Can I serve this non-alcoholic pumpkin nog warm?

Yes! Blend the base a day in advance, chill, and add whipped cream right before serving for a stress-free holiday prep.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Completely! It’s rich, creamy, and alcohol-free — the perfect festive nog for the whole family.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Substitute oat milk or almond milk for dairy milk, and use dairy-free heavy cream instead for a plant-based pumpkin nog.

Add a dash of nutmeg or pumpkin spice before serving for that classic holiday aroma.
Pair with pumpkin pie, gingerbread cookies, or cinnamon rolls for a cozy holiday spread.
