I’m not a big fan of eggnog, but my husband adores it! I never thought about trying to make it at home, but have discovered that Homestead Creamery makes a killer eggnog. PLUS, I discovered their eggnog ice cream. Yummy!

Jason, if you are asking on the blog I’m guessing you already tried Fresh Market. But something gourmet and fairly unusual like that is probably only going to be at Fresh Market or another store that sells a lot of gourmet food products, like maybe Provisions in Roanoke or Gourmet Pantry in Blacksburg.
It looks like you can order them online, but you probably want them for a holiday recipe. Sometimes the high-end Kroger stores like at Bonsack or Brambleton have an amazing selection of unusual products. If you find them I’d be interested to know where! Good luck!

Unrelated, but a holiday dilemma nonetheless, does anyone know where to find Amarino cherries in Roanoke?

Would that be, “egg nogurt”?

Several of the frozen yogurt places (Sweet Frog, for example) offer egg nog yogurt at various times during the non-holiday seasons.

I am an egg nog lover around the holiday season. If you like egg nog as well as pumpkin, i suggest you try the pumpkin eggnog i stumbled across recently at food lion. Great stuff!!

For all you eggnog lovers out there do a Google search for eggnog cheesecake or eggnog cake. I made the eggnog cake one year and the flavor wasn’t very distinctive, maybe this year I will try the eggnog cheesecake…
