We can’t think of a better way to toast the season than with this warm and creamy drink.
you're making mealtime meaningful.
As far as we’re concerned, the holidays don’t officially start until we prop our feet (covered in fuzzy socks) up on the ottoman with a fire going, holiday music playing, and most importantly a mug of eggnog simmering by our side. Because this is such an important part of the festivities, we’ve come up with a recipe that combines egg-noggy goodness with holiday cheer.
Think full cream and sweet cinnamon giving us the most delightful of milk mustaches that has a heat to warm our body regardless of what’s going on with the weather outside. Our slow cooker eggnog goes great with friends and family at a holiday party, or just for a simple night at home wrapping presents or watching our favorite holiday movies.
