Peppermint Eggnog Milkshake

Christmas is less than a month away and if your family is anything like mine, planning ahead for the holiday parties is just starting. I cannot deny my love affair for peppermint flavored treats. Although December is a pretty cold month in general, milkshakes are a great additional for anyone who hibernates inside during these months. Having a fireplace in use everyday as well as heat in a house makes me crave cold treats too. Peppermint Eggnog milkshakes are a fun and creative treat for the kids as well as adults. To make this an adult beverage, simply add peppermint flavored liquor to the milkshake.
