'Tis the season to drink egg nog, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

Except I can't drink dairy. So it is time to try a couple dairy-free alternatives. Both surprisingly work well enough to fill the christmas beverage void in a pinch, but there's room for criticism, too.

Silk Nog Original

Pros: relatively inexpensive, good flavor

Cons: watery. Very much the wrong consistency.

Califa Holiday Nog Almond Milk

Pros: better consistency

Cons: price

Other notes: almond flavor is quite pronounced. Some may object. Others may not mind.
