Hamlet on the Hutch depicts Beggin's brand mascot, Hamlet, and this decorative plush is decked out with a holiday sweater that matches the same style for humans in the Beggin' Swag Shop. Inside the Hamlet on the Hutch Holiday Pack, the perfect gift for dogs, there's a decorative plush that's ready to be displayed for the enjoyment of people, while pets will appreciate chowing down on the Beggin' dog treats.
The Elf on the Shelf phenomenon has inspired a handful of brands to create their own decorative holiday mascots. This year, holiday shoppers have been introduced to not only Hamlet on the Hutch from Beggin' but also Ranch on a Branch by Hidden Valley.
