Holiday Favorite
Eggnog and the holidays go hand in hand. There’s no doubt about it. Being able to stock up on eggnog a few short months out of the year means I make every eggnog teat I can think of! Since I’m also buying plenty of ice cream to enjoy with pie, there’s no reason not to toss these two delicious ingredients together with a few spices, brandy, and rum to make the ultimate holiday milkshake! A couple of boozy shakes for family and friends and a few non-boozy shakes for the kids and we’ve got another reason to celebrate!
Fill up the treat table with delicious eggnog sweets like Eggnong Fudge and Eggnong Whoopie Pies for everyone to celebrate!

Does McDonald’s have eggnog milkshakes?
Grabbing an eggnog milkshake at McDonalds seems to be hit or miss. Some locations appear to carry them, while other locations do not. The milkshakes are also only available for a very short time, as in a few weeks around the holidays. It’s easy to check online to see if your local McD’s offers them, but it’s even easier to make your own at home! Now that you have the delicious recipe that includes booze, who needs the hassle of the drive-thru?
Is an eggnog milkshake good?
If you like eggnog then the definitive answer is a resounding yes, eggnog milkshakes are great! Even if you’re not a fan of eggnog, these milkshakes may turn you into a fan. Making these shakes at home is even better because you can make them how you like them, with thick creamy eggnog or lighter nog containing less butterfat and egg yolk and as much booze as you want. Eggnog milkshakes are fun, festive, and oh-so-delicious, so enjoy them as long as the eggnog season lasts!
