Whether you are just celebrating with the family or having a bigger party, Eggnog is a must this holiday season! Clover Sonoma has you covered! I love their Eggnog because it is so rich and creamy! It truly is the best! Made with American Humane Certified™ milk from local California family farms, this creamy, subtly sweet eggnog is blended with premium ingredients including egg yolks, turmeric, nutmeg, and sugar. The production is so special that they install specialized nozzles on their filling machines just to handle the thicker consistency and those beloved nutmeg specks.

Clover Sonoma offers a library of fun recipes, including several cookie and eggnog mocktail recipes at https://cloversonoma.com/recipes/

Did you know that you can make a great Mocktail with their Eggnog? Well, I didn’t, but I received their Spiked Eggnog Merry Mocktail recipe to try for myself, and it is really good! I’m also planning to make their Eggnog Snickerdoodle Thumbprint cookie recipe that I also received! (See below!)

Another cool thing is that families can scan the QR code on Clover Sonoma products to explore a virtual farm, take a selfie with Clo the Cow, and discover fun surprises.

They come in a variety of fragrances and handcrafted with a blend of natural and essential oils, the collection offers something for every scent preference. A fan favorite- Pistachio Salted Caramel, is often compared to the scent of the famous Brazilian Bum Bum Cream with its warm blend of pistachio, caramel, and vanilla.

This season’s limited-edition fragrance, Holiday Spiced Cider, layers red apple, nectar, berries, orange, cinnamon, amber, and musk to create an inviting aroma reminiscent of a crackling fire and warm apple cider. It is a cozy, nostalgic scent that captures the essence of the holidays.

Glasses and Sunglasses would make the perfect stocking stuffers!
