Christmas Eve is National Eggnog Day. What a perfect time to celebrate this popular drink enjoyed between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.
It’s one of those traditions we enjoy as adults because we remember it so vividly as children. Besides, the holidays would not be the same without it.
Eggnog’s innovative culinary delights charm the holiday season, from bread pudding and French toast, to cookies and cake.
At Whole Foods Market in Portland, Oregon we made an eggnog Bundt cake with rum icing that was so popular we could barely keep up with production.
We formulated our holiday nog to include coconut milk and replaced all but one ingredient in traditional eggnog to make this treat free of the top 8 allergens. Yes, we replaced all but the nutmeg and came up with this delicious holiday nog.

Latkes, a.k.a. potato pancakes are great any time of the year, but around Hanukkah there’s a whole latke love!
