Now, I know not everyone is a fan of eggnog. There seems to be two camps in the eggnog kingdom. The “I love this stuff and I can’t wait until fall rolls around so I can buy it by the gallon” side and the “Gross.” side. My husband is the former, and I am the latter. But I like to try new things, and I’ve had sips of his eggnog milkshake a time or two before, so I thought this eggnog punch recipe sounded pretty tasty.

I’ll admit, it’s so festive! And anything made with ice cream is going to be at least a little bit yummy. 🙂 We had some friends over for a little Christmas party of sorts, and I made a batch for the evening. It was super easy- comes together in less than 5 minutes and it didn’t taste overwhelmingly “eggnog-y”. Ha ha. Spell check is having a fit right now.

You’ll need a large punch bowl for this Eggnog Punch recipe so there’s room for all the ice cream and other goodies in there. Plus, you have to stir and mash it up a bit, so you don’t want the punch splashing over the sides. I like this punch bowl available on Amazon because it’s large, but it’s plastic so it won’t be insanely heavy. Plus, it’s affordable compared to the large glass or metal punch bowls!

Don’t forget to add candy canes to edges of the bowl! They infuse a gentle peppermint flavor into the punch, and guests can add them to their cups to enjoy with the Eggnog Punch.
