Home Bargains Flags 100 Days to Christmas as Misprinted Festive Cup Returns to Shelves

A recurring misprint on a £1.29 festive cup underscores quality-control questions during the chain’s early holiday rollout.

Overview

  • The 2025 cup is a larger mason-jar style with a handle priced at £1.29 and misprints “Jingle” as “Jinlge.”
  • Reporters observed the typo on every glass, repeating an error first spotted on 2024 milk-bottle designs.
  • The same misprinted cups appeared on Amazon last year, indicating the issue was not unique to Home Bargains.
  • Asked about the repeat error, a Home Bargains spokesperson said nobody was available to comment.
  • The retailer posted a “100 days to Christmas” reminder on September 16, confirmed closures on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, and has stocked festive lines since September 1 after teasing the range in July.
