What does eggnog have to do with Christmas?

Eggnog is a traditional Christmas drink that originated in medieval Europe. It is a rich and creamy beverage made with milk, eggs, sugar, and spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. The word "eggnog" is derived from the British term "nog", which was a strong ale or beer. In the 17th century, the British colonists brought eggnog to the New World, where it quickly became a popular holiday drink. Eggnog is often served with rum, brandy, or whiskey, and is a popular choice for toasting at Christmas parties and gatherings.
