Denver Christkindlmarket illustrator signs 2024 mugs for collectors before supply runs out
DENVER — Every year, the Denver Christkindlmarket sells out of its official holiday mugs and steins before the event comes to a close. This year, the illustrator signed the tableware for collectors.
The Denver Christkindlmarket is a winter wonderland that lights up downtown’s Civic Center Park with the colors of Christmas. The cherished holiday tradition is produced by the German American Chamber of Commerce – Colorado Chapter.
The German-style holiday market has plenty of tasty foods, drinks, and gifts for someone special this holiday season, as well as tons of magical entertainment for everyone to enjoy each year. The event is open to the public and there is no entry fee.

Each year, the Denver Christkindlmarket produces thousands of mugs and steins unique to the Mile High City, and each year, officials sell out of the mugs before the market comes to an end. This year’s mug designer, Jay Peteranetz, traveled to Colorado to sign mugs for collectors.
Peteranetz is a Colorado native and professor of illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This was his eighth year designing for Denver’s Christkindlmarket but his first time signing his creations.
The mug’s design is different each year but always unique to Denver.
“I grew up here. Knowing Denver and knowing the landmarks, knowing what makes this place special is a big part of what I try to bring to the mugs every year,” said Peteranetz. “Just trying to find something new and unique that is Denver-based and Denver-oriented that we can bring onto the mug every year is where I start. This year is the State Capitol. The icon of downtown in my opinion is that nice big gold dome on top of the State Capitol building. So I really wanted to show that off.”

Peteranetz said the Denver Christkindlmarket is one of his favorite places to be during the holiday season.
“Another big thing that is so good about this market is the family-oriented nature of it,” he said.

It’s time for the AFC’s #1 team to meet the NFC’s #2. Today the Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers in a key late-season inter-conference matchup that could have playoff seeding implications for both teams.
In Denver, the Broncos will be trying to hold on to the top spot in the AFC and keep their impressive win streak rolling. Denver has won ten straight games, some of them in fairly ridiculous fashion, but they sit at 11-2, sharing the top record in the NFL with the New England Patriots, who are just behind them in the playoff picture based on conference record.
The Packers, meanwhile, want to hold on to the lead in the NFC North before they have their rematch with the Chicago Bears next Saturday night. Green Bay sits behind only the Los Angeles Rams in the playoff race in the NFC, and they want to return to the Central time zone with that lead intact.
