I never ever had eggnog. Might want to try that out sometime.
I don't know anyone in my environment that ever had eggnog. It's not very Dutch, I guess. Well, one way to find out

We don't drink eggnog here. In Scandinavia, we drink Gløgg instead which is a sort of spiced wine enjoyed quite warm (but not boiling) which is usually quite sweet. In this country, we like to drink it with raisins and bits of almond in it.
Not the best picture, but it shows how I like mine. Nice and chunky with lots of almond! Not 100% sure how the danes and swedes generally prefer theirs.

I feel eggnog is syrupy and thick, with a pleasant nutmeg flavor but almost cloyingly sweet, Vanilla. Soy nog is lighter and more pleasant, based on taste alone.
I don't think you are missing much by not having egg nog. Quote:
And that name is great. Gløgg! Say, speaking of Scandinavian holiday traditions, I just went to a St. Lucia fest in Minnesota, which is celebrated there thanks to all those Scandinavians who immigrated. I don't think they brought the Gløgg with them, though. Only lutefisk.

Gløgg is okay actually, I too think I would prefer it to eggnog which I think sounds almost dangerous. Can you really drink egg mixed with sugar and alcohol without getting sick? I bet I can't

"Glühwein" is German for "Glow wine", which is probably based on the glowing, warm feeling this wine provides you with

Interesting! It must be a mainly American thing. All I know about Eggnog is that once a restaurant I was working at had Eggnog as a Christmas special kind-of thing and I dropped my iPhone in it.
