I've made eggnog at home but mostly purchased it.

[@hanknichols6865]

I assume some adventurous Americans make egg nog at home but most of us buy it the grocery store. Usually alcohol is added at home a the pleasure of each adult. I sprinkle a ground nutmeg into my glass.

[@tammycenter8757]

I love eggnog but it has to be homemade. I also make the non alcoholic version for my grandchildren. I loved how happy Princess H looked when she was given the vanilla eggnog. That was so cute. She is getting so big. It seems like only a few months since you showed her ultrasound picture. Time flies and you have to spend as much time as possible with your children because if you blink you will miss it. Merry Christmas Family H.

[@michaelpeli2429]

Wow, I've never seen it home-made. What a pain. In the US, it is sold in the store in the dairy section, usually nonalcoholic, and the adults can just add whatever alcohol they like.

[@SteelandSouls]

I've made it before. Came out pretty good but also made a toooooooon.

[@trevornekuda3101]

Also, liquor stores sells the alcoholic versions. Southern comfort brand for sure

[@heatherspence3848]

Woah! THATS a process! I have only had or seen it bottled.

[@CyFr]

You won't regret making it yourself, stuff in the stores has substituted almost all the ingredients only to have a longer shelf life.

[@tammycenter8757]

Homemade is ten times better and it is not hard to make.

[@estellewinters8502]

Spiced rum is a perfect blend for eggnog.

[@Mrhandfriends]

I didn't know if the spiced rum would work, but now I've tasted it I think I should have got the spiced rum

[@markhamstra1083]

Never buy spiced rum. It’s all crap. If you must have spiced rum, then buy real rum and add your own spices - it’s not hard, and the result is far superior.

[@estellewinters8502]

@@markhamstra1083 well perhaps you should provide what spices are used and how much and what’s the ratios. Seems quite a few people don’t agree. I’ve served eggnog with Captain Morgan’s spiced rum and it devoured every year sometimes I have to make two batches. Why don’t you just let them decide instead of calling it crap.

[@markhamstra1083]

@@estellewinters8502 Captain Morgan’s is bottom-shelf crap. It would have taken you less time to search for a spiced rum recipe than it took you to write your response, and little more to actually make it; but if you are actually interested, I’d start with the one at Serious Eats.

[@estellewinters8502]

@@markhamstra1083 I’m not. And yes, Capt Morgan’s isn’t top shelf but you’re pouring it into a bowl of eggs, sugar etc., which you would never do with a top shelf of anything. I think all run is crap because my jam is 12 yr old (or older) whisky or scotch. I love eggnog and so do all of my guest willing to drink raw eggs. If you want to take the time to argue the merits of mixing alcohol with milky raw eggs, do it in the mirror bcuz I believe that Mrs H was pleased to know it’s a great option. The eggnog is work enough and now you want her to create a spiced rum? I’m going to block you bcuz you’re annoying.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Very few people make their own it's so readily available in the grocery stores.

[@intallpines]

Of course, Mrs H would make it from scratch! Seriously impressive! Looks like it could be an amazing holiday tradition. BLYG!

[@AtomicSquirrelHunter]

Originally it had Rum in it, but the King taxed Rum and sugar so we switched to bourbon. I like it with and without alcohol. Available everywhere during the holiday season. Ironically, Jack Daniels makes very good non-alcohol Eggnog.

[@SnowLady_164]

We make our eggnog without alcohol...then if people want to have alcohol, they can add as much as they like. Also, out supermarkets sell it ready to drink. We also drink non alcohol eggnog in our coffee...YUMMY!

[@lonegrimo6098]

Also good for making French Toast

[@roystoyscomics1361]

I usually drink non alcoholic but our supermarkets here in the States sell both kinds. I have had Southern Comfort flavored eggnog once which was quite nice. 😊 You can never have too much nutmeg. 😊 Never ever made home made eggnog. Always store bought. We usually try our best by buying a few different brands. I bloody love eggnog!! 🥚 🫣

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

Never tried it with Southern Comfort but it sounds perfect for eggnog.

[@joeyrobison6629]

You can get eggnog in the dairy section at the grocery store here in the US. I add Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey, because it's really smooth. Eggnog is sold only during the holidays. By the time y'all get back to the States in April, Eggnog season will be over!

[@hollycook5046]

I like the pumpkin egg nog

[@ik7578]

I buy egg nog every week it's not just seasonal. It helps my dads medicine go down easier.

[@pjschmid2251]

At least in this area, the best brand is a local brand from a local dairy. It’s rich, thick and delicious. It still comes in The heavy glass bottles like milk did over 50 years ago (you bring them back to the store to get back your deposit). it of course doesn’t have alcohol in it. We add the alcohol when I get home.

[@kelticsage]

@@ik7578 True, I buy it year round

[@geegs120]

@@ik7578 Where do you buy it? I have never seen it sold other than during holidays, but I don't really look for it either during other times of year.

[@sandirobinson6966]

Yup. Egg nog is a staple in the U.S. for Christmas. You can make your own, you can buy the nog in milk cartons in the grocery store around Christmas and add or not add your own booze, or you can buy it pre-made with the alcohol in bottles, in the liquor store. Rich, sweet, and with a kick. Very indulgent. Great stuff. I prefer mine with mostly or all dark, spiced rum, but that's a persona l choice.

[@larryparish5984]

You'll only find eggnog in the stores in the US starting right around Thanksgiving. Hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas.

[@Mrhandfriends]

Merry Christmas to you and yours too Larry

[@lonegrimo6098]

I actually found egg nog right after Halloween I like the Southern Comfort brand. Steak and Shake as a egg nog milkshake thats really good.

[@ik7578]

I buy egg nog every week throughout the year. It's not just seasonal.

[@larryparish5984]

@@ik7578 😱 where are you at ? I'm moving there right after the first. 🤣

[@tammierandall864]

​@@larryparish5984 The brand Borden used to make eggnog in a round can. It was about a quart size. It wasn't in the refrigerated section. I forgot all about it. I think it was in the baking isle or wherever the canned milk is kept. It has been a long time since I bought it. Forgot all about it. That is the only eggnog that would be around all year.

[@marysweeney7370]

Southern Comfort Eggnog is my favorite eggnog. It is non alcoholic, but it goes perfectly with a splash of Southern Comfort Alcohol!

[@SisterTurtle]

Have you tried the Pennsylvania Dutch brand? I'm just curious if the Southern Comfort one is better than that one.

[@marysweeney7370]

@@SisterTurtle I'm not sure, but I've tried many brands. An excellent one I found at Whole Foods is from Homestead Creamery. I tried Organic Valley eggnog, but it was disappointing. I've tried a few local eggnogs , but always come back to the Southern Comfort eggnog, but the Homestead Creamery is just as good as Souther Comfort, but a little less thick., but I'm not near the Whole Foods and you have to pay a deposit on the bottle.

[@Rsilke1877]

I agree Southern Comfort is the best

[@SisterTurtle]

I think I will need to try the Southern Comfort one them. I've always drank the Pennsylvania Dutch brand because it's smooth and flavorful (I'm from the deep south, so well spiced is a must). Thank you for the reply!

[@Janice4th]

TG Lee has the best, but I don’t think they sell outside of Central Florida.

[@pepopr6]

Once you had the homemade the stores can never compare!

[@Deadcntr]

I do have eggnog every holiday season. It's one of the things that I look forward to at the holidays.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

We use fresh nutmeg on top of our nog at Christmas. We have a little wooden eggnog grinder, for the purpose,and the little nut (yes it is a nut) goes inside. Then when you serve it up you grind it fresh on top of each nog. It smells heavenly. We have a family recipe we've made for years and it's made 2 weeks ahead of time and left to stand, as it improves the flavor. We put whiskey as well into ours. We do, sometimes, buy storebought whish is NOT alcohol, (you're meant to just add what you want) but we only use that for say making latte or flavor our coffee. I had a feeling it was originally English as I live in New England and we have many things that I know came over with our ancestors back in the 1600's. We even make plum pudding in our house for Christmas which most Americans probably don't We also have brown bread as well (which is a steamed pudding/bread) that came over with the puritans. I live in Massachusetts, the state you have trouble pronouncing haha.

[@bradmcmahon3156]

I'm surprised egg nog isn't big in the UK because it's big in Australia and we are much more closer to the UK with our Christmas traditions. Like the US, it's a seasonal item in the supermarkets, it usually comes in pint or litre bottles.

[@kirbyculp3449]

I suspect that rationing during and after the wars could be a factor in the UK.

[@qwertyuiop273]

We can get it in 1/2 gallon glass bottles. Comes from a great company in Northern IL. The best-- to me any way.

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

We usually get store-bought. I think my family made it at home once, but we cooked it over a double boiler.

[@deanaltman6841]

I’ve seen quite a number of your videos and what always impresses me is your little girl’s willingness to try any type of food or drink. And she seems to like pretty much everything. My older kids aren’t bad but my youngest son is terrible. He eats like 5 different things and that’s it. Good stuff.

[@dvkins6394]

I know!! And she's not forced!

[@WhiteOwl6769]

We make this all the time and if you're not too picky it's a very nice easy substitute and no eggs! MOCK EGGNOG * 8 Cups Cold Milk * 1 Package (3.4 ounces) Instant French Vanilla Pudding Mix * 1 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg * 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract * 1/8 Teaspoon Salt * 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream * Optional nutmeg for garnish on top Instructions 1. In a large bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. 2. Beat in the sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and salt. 3. In a different bowl, beat cream until thickened (about 3 minutes). Stir the cream into the pudding mixture. 4. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg, if desired.

Your 4th generation native Texan fan says egg nog is a tradition in her family. There are 2 factions within my family: one prefers rum (my favorite), and the other prefers whisky/bourbon. I don't make my own; preferring instead to buy from my favorite Braum's store that specializes in dairy products (ice cream) but has expanded into a fast food/restaurant business with a small grocery department inside.

[@bothellkenmore]

I prefer to have my hard alcohol on the side so I can manage it. I like eggnog so I'd use it as a chaser. The sad fact is I saw the results of someone who overindulged in eggnog and it wasn't a pretty sight 🤮

Im drooling! You could probably just make a large batch of non alcoholic, and have the guest or "bartender", add their own preference of booze and how much. You could also experiment a bit with different alcohols. Grand marnier, peanut butter whiskey, peppermint schnapps, cinnamon schnapps?

[@yugioht42]

Actually the wassel drink took over the traditional drink in England during the Victorian period. It’s not exactly popular here in the states while eggnog is the drink of choice during the holidays especially with lots of rum. Wassel is like an alcoholic punch with some apples on top. I believe a Christmas carol mentions it by name.

[@lindaeasley5606]

Here We Go A Wassailing is the Christmas carol .A very old song and traditional American carol through the years. Grog is an alcoholic drink popular in the American colonies as well as cider or Apple Jack

Also the HEB Creamy Creations brand ice cream.

[@Do0msday]

I get my eggnog at the grocery store. I prefer buying the non-alcoholic because then you can have it straight or with some Bacardi. Sometimes stronger is better and vice versa. My go-to eggnog is Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice. It almost has a liquid pumpkin pie (topped with vanilla ice cream) flavor and it is so smooth and I adore it. Thanksgiving until the New Year is prime eggnog time and I personally enjoy it the most when relaxing before bedtime while watching a Christmas movie. It is a perfect nightcap.

[@nathanmcarthur]

I make a family recipe. That side of my family are seafarers and dock workers, ergo, there’s a lot (not a critique, just facts) of alcohol in it. When I made it for my group of friends on a NYE beach holiday, everyone needed a 15-minute lie down. Three hours later, the first survivor awoke.

[@monicapdx]

I approve of your family. 😁

[@jasonlebeau1288]

While culinary historians debate its exact lineage, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval British drink called posset, which was made with hot milk that was curdled with wine or ale and flavored with spices. In the Middle Ages, posset was used as a cold and flu remedy.

[@joravlin4902]

I'm from Minnesota. Southern Comfort makes a vanilla spiced eggnog that you can buy in the stores during the holidays and it's almost too good. I especially like it with the Salted Caramel Crown Royal.

[@StarShine-Ranch]

@MR. AND MRS. H - Eggnog is available in USA grocery stores from November through New Year's Day, in quarts and half-gallons. Then it disappears until the next year. I put an ice cube in my glass, add a splash or two of Southern Comfort or Amaretto (both sweet liqueurs), several sprinkles of ground nutmeg, and fill with store-bought eggnog, then stir it all together. YUM!

[@bndzimmerman]

I make home made eggnog every Christmas. It is labor intensive but it tastes so much better than store bought. And the version the eggs are tempered into hot milk/ cream.

[@TerryL421]

[@MrWCramer]

Just so you know, when you come to the US again, that eggnog is only sold in stores during the Christmas season. We enjoy the non-alcoholic eggnog. Great shows, I have enjoyed watching you and your family for over a year now, and love your videos. Happy New Year.

[@jamesjones7526]

Before the industrial revolution, eggnog was always prepared with alcohol to "cook" the raw eggs, and make it safe to consume. Also, only really fancy recipes call for mixing the alcohol before it is complete. It changes the texture/consistency a little. But the flavor will be the same if you simply add it at the end. Plus, making it without the alcohol means it's safe for children, and the adults can tweak the amounts of liqueur to their own, personal preference.

[@User_Albert_V]

Eggnog is a wonderful winter holiday drink, here in Georgia, U.S.A. Of course, it’s mixed with different alcohols, just as you did!

Bravo to you for making homemade eggnog, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic! I never had the alcoholic version before always has some store brand version of it.

We go to BROGUIERE'S DAIRY locally in Montebello, CA. We buy their eggnog during the holiday season, and they sell it in glass bottles which makes it taste so good. (Non-alcoholic) During the year we can get regular milk and chocolate milk from them too and sold in glass bottles. Some supermarkets here will sell the BROGUIERE'S bottles, too, but those sell out quickly because it is in a supermarket. i enjoyed watching this video! Enjoy your holidays! Peace. ☮

[@steve53541]

I tried it as a young man with rum and didn't particularly like it. Fast-forward 20 years and had some non-alcoholic eggnog, milk, and vanilla ice cream and I've been hooked on eggnog ever since. Every maker of store bought eggnog makes it differently so it takes a little trial and error to find the one that perfectly suits your taste buds.

[@tonirieke7934]

We have Eggnog each year at Christmas. Have made, but usually buy store made at Christmas. We don't put alcohol in whole pitcher, everyone puts some in their glass. It's a seasonal drink.

I love eggnog, I do not put alcohol in it but when you make it, you always put it in last because you cook the alcohol out otherwise. you heat up milk un whipped cream, cinnamon stick nutmeg for a minute you slowly add it to your sugar and egg mix so it does not scramble the egg occurred. You put it back on the stove once everything‘s mixed continuously stir until it thickens and has a deep yellow color served hot or cold.

Where I live in the states. Eggnog is available in all grocery stores, typically from the end of October until after the New Year.

[@daricetaylor737]

We are not drinkers in our home, so for us it is always non-alcohol eggnog. I don't mind purchasing it already made from the supermarket....they are generally all the same. I also ALWAYS sprinkle nutmeg on top of mine and as far as vanilla, it comes with vanilla already added, so yes and yes! Our family traditional drink however is wassail. We again make it non-alcohol, but use 1 gal of apple cider, 1 size 6 can of pineapple juice, 1 small can frozen concentrated OJ and one small can frozen concentrate lemonade. We mix all these together in a crock pot, add several sticks of cinnamon a sprinkle of allspice and about 15 whole cloves. We cook our wassail all day long until it reduced by at least 25%.....the longer you cook it the more concentrated it becomes and the tastier it is! I have taken jars around to my neighbors for Christmas and they all said not only was it amazing, but they used it in several of their alcoholic holiday drinks! You cannot beat the smell of wassail that has been cooking all day long! It is Christmas to the nose.

I personally find that non-alcoholic eggnog is rather cloyingly sweet, and that adding a moderate amount of spiced rum or whiskey makes it far more drinkable and complex without being too powerfully booze.

[@Ghostsiouxtech]

H lucked out when you came into his orbit. You’re fantastic.

[@t2j0h09]

I've never made it homemade. Looks like a lot of work. But I always buy cartons of it at the store at Christmas time. I love eggnog.

[@jeffhampton2767]

Mrs H wanted to smell it. Smell is one of her favorite words 🤔😆😅😁

[@Mrhandfriends]

As Joey from Friends would say "half the taste is in the smell"

[@andreaelliott728]

Store bought eggnog for me, but not regular flavor, I love the vanilla eggnog. It’s a little thinner and tastes like melted vanilla ice cream! Yum!! And no alcohol. 😊 edit.. comment made right before Mrs H said the same thing LOL 😂

[@dalehammers4425]

Eggnogg is the greatest thing on the face of this planet.

[@exousia7773]

I love egg nog. My mother was Italian raised in Manchester and came to Texas and every Christmas eve after midnight mass , we'd come home and parents would pour us kids a small glass of egg nog with a touch of brandy and nutmeg. Yum! But, i found an egg nog made with almond milk and the cinnamon and nutmeg in it. The brand is SoDelicious. It's thick and creamy like regular egg nog. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@jamesjones8482]

Good job Mrs. H! You are a wonderful cook. I have always bought eggnog in the supermarkets. They always have a few different one's in the dairy section, before Christmas(they seem to all be equally good). I had a relative make his from scratch when I was a young boy, and it was very good, probably like yours. (Bourbon, or rum, are my alcohols for eggnog.) I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas! ❤

[@user-cg3rl9td4f]

I’ve never seen it homemade…it looks absolutely yummy🇺🇸

[@charlesblaicher7589]

My Great Grandmother insisted there was Eggnog every Christmas. Merry Christmas.

[@justinhowell8873]

I grew up drinking non-alcohol eggnog and loved it. Then I tried alcohol eggnog as an adult and I’ve been hooked ever since!

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

It used to be egg nog was only found in supermarkets in my area of the US between October through January. However, now some brands and some stores have expanded to offering it year round. I enjoy mine with a splash of spiced rum topped with fresh cream.

[@mildredpierce4506]

I don’t know anyone who has met a man before. In America eggnog it’s only sold during the holiday season so basically from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. But of course if you’re making your own, you can make it whenever you want.

[@charlesbduke7947]

Single malt whiskey, a small amount of water. Nothing else compares.

[@sassycatz4470]

I definitely buy my eggnog at the grocery store. I live in Washington, DC and the brand I get is Turkey Hill, which you can get in the mid-Atlantic states, like Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc. It's non-alcoholic, but when I get home I put bourbon in it as well as either cinnamon or nutmeg.

[@louchat333]

From Thanksgiving to Christmas it is found in grocery stores next to the milk. My mother added vanilla ice cream to thicken it up. Mix all in a blender. Add whiskey if you want. Pour into a glass or mug and then sprinkle nutmeg on the top. Enjoy. My favorite is Borden.

[@barcster2003]

Most Amercians would buy a non alcoholic carton from the store. Its defintely popular from december to early January. Nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon are typically what you would put in it and we usually drink it cold.

[@WizardofOwls]

We usually buy premade eggnog in a carton, add Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, and then sprinkle Apple Pie Spice (a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other sweet spices) on top before drinking! It's super yummy!

[@jolaynecooper5254]

We don't use alcohol in anything, so our eggnog is without. I have never like the commercially made eggnogs, but saw a recipe for non-alcoholic eggnog with rave reviews. This recipe doesn't use the egg whites. I decided to try it this Christmas and it is amazing.

[@jodyarrington8555]

To be honest, I've never known anyone to make it from scratch. In the US it is so readily available at the grocery store in alcoholic or non-alcoholic type. 🥂Happy holidays! 🎄

[@lindanearing4710]

We always had eggnog for the holidays. We liked rum in it. If you add whiskey and warm it up, it's called a Tom and Jerry.

[@laurie7689]

We have it at Christmas - the non-alcoholic version. My personal tradition is to drink some while decorating my tree. This year, my adult daughter and myself found some Egg Nog Ice Cream and tried it. So delicious, very rich, and better than the beverage in my opinion.

[@toots1568]

Absolutely love you eggnog. I enjoy it year round.❤

[@judyhuurman1237]

We drink non-alcoholic eggnog. Or we make something called "Bishops wine". Take a bottle of burgundy wine, heat it up (not boil), add cinnamon stick, and an orange impaled with cloves. This may be similar to grog.

[@wendywoodruff2871]

We make it non but with nutmeg and cinnamon. Then if you want the buzz you can stir in a shot of whatever you like. Personal favorite is Bailey's but dark rum is nice too. 🎅🤶 Best store bought was from a local dairy who had a stall at the farmer's market.

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

In my area Hartzler is the best (IMHO) eggnog. It's made by the Hartzler Dairy farm. Thick and creamy it makes the large corporate versions seem weak & bland by comparison. Where I live I can only get it seasonally. It's non-alcoholic so you can add your favorite liquor to it as desired.

[@philstone3859]

Eggnog done right is great. My Step Father had an old English recipe that I’ve yet to see anyone top. It was the Only eggnog I would drink. It was very strong and delicious. You could get hammered on it if you weren’t too careful. It was strong, but also light, fresh and really tasty. It impressed everyone.

[@Tensen01]

Here in the US basically no one makes their own. The vast majority of people buy it in the supermarket. The best brand I have found is the Southern Comfort brand, which, while flavored liked the alcohol, is actually non-alcoholic.

[@Darth_Lunas]

Bailey's and eggnog!

[@jLutraveling]

We buy it for use at home usually without alcohol. We use it to make French toast and waffles. Our dessert at Christmas dinner will be a no bake eggnog pie. It is a versitle ingredient.

[@k.ambrosio602]

Definitely LOVE eggnog! Usually get the non alcoholic, lactose free egg nog and I need to limit my intake because I can drink the whole thing in one sitting. Haha!!! As always, hats off to you Mrs. H for making this homemade! BLY all!

[@dow311]

I purchased my eggnog at the liquor store. Yum!

[@tammybeck906]

I prefer non alcoholic. I like it with vanilla and cinnamon. Southern Comfort is the best brand to buy. It comes in original or spiced vanilla but the spiced vanilla is my favorite.

[@merriemisfit8406]

When the weather turns cold and the heat comes on indoors, my throat gets so dry that maybe once or twice during the season of joy and merriment I pick up a quart of the non-alky nog. The cool, custardy smoothness bestows gentle relief. I always hope the store will have that assertively-cinnamon-flavored "Fireball"-branded nog, but I found none this year. 🔥 I have a simple Christmas Eve dinner, like stew in a sourdough bowl or chili and cornbread, salad with homemade lemon mustard herb vinaigrette (this year it was tiny tomatoes and steamed-and-chilled green beans atop baby greens - depends what the produce market has on clearance), with a traditional dessert (mincmeat pie or gingerbread cake), and lots of vanilla caramel black tea. Meanwhile a DVD of Bing Crosby's final Christmas special plays. Although I do not deck much hall, I DO leave my little tabletop Christmas tree up and decorated all year. 🎄 And Mr. H: you don't HAVE to have Marty Moose mugs if you want to celebrate a Christmas Vacation movie nog-sipping, but you DO have to wear a black turtleneck dickey under a white sweater that's thin enough and tight enough for the dickey flaps to show through. 😆

[@johnhelwig8745]

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

[@deed5811]

I usually buy eggnog from a liquor store. Either Evan Williams or Pennsylvania Dutch brands. The bottled ones are seasonal though. I don't normally find them after new years.
