National Egg Nog Day & Holiday Recipes Using Egg Nog
Over 25 Egg Nog Recipes!
Egg Nog - eat it, drink it, smell it, touch it, decorate with it, wear it or look at it. December 24th is National Eggnog Day; a most unique holiday with so many scrumptious ways to celebrate it.
I really enjoy non-alcoholic eggnog, but my husband doesn’t so I haven’t had it in a while. Last year I really wanted some so I decided to go ahead and buy it. After having a cup or two I was wondering what I was going to do with the rest of the holiday beverage. That’s when my quest to find recipes for “remaining” eggnog started.
You will see the results of my search for the best eggnog recipes here, but don’t stop there. Check out all the eggnog products you’ll find listed here to help bring a little flavor into your holiday cheer.

Peppermint Eggnog Fun
WARNING: Don’t do this on your best cups or crystal.
Looking for new ways to wow your kids over the holidays? Try making this peppermint candy cane and white chocolate rim craft and then fill the decorated cups with non-alcoholic eggnog.
You need: 12 peppermint candy canes, broken into pieces and 3 ounces of chopped white chocolate.
Directions: Place candy cane pieces in a food processor until they are finely crushed. Use a strainer to sift out the dust. Pour into a shallow dish.
Melt white chocolate in a microwavable bowl for 40 seconds at a time until chocolate is melted completely. Stir with spoon to make sure it is smooth. Cool for a few minutes.
First dip the rim of each cup into the melted white chocolate and then dip it into the crushed peppermint. Place cups on a tray in the refrigerator until you are ready to fill them with egg nog.

Our entire family loves egg nog, but would you believe I have never made my own! Really cool to have recipes at the click of a key :) btw, I collect Charming Tails and my son gave me the egg nog figurine you have featured here.
Done with yum and fun...both go well with eggnog or even egg nog....by any name its delicious! Congratulations on being featured on the Silly Celebrations Monster Board!
I love the moose mugs. They would definitely be a great conversation piece.
The holidays wouldn't be complete without Egg Nog!
I love egg nog. The Peppermint Rim Mugs is a new one for me and sounds really good!
Who knew there was a National Eggnog Day? I usually buy a carton of eggnog during the holiday season - maybe this year I'll try making it. Your recipe sounds yummy!
Perfect for the holidays.
