Five Places in Winnipeg to Get Your Nog On

While cartons of eggnog started to appear on grocery shelves after October, there’s more than one way to experience the rich, creamy vanilla and spicy cinnamon and nutmeg flavours of the classic Christmas treat. Here are our five picks for getting your nog on – rum, brandy or bourbon optional.

1 Eggnog scones at the Pennyloaf Bakery. These iced offerings hit the right note between cake and biscuit for a perfect scone sensation.

2 Eggnog gingerbread macarons at High Tea Bakery. The addition of ginger makes the most of these macarons.

3 Eggnog creme puff from Frenchway Café. Choux pastry, eggnog pastry cream and topped with whipped cream… you’ll need to sit down to savour this sweet.

4 Eggnog-glazed and eggnog cheesecake doughnuts from Oh Doughnuts. Expect the eggnog options to be in heavy rotation at the Broadway Avenue shop – and at their second shop now open on Taylor Avenue.

5 Café Postal house-made eggnog. Love nog but not lactose? Café Postal’s version is vegan and dairy-free. Sip or stir it into your favourite beverage for a taste of the season.
