Hi Everyone!
Today for #SundaySupper we had to make something that was inspired by our favorite holiday music, movies, and TV shows. I chose my all time favorite holiday movie which is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I love that movie! I watch it every year! However, I haven’t yet this year, but I think it will be perfect to watch on Christmas Eve.
I just love this cooky family! Never a dull moment when Clark W. Griswold is involved. So what did I make that was inspired by the Griswolds? I made The Griswolds famous Eggnog, but with a spin!!
Clark and Eddie served up some Eggnog in the famous Moose Mugs, but unfortunately I didn’t have a Moose Mug but I did find out you can buy it online. I would have gotten one if I had time to place an order, but after this post, what would I do with moose head mugs?
My Eggnog as I stated above has a little twist to it! I added cocoa to it to make it an Eggnog Hot Chocolate! For adult version, I added a little bit of rum to it! Yum!!! This is one drink I can get into!!! My drink is creamy, chocolaty, rich and has the perfect amount of spice and will please all hot chocolate and eggnog lovers. Just omit the rum for a kiddie version!
The Eggnog Hot Chocolate is super easy to make. In a medium sauce pan, I added Dairy Free Eggnog, unsweetened coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, stevia, cinnamon and cornstarch to thicken it up. I whisked it together until it got thick and bubbly. I poured it into my Christmas Mug and topped with whip cream and freshly grated nutmeg. So good!!!
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp. corn starch
- ½ tsp. stevia or 2 tbsp. sugar
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups eggnog (I used Dairy Free)
- 1 cup coconut milk, from carton (Do not use canned) or milk of choice
- 1 oz rum (omit for kid-free version)
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- In a medium sauce, over low heat,add all your ingredients, except the rum. Whisk constantly until thick and bubbly. Whisk in Rum, Pour into a mugs. Top with freshly grated nutmeg and whip cream if desired.
I am getting pumped up to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!! You can bet that I will be drinking my Eggnog Hot Chocolate while watching it!!!
I can’t wait to see what the crew at #SundaySupper will be sharing with us this week. I wonder what their inspiration was? A movie? song or a tv show? What is your favorite holiday movie?
Have a great day!!
Toodles,
Jennifer

Christmas Vacation is my nephew’s most favorite holiday movie. I’m going to send him this post and I’m sure he’ll be making this wonderful hot chocolate to sip while he is watching the movie for the 10,000th time.
Lol, we saw the movie Friday night and oh my gosh I forgot how funny it is. I told my Husband we were watching it and he wasn’t thrilled and then he couldn’t stop laughing. He said he really liked the movie!
I am totally going to order the moose head mugs! Fantastic. I forgot about them!
Get the mugs, they are just to funny and hilarious!
Love National Lampoon’s Christmas. I’ve watched it 3x already this year. This nog spiked hot chocolate looks amazing. Pinned.
Thank you so much Jennie! We just bought the movie and as soon as we turned it off ABC Family was playing it! We watched part of it again!
Yum! Eggnog and hot chocolate together! Sounds amazing! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Martin! Happy Holidays to you!
That is one decadent hot chocolate – I have to try it! I’ve never seen this film, but I think I need to!
What? You never seen it? Oh my gosh you have too!! It’s funny and even Leonard from Big Bang Theory is in it, he plays Russ! You have to watch it, you just must! This is a classic!!
This is my husband’s favorite movie. He has watched it four times this year. Pinned this recipe because I was so happy to learn it was vegan! Thanks!
lol 4 times! I used to be like that with the Christmas Story! My gosh I could watch that movie non-stop!
I haven’t seen Christmas vacation in waaaaay too long. Maybe it will be on this week. I did not know they make dairy free eggnog. Oh, and I loooooove coconut milk from the carton. I even like it better than almond milk now.
You have to watch it! It’s so funny! I didn’t catch it last year but we watched it Friday night and just laughed through the whole movie!
A very festive drink even without a moose mug! lol Merry christmas, Jen!
lol, those darn moose cups! I’m kind of kicking myself for not buying them!
Never thought to cross eggnog and hot chocolate. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing, this could be a big crowd pleaser at my next holiday party!
Thanks Shannon! It’s really a great combo of flavors and I kind of have a thing for chocolate! 🙂
Would you believe that I have never seen this movie? I’m probably the only person in the world, haha. Eggnog hot chocolate sounds fantastic… I wish the Florida heat would go away for one night so I can cuddle up with a nice warm drink like this one!
You have to see the movie! My step-daughter just watched it for the first time this past weekend and she loved it! It’s really a classic movie!!
Great recipe!
Thank you Amanda! 🙂
Fun, fun, fun! I just watched this movie today and it never fails to entertain. Your hot chocolate with eggnog is truly inspired. Love it!!!
Thank Renee! We watched the movie again, it’s just to funny!
I want a moose mug!!!! And I realt want some of this Eggnog Hot Chocolate to drink from it!
he he I want the cups too! Maybe Ill get them next year!
Love this post, love your recipe, love your photography… just awesome! So glad you are part of the #SundaySupper Family!
Thank you Isabel! I just love being part of this group! Thank you so much for having me! I can’t believe I have been with #SundaySupper for almost a year now!!
WOW! This looks like the perfect Christmas treat! And I’m glad you’ve given some lightened up options. I think I’ve been on a sugar high ALL week! Merry, merry Christmas, Jen!!! xo
You have been on a sugar high, oh my gosh I have like a crazy person! 🙂 I wish you and your family the very best Christmas ever!!
This looks amazing…a must try for Christmas Eve…
I like that movie, too….and Home Alone is my fav.
over from Flour Me….
Merry Christmas
Using eggnog for the base of hot chocolate is a genius idea! And it would have been hysterical if you had gotten those moose mugs. What a ridiculous and awesome drinking vessel!
I am kind of mad, I should have gotten the Moose cups! So goofy and fun!
I’m watching National Lampoon’s RIGHT NOW 🙂 I think my favorite part is Todd and Margo. They make me laugh every time!
