Dairy Free Holiday Nog Recipe
Well, as Halloween is now over the full sprint to Christmas is on. I don’t know about you but believe it or not I am just about done with my shopping for the year. Yup. I am an early bird. Today I wanted to share with you some amazing products from Califia Farms that can help you entertain your guests this holiday season.
Always dairy free, beverages from Califia Farms bottle all the delicious taste without the unwanted sugar, calories and ingredients – and its holiday offerings are no different! These holiday-flavored Cold Brew Coffees and Creamers are plant-based and have both purpose and personality. Rethinking traditional holiday beverages, which can be artificially-flavored and sugar-laden, seasonal beverages from Califia Farms offer something truly delicious with fewer calories. This season, for the first time, they are introducing our new Ginger Snap Latte Cold Brew and Pumpkin Spice Better Half (Califia’s take on a better-for-you half & half).
This week I have been tasting everything, and I must admit that I have fallen in love with it all. My favorite would have to be the Almondmilk Holiday Nog. This stuff is AMAZING!! Only 50 calories and a great source of calcium, this RTD dairy-free nog is a delicious alternative to the heavy, highly calorific, dairy-filled nog of yesteryear.

What I adore about the Almondmilk Holiday Nog is that you really can use it for a ton of recipes you might be whipping up this holiday season, not to mention just drink it. Below you will find a little Holiday Nog recipe that I tried using the holiday Nog Cocktail which came out perfectly. But first, let me give you the details on all of the Califia Farms products this year.
