Eggnog Hot Chocolate
Eggnog Hot Chocolate combines two winter favorites into one rich, creamy, and delicious beverage that you’ll want to sip all season long!
Your new favorite holiday drink!
I wasn’t much of an eggnog fan until college, when I worked at Starbucks and fell in love with their eggnog lattes with gingerbread syrup. Now, I love adding eggnog into my holidays from Eggnog Cheesecake to Eggnog Pudding Shots!
The richness of the eggnog and homemade hot chocolate is pure perfection. It’s sweet, creamy, chocolaty and has such a unique and decadent flavor that even eggnog haters LOVE this drink!
This year, I wanted to develop a recipe that I could share with my daughter in the hopes that she will grow up loving eggnog as much as I do now. This creamy and rich hot chocolate was just the thing!

Ingredients For Eggnog Hot Chocolate
This yummy holiday drink can be made with either a store-bought or Homemade Eggnog and a simple homemade hot chocolate mix made with cocoa powder, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and whole milk.
How To Make Eggnog Hot Chocolate
- Add the cocoa powder, sugar, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla to a small or medium saucepan.
- Then add the milk.
- Finally, pour in the eggnog and whisk together over medium heat until done.
- Remove from heat and pour into two mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows or enjoy plain!
Rebecca’s Tips
- This recipe makes 2 to 3 servings. If you only need one, just halve the recipe or you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat it on the stovetop.
- For a thicker hot chocolate, half & half or heavy cream may be used instead of milk.
