National Egg Nog Day

National Egg Nog Day comes just once a year.  Also spelled “Eggnog Day”, this December 24 holiday celebrates a special, traditional holiday drink. It is consumed with or without Rum. And, if it’s an office or other adult party, the bowl is likely spiked with rum. The timing couldn’t be any better– the day before Christmas— Christmas Eve!

Egg Nog is a seasonal holiday drink. Many people say a holiday party is not complete without a crystal bowl filled with it. It appears in stores just before Thanksgiving and is enjoyed by many at the Thanksgiving meal. Consumption then takes a break until the December holidays are in full swing.  Consumption of egg nog peaks on Christmas Eve. By the New Year, it is no longer available in stores. If you want egg nog after New Year’s you will likely have to make it yourself.
