One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can enjoy it warm for a soothing Christmas drink or chill it and serve it as a dessert style treat. Add a little extra Nutella for a richer flavor or adjust the sweetness by using more or less condensed milk. You can also customize the spices to match your holiday preferences. For adults, a splash of Baileys, rum, or hazelnut liqueur turns this Nutella eggnog into a festive cocktail that is perfect for holiday gatherings.
