The holidays are the perfect time to enjoy the company of friends and family while enjoying your favorite beverage, and the Santa beer belly glasses are a quirky touch to help liven your spirit.

These hand-painted designs were created by Barbara Boros and expose Santa's rotund stomach that is supposedly full of beer instead of [milk and cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santa-paws-milk-cookie-box). The bottom of the glass features the words "Filled with Beer" and the word cheer scratched out to increase the goofy nature of the glass. Although it's a Pilsner glass, the Santa beer belly cup can be filled with any non-alcoholic choices including a [festive eggnog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-cocktails-of-christmas) or even with milk for the jolly man himself on Christmas eve.
