| Agree with making your own. And it seems like it's a liquid meal anyway, so light sides would be good. Or maybe eggnog as an afternoon drink after cutting down the Christmas tree or some other outside activity. |

It really kinda is. I totaled up the ingredients in my egg nog, and divided by the serving size cups, and it comes to roughly 350 calories per 5 ounce cup, when you factor in the alcohol. Easy to hit 1000 calories quick! |

Fruit cake. I might be the only person who likes fruit cake, though.
AndI water my egg nog down with skim milk. It's way too thick and sweet for me. |

Warm mini croissants too. Kids preferred chocolate mini croissants over the eggnog |

Sometimes l do 1/2 eggnog 1/2 skim milk with breakfast around the holidays. It’s a treat, like juice with breakfast which l don’t usually have either.
I like the biscotti suggestion as well |

Good stuff! And there is a type of fruitcake for everyone, from candied to fresh to apple to apricot to pecan to molasses to liquored up or not. Something like over 1000 varieties of fruit cake now. |

| Scottish shortbread, the kind that is a tiny bit salty. |

| I think of eggnog the same way I think of a milkshake. It’s a standalone decadent treat. |

| I always associate it with spiced or sugared nuts because that's what we had sitting around in bowls at the holidays growing up. |
