One of our Christmas family traditions is for everyone to have a cup of hot chocolate with Egg Nog while trimming the tree. We drink it throughout the Christmas season after that initial cup. It’s a tradition that started when my brother and I were little. I’ve always been a fan of hot chocolate but during Christmas it would taste extra special. I would act as if I didn’t know what the secret ingredient was since my mom said it was a surprise.

The taste of egg nog is unique and unforgettable plus I always saw a little chocolate around the edge of the carton where the egg nog container had touched the steamy chocolate as she poured it in our mugs. Nevertheless it’s a tradition I adore so I have decided to continue it with my little one.

To make Egg Nog Hot Chocolate just prepare your favorite hot chocolate mix and stir in Egg Nog to taste before garnishing with marshmallows and whipped cream…yummmm!
