It’s better Homemade!
Even though it’s freezing outside, there are a few cold drink recipes we always enjoy during the holidays – like Frozen Hot Chocolate, Peppermint Milkshakes, and this eggnog recipe! If we are going to be honest, we haven’t always been fans of eggnog but after mastering an easy homemade version, we will never go back to store bought. This homemade version is better than any store-bought eggnog. It’s not only delicious, but so simple. Plus, it’s Christmas in a cup (although we love it for Thanksgiving too). We also love that this is a non-alcoholic eggnog (no rum, brandy or bourbon) which means everyone can enjoy it!
