Counting down the days to Christmas, December 25th is coming up close and nothing reminds our family of Christmas more than a good Candy Cane. While I often sit down with a cup of eggnog, a Candy Cane is always a welcome snack when walking by the tree (yes, we hang them on the tree).

Having a rough day? Perhaps the Candy Cane Shooter will change that up with a little bit of relief.

Our first eggnog recipe, this one users what I would call pre-made eggnog (since we didn't make it). While you can mix eggs directly into the cocktail (as you'll see later this week), it's a long standing tradition in my family and families I know to drink eggnog during the holidays (often times non-alcoholic).

This recipe shows off some more United States tradition from a user submitted recipe that contains peppermint schnapps and goldschläger with the eggnog.
