Can I make cozy holiday coffee without a blender?

Yes, but the texture will be less frothy. A vigorous whisk in a saucepan can help mimic the effect.

What’s the best eggnog for this recipe?

Any eggnog works, but plant-based versions with real spices and a creamy consistency offer the best result.

How long does cozy holiday coffee last in the fridge?

Store it for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before reheating, as natural separation may occur.

Can I use espresso instead of brewed coffee?

Absolutely. Swap in 2 shots of espresso for a stronger, more concentrated version.

How do I scale this cozy holiday coffee for a crowd?

Simply multiply each ingredient by the number of servings. Blend in batches and keep warm in a slow cooker or insulated pitcher.

Ingredients

½ cup almond milk
¾ cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade vegan eggnog)
1 cup brewed coffee (hot or cooled)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or maple syrup)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions

Add almond milk, eggnog, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds until smooth and slightly frothy.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium until steaming hot, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
Divide the latte between two mugs.
Top with whipped cream and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

Cashew or oat milk can be used instead of almond milk for a creamier texture.
Use decaf coffee for a caffeine-free version.
Omit the sweetener if your eggnog is already very sweet.
Add a splash of bourbon or rum for a boozy twist.
