Merry Christmas Jen and Don.I hope you have a good holiday season.

[@sydreyme]

My favorite holiday drink is eggnog spiked with ginger ale. Very much as you prepared your spritzer with the apple cider ( which I can't waIt to try). I've only had it with store bought eggnog though. I can't wait to try it with this.

[@Chellesdesigns]

I haven't watched your video yet, but i just want to say, your hair curled looks really good. It suits you. It looks very classy and fresh. You should consider having it this way more often! xx

[@DayLovesColours]

Dear Jen, thank you so much for a lovely year with your videos! I´ll definitaly try this recipe and as others - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, Don a Winnie xx

[@saarjasmijn4611]

Great video! And your hair looks amazing! I love this style on you

[@Leecreates]

Cool~! Never thought of using cinnamon. I always use 2 tsp of nutmeg and 1/2 cup of icing sugar with the regular white sugar gives it a nice flavor.

[@celeste_lives2747]

Happy Holidays Jen, Don and Winnie

[@SaraMitchell09]

have a very Merry Christmas Jen!

[@natanations]

Happy holidays, Jen!

[@TheMyameeGirl]

Looks delicious Jen! TFS this recipe. Too late this year for me unfortunately, but I will definitely add it to my recipe stash for next year! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Looking forward to seeing your content for 2015! Cheers!

[@Sambam112311]

Your hair!!!!!!! Loooove it! You look gorgeous!

[@JamiesGirl1990]

Thank you so much for this recipe Jen! I've only had store-bought eggnog and hated it. I literally just whipped up a half batch of this to try, and it's still cooling, but the taste test while it was still warm was amazing! Using cinnamon instead of nutmeg is a great idea for non-nutmeg-lovers like myself.

[@WithWonder]

JamiesGirl1990 That's why we like to offer nutmeg to taste after it's made :)

[@prettypixychick]

Next year you could try adding the cinnamon to the eggs so it would be incorporated more easily.

[@MsNicoleChanel]

Loving your haircut Jen.

[@angiecarr9038]

Your hair and makeup look amazing! Tutorial please? Merry Christmas Jen!!

[@nicolewilliams8337]

Looking at Christmas videos. JEN I MISS YOUR SHORT HAIR. How beautiful!

[@joanmartin2969]

love it

[@SillyConeBaby]

That sure does look good, i adore egg nog and love the ice cream, too :)

[@amigurumigirl]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :)

[@WifeMommyFamilyJourney]

YUUMMM!!!! My favorite Christmas drink!!! Can't wait to try it out :)

[@1993caci]

I've only had store-bought eggnog once and was not a fan....but this looks really good! May have to give it another shot with this homemade version - TFS! Merry Christmas to you and your family! :)

[@fashionablelena8696]

I've never had cold egg nog. My mother always served it warm. She also made separate batches-alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Merry Christmas!

[@Katxo1831]

I've never had warm eggnog!

[@vallove4life]

This looks so good! Thanks for sharing! Loving your hair! 💜 Merry Christmas!

[@mrscottoncandydarlinglife]

Awesome Love Eggnog !!! Thank you for sharing Jen and I think I will half to try making this. Merry Christmas to you and Don hugs :)

[@Uberbl0nde]

Have you tried adding the cinnamon straight to the eggs? Easier to blend maybe?

[@BusyWifeandWorkingMom]

Your hair is adorable :) Merry Christmas!

[@TheMeganExperience]

Your hair looks great! Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

[@judydickson3823]

I cant wait to try it, thank you for sharing 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@fergalandolive]

if you mix the cinnamon with a little of the milk to make a paste and then add to the rest of the liquid it will combine more easily.

[@thejulylioness4383]

Looks delicious! I love non-alcoholic eggnog. Have you ever used your eggnog to make French toast? It's fantastic, and ridiculously easy since all you need to do is pour some over a few slices of bread, let it soak in, and fry it up. You don't even need to put syrup on it!

[@lindachapman9765]

Looks delishous just noticed your missing an earring, merry xmas to you too and a happy new year xxx

[@SweetSimplifiedLife]

Haha, I noticed the earring too. I'm always taking one off to talk on the phone and then forgetting to put it back on!

[@lindachapman9765]

SweetSimplifiedLife Us ladies are allways doing that, its ok if you remember where you put it, xx

[@WithWonder]

linda chapman Sadly I lost it :(

[@lindachapman9765]

Organized Like Jen OH JEN SORRY TO HEAR THAT , ITS NOT NICE LOOSING SOMETHING THAT PROBERLY IS SENTIMENTAL, XXX

[@jenniferpage1462]

Merry Xmas Jen and Don!

[@geometricfro8768]

Jen - your hair is ON POINT in this video! Eggnog isn't "a thing" in Australia - and I don't think I'd like to try it ALL - but this video was still interesting to watch =)

[@nathanstewart6454]

Thanks for this recipe ! I'm trying it for the first time this year:-) Wish me luck! Merry Christmas:-)

[@loganpaige7183]

How long does this keep in the fridge? If I made it say 2 or 3 days before will it still be good?

[@daniellelimia4599]

If you pour the box liquids the other way around, with the opening at the top, it is supposed to pour much more smoothly - supposedly due to the airflow inside.

[@soph1025]

Very nice :) Happy New Year everyone!

[@rosannaserrano7300]

Good

[@TessieDobey]

I could drink eggnog all year long

[@angelaroeder6198]

Yum!

[@Narsuitus]

I use half and half and heavy whipping cream instead of half and half and whole milk. I add Tennessee whiskey and spiced rum. I use maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.

[@sadiejosiemom]

I've never made eggnog and not a huge fan of it. I would've thought there were more ingredients - so simple!! I wonder if you mix the cinnamon with the sugar and then mix that in with the beaten eggs if it would make the cinnamon mix in easier? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@cleoduquette-michaud5557]

Love your hair!

[@myview6852]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. To mix in the cinnamon easier, try warming up some of the milk separately and mixing in the cinnamon there, and then adding the mixture to the rest of the ingredients. Hope this makes it easier.

[@amigurumigirl]

Yum!!

[@TheLifeofaHomemaker]

Love the recipe :)

[@isadoratol8783]

I love your hair in this video!!!! You should wear it like this often!!! Happy Hollydays!!

[@kandylish]

Hey Jen! I've never had Eggnog but your family recipe looks great...I might have to give it a try! In this video, you show a stainless steel measuring cup - I've been looking for a set like this...where did you purchase yours? Love your videos! xo

[@MsMadison1996]

You look really pretty with curly hair Jen :D and the egg nog looks delicious

[@racinray592]

Can I substitute Splenda or another artificial sweetener to eliminate the sugar for a diabetic friendly Eggnog drink? If so, what would be the proportions?

[@shottspar]

Hi Jen, I live in Scotland and we don't "do" eggnog so I always wondered what it was. Thank you for letting me know, I might try my hand at making it. Just one question, what is half and half? We don't have that here - is it a cream? Merry Christmas to you and Don and all the best for New Year x

[@cait4048]

I think half and half is half milk and half cream... it's mostly used in coffee here. My dad's side is Scottish (Chisholm and Stewart), but he's the eggnog-maker in our family... he must get it from his mom ;) I do make shortbread every year for Christmas though, so my Grandpa did pass something down. Merry Christmas!

[@JamiesGirl1990]

Half and Half is equal parts whole milk to cream

[@shottspar]

Caitlin Anderson Thanks Caitlin. You can't even get ready made eggnog here! Shortbread is delish and a Scottish favourite. We make clootie dumpling for Hogmanay - another Scottish tradition. Merry Christmas to you x

[@WithWonder]

shottspar Shortbread is excellent served with eggnog btw :)

[@daltonvincent6263]

great job on the vid

[@novamarkuscasander]

I always wondered what eggnog is, we don't drink it in the Netherlands but I see it in movies. I always thought you would drink it hot. Your hair looks lovely!

[@bostonveganbean4928]

Have you ever tried putting vanilla in it? Either vanilla bean or extract? My son loves egg nog but prefers vanilla flavored. Thanks Jen!

[@mmaxwell64]

So you don't separate the egg yolks like other people do

[@DrkNSwt]

Jen yoy look beautiful in this video, love your nakeup and hair. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@zigma10473]

nice video

[@ashleymurray1098]

What is half and half? Is it like semi skimmed milk?

[@TessieDobey]

half milk and half cream

[@LisainCalifornia]

it is half cream, half milk. Sort of like light cream. You can get it at any grocery store in the U.S., and many people use it to cream their coffee.

[@ashleymurray1098]

Oh okay. We don't get it in the UK. Thanks for answering :)
