My core, root idea of Tiki is basically Disneyland's Adventureland, probably because that's where I first encountered Tiki. So I'm totally fine mixing the Jungle Cruise, Swiss Family Robinson, generic-tropical-adventure aesthetic into my Tiki funtimes... We've even got things like a hippopotamus cookie jar and African animal masks in our Enchanted Tiki Kitchen as a throwback to the Jungle Cruise. A little project of mine is bashing one of those motorized Christmas ice skating pond tabletop decorations into a tabletop Jungle Cruise.

But man, that mug... I didn't care much for the Jingle Cruise when I actually saw it (at the end of the day, a theme of "Christmas garbage dumped around the jungle" is still just Christmas garbage dumped around the jungle) and that mug is... Maybe it looks better in other pictures? Even if they just went with a ceramic animal mug instead of a proper Tiki one, I'm sure they could have come up with one that's a little more fetching.
