I tried Trader Joe's Almond Nog because I love eggnog but I can't drink milk without gaining a sick day or days. It was terrible! Did you guys add alcohol to it?
Bud’s Dairy of San Francisco has been my favorite for years. In 2020, it was unavailable. The website says they are in Thailand. My friend, who is 70, recalls hi father taking him to Bud’s I e Cream for a scoop. It was Bud who served him.
I LOVE my Darigold Old Fashioned EggNog! Since they are a Pacific Northwest company, & I'm from the Pacific Northwest, I'm happy to help support my local farmers that supplied the milk to make it!
Darigold is so freaking good! Thick, rich, creamy and full fat. I like grinding fresh nutmeg and adding it into it. Sadly I can't get it now that we moved back east...
I live in Arkansas and our WalMarts carry both varieties of DAIRYGOLD Eggnog: “Classic” and “Old-Fashioned”. Both are great traditional eggnogs but of the two my favorite is the Dairygold “Old-Fashioned”. I drink it more than all others. “HOOD” brand eggnog is very good. “TURKEY HILL” is great. So is “LACTAID” eggnog. “SOUTHERN COMFORT” is not bad, just average - that goes for both their “Classic” and “Vanilla spice”. But so far as the various brands of eggnog I’ve tried (and there have been many), DAIRYGOLD is king - especially their “Old-Fashioned” - followed closely by “HOOD” and “TURKEY HILL”.
Also, this video was about non-alcoholic egg nogs. For a great alcoholic one I recommend (adults only) the Christian Brothers Holiday Nog. Absolutely awesome. Great texture and flavor and not over the top with sweetness or alcohol.
If you live in the S.F. Bay Area, the best egg nog, hands down, is Bud's egg nog. Like their ice cream. There is nothing like it...ANYWHERE! Southern Comfort egg nog is the closest I've been able to find, but it's not even close to the thickness and deep, richness of this nog. I used to buy quarts of it, put it in the freezer, then thaw it out in mid summer when you can really appreciate a good, cold drink. It is so thick and rich, you have to drink it a little at a time!😋🤗🥰
Southern Comfort eggnog in the black and white carton is top shelf stuff. My wife found it last year and it's now my favorite. Also $5 for 1/2 gallon, works. Anyway, you'll enjoy it.
Yes, it was my favorite UNTIL I found "KEMPS GOLDEN EGGNOG"‼️‼️❣️‼️‼️‼️ THAT'S 5 YEARS AGO AND IT DEFINITELY IS THE BEST THAT THERE IS! I'M ADDICTED TO IT ‼️
I'll have to try out Trader Joe's or Southern Comfort to see if the people that make these videos know what they're talking about. I've always been a fan of Braum's Egg Nog and I seem to remember Borden's Egg Nog being pretty good too. I'm pretty sure most Egg Nogs are made locally so I'm sure that the local area contribute somewhat to the Egg Nog offerings. For those that aren't familiar Braum's is an Oklahoma Dairy products store that has stores all over Oklahoma and parts of Texas -- they might have expanded to other nearby states like Arkansas and New Mexico but I don't know. I haven't tried ALDI's house brand Egg Nog but based on all their other "generic" brand products I bet their Egg Nog is great.
I’m an eggnog EXPERT. It’s my only addiction in life. I personally drink GALLONS each year between Halloween and New Years Day and am VERY PICKY about my eggnog. I’ve tried MANY but only few are worthy of regular consumption. These folks are DEAD WRONG about Lactaid Eggnog. It’s VERY GOOD traditional tasting eggnog. But the best that I’ve had and drink more than any of the other brands sold in my area is “DAIRYGOLD”. Dairygold produces two versions: “Classic” Eggnog and “Old-Fashioned” Eggnog. Both are superb, but my favorite of the two is “Old-Fashioned”. Another great brand is “Hood”. And as I stated up front, “Lactaid” makes a real good eggnog. Don’t hesitate to try it.
I stopped listento the list when theybsaid how bad borders is, I personally like it. I haven't tried some of these other ones yet. But be sure I am going to go find them and buy them if they are available here in florida.
I realize Calder’s Dairy is most likely only sold in Michigan, while kirklands, horizon & Trader Joe’s are all decent none come close to Calder’s. A must have if visiting Michigan around the holiday’s. Might have to try Southern Comfort though, welcome all challengers! Haha
In my opinion, some of the store brands here in Connecticut are the very best egg nonstick available. My favorites are Bowl and Basket from Shoprite, and the Stop and Shop brand.
Huh! I was hoping that m favorite eggnog made the list and was surprised to see it #1! But I’m not that surprised, because Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog is just freaking delicious. But I also wonder if this list is based purely on actual opinions, or if any of it has to do with paid promotion from certain brands.
@@annbrookens945 (: I was really disappointed with their vanilla ice cream ... ... !!!!! ... :( Alot of ice cream Brands and other foods now all have soy!!!!! ... :( I think it is one of the worst things they ever came up with!!!!!
@@annbrookens945 (: I was really disappointed with their vanilla ice cream ... ... !!!!! ... :( Alot of ice cream Brands and other foods now all have soy!!!!! ... :( I think it is one of the worst things they ever came up with!!!!!
Publix's Grocery store brand is the very best out there. The stores are in the South Eastern States only. Thick creamy, perfect selection of spices, very addictive !!!
The ABSOLUTE BEST egg nog I've ever tasted is Farm Stores (in Florida). It is thick, rich and has the best flavor and consistency of any egg nog I've ever tried.
Until last fall, Southern Comfort Traditional Egg Nog was my favorite until I read the ingredient statement which stated that it contained fructose. I now make my own eggnog with maple syrup, honey, or cane sugar. I will now be able to drink eggnog and eat eggnog ice cream all year long.
Southern Comfort Original tops all even though it seems thinner to me this year. But still the best on the market. The vanilla just doesn't belong in egg nog but some like it.
@@Cartier_specialist Most times I would agree. Kirkland batteries outlast Duracell. Most Kirkland branded products live under exactly the same recipe under a different brand name. In the case of the eggnog, though, it's just not as good as some others. That said, everyone's taste is different. I won't say it's _bad_, but I'll say it's not for me.
Jeez! You don't have the BEST EGG NOG THAT THERE IS ON IT‼️‼️‼️ KEMPS GOLDEN EGG NOG! I DRINK IT IN A FROSTED BIG A & W MUG WITH A STRAW! IT'S FANTASTIC ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ I'M TOTALLY ADDICTED TO IT I SWEAR‼️❣️‼️
I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that you didn't even mention Southern Comfort Traditional Eggnog. My hands down favorite...and I've tried their Vanilla and didn't like it. My daughters are not the eggnog enthusiasts that I am and they all loved Silk Almond Nog for its thinner texture with the classic flavor. They find my SC eggnog much too thick.
@@Turnpost2552 nah they only mention the vanilla one. The traditional in the black carton I feel is better as well. Tastes more balanced instead of predominantly vanilla
Pennsylvania Dutch is by far the best alcoholic nog, and this is coming from someone who has probably tried every single brand. The Evan Williams nog was my favorite until I tried the Pennsylvania Dutch. It has just the right amount of booze........can catch a good buzz after a few cups but it's not so loaded down where you taste the booze over the eggnog. Seems like they found the perfect balance. Can still taste all the vanilla and spices which is rare for eggnog loaded with alcohol.
Southern Comfort Traditional is great. The Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice is too sweet for me. Darigold tasted good till you had the Southern Comfort. Both Trader Joes - regular and light - sucked.
Organic Valley Organic Egg Nog. GMO free. The only problem with that statement is that we really don't have/use ANY ingredient that ISN'T a Genetically Modified Organism. Cow, even 'organic' ones, are bred for certain traits, including amount of milk produced. Same with chickens (egg production) and spices (trees bred for the spice). As such "Non-GMO" is a very misleading term. if they wanted to be a little more accurate they should call it "Not Recently Recently Modified". After all, evolution IS Genetic Modification, so if it's not a single-cell organism it's still genetically modified.
I don't buy store eggnog because it has guar gum in it. I hate guar gum's texture. GUMMY. I only drink my homemade because I use the finest ingredients and you can taste it for sure
Borden’s was much better years ago in the cardboard cartons. It actually does taste a bit like plastic now but it’s the only thing available except a few disgusting store brands near me.
What's your favorite brand of eggnog?
Southern Comfort and Dean's
Prairy Farms (local Missouri dairy) Eggnog is nice, smooth and creamy
I tried Trader Joe's Almond Nog because I love eggnog but I can't drink milk without gaining a sick day or days. It was terrible! Did you guys add alcohol to it?
Southern comfort hands down
Bud’s Dairy of San Francisco has been my favorite for years. In 2020, it was unavailable. The website says they are in Thailand. My friend, who is 70, recalls hi father taking him to Bud’s I e Cream for a scoop. It was Bud who served him.
Took an eggnog shot every time she said organic... can't feel my face 🎄
And the Hood Vanilla Eggnog is amazing
You NAILED it...Southern Comfort Egg Nog IS the king of Egg Nogs... without question!
You sir have not had Pennsylvania Dutch
I LOVE my Darigold Old Fashioned EggNog! Since they are a Pacific Northwest company, & I'm from the Pacific Northwest, I'm happy to help support my local farmers that supplied the milk to make it!
Darigold is so freaking good!
Thick, rich, creamy and full fat.
I like grinding fresh nutmeg and adding it into it.
Sadly I can't get it now that we moved back east...
@@iamsnedman When I retire, I know I'll be far enough away that I won't be able to access Darigold anymore. It'll be sad, but happy day all at once!

Yes, Darigold definitely makes the best eggnog!
Southern Comfort Traditional Egg Nog is also a top contender along side the Vanilla Spice version.
✔
Amen for both!!!!!
I get the regular one every year. Will hunt down the vanilla spice this year. Southern Comfort, my favorite.
The vanilla spice eggnog by southern comfort was and still is my favorite
Oh, I absolutely agree about the Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Egg Nog. It's been my go-to drink for years when it's available.
If I'm not making my own, Southern Comfort Black & Braum's are def the best pre-made!
In the Los angeles area, Alta dena eggnog is #1
Also, this video was about non-alcoholic egg nogs. For a great alcoholic one I recommend (adults only) the Christian Brothers Holiday Nog. Absolutely awesome. Great texture and flavor and not over the top with sweetness or alcohol.
@Chris in Indiana I agree! Cheers and Happy Holidays!

You smacked your head and shit. Both of those are gross
My vote definitely goes to Darigold. I like the lack of sweetness, since the other flavors come out more when not overwhelmed by sugar.

THAT'S 5 YEARS AGO AND IT DEFINITELY IS THE BEST THAT THERE IS!
I'M ADDICTED TO IT ‼️
We actually prefer Kroger brand, with or without added alcohol. Otherwise we make our own with rum and brandy for special occasions.
I like the southern comfort brand. But the black carton not the extra vanilla one.
Then mix it with 4 Rose's bourbon.
Try it with Jack Daniels Honey.
Pennsylvania Dutch
We buy Hood or Southern Comfort whatever one that is in stock👍😉
Southern Comfort Eggnog is my lst choice! YUMMMMMMM!
I will try Southern Comfort Egg Nog, it sounds like the Shiznit!
Try the regular one, as opposed to the vanilla spice. It is fabulous.
I make my own for the past three years and I can have it any time of the year if I make it myself and I love it.
Recipe?!?!
Southern Comfort 👍
Traditional, NOT Vanilla Spice!

Homestead creamery has an amazing one
I liked Turkey Hill or Southern Comfort, now I like Stop & Shop's brand better, very creamy.
Our local dairy Anderson Ericson here in Iowa makes some amazing eggnog.
Land-O-Lakes and Braums are my top #1 picks when I shop for Eggnog. SoCo is just too watery for me imho.
Calder's egg nog is the greatest egg nog on earth. There isn't another that even comes close to calders
I realize Calder’s Dairy is most likely only sold in Michigan, while kirklands, horizon & Trader Joe’s are all decent none come close to Calder’s. A must have if visiting Michigan around the holiday’s. Might have to try Southern Comfort though, welcome all challengers! Haha
Calders is hands down the greatest egg nog there is. It's not even close
In my opinion, some of the store brands here in Connecticut are the very best egg nonstick available. My favorites are Bowl and Basket from Shoprite, and the Stop and Shop brand.
I tried the Almond Breeze eggnog and it was alright for a dairy-free option, its thicker and has more flavor compared to the Silk soy one.
I love Lactaid Eggnog! And Baskin Robbins egg nog milkshakes!
Huh! I was hoping that m favorite eggnog made the list and was surprised to see it #1! But I’m not that surprised, because Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog is just freaking delicious. But I also wonder if this list is based purely on actual opinions, or if any of it has to do with paid promotion from certain brands.
The local ShopRite store brand is very good. Better than turkey hill. Haven't tried Costco. Nothing beats home-made though.
No kroger? I know there's better out there but i think it has a place on this list
We like the Kroger brand.
*Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog* 🤗 I buy 12 quarts every first week of December! 👍
Living right near Turkey Hill I must agree!!
I've never seen Turkey Hill eggnog for sale where I shop in central Illinois but their eggnog ice cream is delicious!

Walmart store brand,hood,Bordon,southern comfort, and darigold
Our local dairy makes very good egg nog besides my own homemade is pretty good too.
In upstate New York, Stewart's brand is the area favorite. Very high quality stuff.
Bud’s is the best but I don’t think it’s available outside the SF Bay Area
In my area the best hands down is Alexandre Farms. The best mix of flavor, texture, and smoothness.
Best Store-Bought Eggnog review ever!
President's Choice from Canada! Eh!
Publix's Grocery store brand is the very best out there. The stores are in the South Eastern States only. Thick creamy, perfect selection of spices, very addictive !!!
The ABSOLUTE BEST egg nog I've ever tasted is Farm Stores (in Florida). It is thick, rich and has the best flavor and consistency of any egg nog I've ever tried.

Borden’s eggnog is my favorite 😅
Borden’s eggnog is the best.
Borden's is so good, not sure how it ended up dead last, especially behind Lactaid, that's just stupid
Pretty sure I've drank burden eggnog and loved it also. To each their own.
Cuz of these booshy surface dwelling pussfied ppl on yt...
Hiland's eggnog and Braum's eggnog is the best!
When they got to #3 and still had not said SoCo eggnog i was like WTF they didnt get that one...then #1, and was like "Oh yea!"
Felt the same about Pennsylvania Dutch, and the didn't even list it
But they didn't mention SoCo Traditional!
I like southern comfort and bud’s
We have. TG Lee's locally. It's okay. 🎄🎉🎁🥚
Southern Comfort Original tops all even though it seems thinner to me this year. But still the best on the market. The vanilla just doesn't belong in egg nog but some like it.
Thought southern comfort was thin as well but definitely has the best blend of spices and cinnamon stands out to me which I love.
Costco's Kirkland Signature is the best egg nog.
Not even close. Lucerne is the best you can buy in Canada.
If Kirkland puts signature on a product it typically lives up to the name in my experience.
@@Cartier_specialist Most times I would agree. Kirkland batteries outlast Duracell. Most Kirkland branded products live under exactly the same recipe under a different brand name.
In the case of the eggnog, though, it's just not as good as some others. That said, everyone's taste is different. I won't say it's _bad_, but I'll say it's not for me.
@@jeniferjohnson374 I'll pass. I dislike Southern Comfort. A little cheap Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum would be far better. Again, by tastebud's opinion.
We just discovered Costco’s egg nog a month ago. Love it! It’s not too thick and just the right about of alcohol
My favorite eggnogg by far is the H.E.B brand eggnogg. Not the lite but the regular kind. Man it's good
Have you tried the one in the glass bottles, yet? Soooo good. Gotta add nutmeg to it though.
@@sarahatanasio1337 I'll have to try it out
Darigold is number 1 in my house. Second would be southern comfort
United Dairy Farms Egg Nog is Fantastic!
Jeez! You don't have the BEST EGG NOG THAT THERE IS ON IT‼️‼️‼️
KEMPS GOLDEN EGG NOG!
I DRINK IT IN A FROSTED BIG A & W MUG WITH A STRAW!
IT'S FANTASTIC ‼️ ‼️ ‼️
I'M TOTALLY ADDICTED TO IT I SWEAR‼️❣️‼️
Another Eggnog to *AVOID* is Friendly Farms Almond Nut nog. (so watered down, you might as well be drinking white water w/dash of nutmeg)
Silknog is my favoriite.
I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that you didn't even mention Southern Comfort Traditional Eggnog. My hands down favorite...and I've tried their Vanilla and didn't like it.

Its the last one in the list. lol Watch the entire video
@@Turnpost2552 nah they only mention the vanilla one. The traditional in the black carton I feel is better as well. Tastes more balanced instead of predominantly vanilla
Oberweis makes the best egg nog in the world. Makes sense cuz they have the absolute best milk too
How is Pennsylvania Dutch not on this list and not #1? I agree Southern Comfort is #2 and my mom cuts her Dutch with it.
My fave was #1 YAY!
Southern comfort is the best
Smiths Egg Nog is hands down the best.
Kemps premium golden eggnog is the only brand i will buy
Publix makes the best eggnogg!
Its ok. TG Lee's is better, Florida. I prefer Zachariah Harris blend. Good Xmas drink 🎁🎉🎄🥚🎅
Kroger Premium Egg Nog with Nutmeg, ummm
The holiday nog is good--add it and never had chunks
Its the nutmeg. That is what makes the difference
I might actually try egg nog now
So if its from outside the US how come I've never seen or heard of it unless its on an American TV show
Hartzler is the best I'd had from Ohio
Alta Dena in So. CAL. Then Trader Joe's.
Pennsylvania Dutch is the best I’ve ever tasted. And I was not an eggnog fan.
Pennsylvania Dutch is by far the best alcoholic nog, and this is coming from someone who has probably tried every single brand. The Evan Williams nog was my favorite until I tried the Pennsylvania Dutch. It has just the right amount of booze........can catch a good buzz after a few cups but it's not so loaded down where you taste the booze over the eggnog. Seems like they found the perfect balance.

Southern Comfort Traditional is great. The Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice is too sweet for me. Darigold tasted good till you had the Southern Comfort. Both Trader Joes - regular and light - sucked.
Dos Pinos Rompope is the best!
A2 milk make your own and A2 creamer.
Evan Williams is the best
Stewart’s is the best in northern New York
Trader Joe's is the best I have had, no question.
Costco is better and cheaper.
We have maybe one brand where I live.
I make my own.
You forgot to put the best eggnog on your list ( Buds Eggnog )

Jeez, how many times can organic be said in one video?
Strauss
HEB is the best
I don't buy store eggnog because it has guar gum in it. I hate guar gum's texture. GUMMY. I only drink my homemade because I use the finest ingredients and you can taste it for sure
There is no such thing as a non GMO. We've bread every animal and food to our liking.
Truth post of the year!
Ronnybrook is king for me!
Where’s tg lee?
“Holiday Nog”? Is the word “egg” offensive now?
Probably
This is based on opinion
You forgot the very best brand. T.G.Lee is so good, you'll want to completely redo this video.
C. F. Burger
Borden’s was much better years ago in the cardboard cartons. It actually does taste a bit like plastic now but it’s the only thing available except a few disgusting store brands near me.
Update: Borden’s is no more….sold to Hiland and all Borden products cleared off the shelves just before thanksgiving.
Lucerne & Darigold egg nog is really thick, but the both taste nasty.
It took you almost twelve minutes to write down 17 brands of egg nog you must write real slow!
