Eggnog, also known as egg nog, is a sweetened dairy-based beverage made with milk and/or cream, sugar and beaten eggs (which gives it a frothy texture), and flavoured with ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Various liquors, such as brandy, rum, whiskey, advocaat and/or liqueurs, are often added.

Sounds quite sickly actually.

I'm not sure if the sort I'm accustomed to drinking is made with real eggs, I know a lot of people make their own and homemande eggnog can be pretty good too.

It tastes delicious, I urge everyone who's never tried it to have a glass.

I'll stick to the chocolate and turkey.

If I spot any while I'm out and about I'll try it.

Never tried it, but knew what it was. I just saw it as a legal "alcoholic" beverage served at Christmas to anyone in the family (at least which cartoons always portray with drunken characters :P) Not sure I'd like it though, doesn't sound too pleasant and may be an acquired taste, like how different the chocolate is between the UK and the US.

It's called Advocaat over here.

I don't like it very much! I tried it for the first time last Christmas. It's okay I suppose, but it's also very unhealthy and being the health nut I usually am, I try not to drink too much. I think it's definitely an acquired taste, it got a bit better after I had it a couple times. I actually put it in my coffee once last year :O wasn't bad tbh! if you're scared about it, put it in some coffee!

I dont like it at all! I have only tried it once though and that was a couple of years ago

i know what it is but would never have it lol

I've never tried eggnog, but I certainly have heard of it and it sounds very sickly indeed! :P Maybe something I would like to try over christmas though. :)
