Each item in the series features an elegant Moomin 80 anniversary stamp on the bottom. The illustration on this tableware set is based on Tove Jansson’s comic strip Moomin Family (1955). In the story, Moominmamma and Moominpappa rescue Moomintroll from the mercy of the sea. Soon, they realize that he is their long-lost son, and they return home, reunited as a family. The family’s story continues in other illustrations, where the Moomin family enjoys relaxing moments in the garden and embarks on adventures around Moominvalley. The common theme in the Family Time collection is the precious moments spent together with family.
