The holidays bring with them a unique sense of warmth. The smell of cinnamon in the kitchen, the flicker of candles, the sound of laughter echoing through the house. And on the table? Eggnog—rich, creamy, and filled with seasonal spice.

For centuries, eggnog has been a holiday staple. But traditional versions are often made with rum, brandy, or bourbon—leaving many unable to enjoy it. Expecting mothers, children, or simply those making mindful lifestyle choices deserve to share in this tradition too. That’s why we’ve created a non-alcoholic eggnog recipe that delivers the same comfort and cheer, without a drop of alcohol.

And here’s the best part: pair it with our 0.0% alcohol sparkling wines, teas, and wine alternatives from Wines For Mothers, and you’ll have a holiday spread that feels both indulgent and inclusive.

A Quick Look at Eggnog’s History

Eggnog’s roots go back to medieval England, where a hot, milky ale drink called “posset” was often enjoyed. Over the centuries, eggs and spices were added, turning it into a festive winter beverage. When the drink made its way to colonial America, rum became the spirit of choice, and from there, eggnog became tied to Christmas gatherings.

Today, it’s enjoyed around the world—but modern tastes (and health-conscious habits) are reshaping it into something new. Non-alcoholic eggnog, paired with alcohol-free wines and sparkling drinks, keeps the tradition alive while making it accessible to all.

The Perfect Non-Alcoholic Eggnog Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup sugar

• 3 cups whole milk

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp ground cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (plus more for garnish)

Optional Flavor Enhancer:
Add a splash of NON 3 | Toasted Cinnamon & Yuzu Non-Alcoholic Wine Alternative ($34.99). Its warmth of cinnamon with a hint of citrus brightens the traditional recipe and ties in beautifully with holiday flavors.

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Warm milk in a saucepan until steaming, then slowly whisk into the egg mixture.

3. Return the mixture to the stove and stir over low heat until slightly thickened.

4. Remove from heat, stir in cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

5. Chill for at least two hours before serving.

Pour into mugs, sprinkle nutmeg on top, and enjoy a festive sip that feels every bit as special as the traditional version.
