Christmas breakfast here we come! Lucky for me, since I just made these, I got this Christmas style breakfast a week early. Yesterday I took my latest favorite holiday cookie, these Melt-In-Your-Mouth Eggnog Cookies, to my in-laws family Christmas party.

Yes, I wanted to devour all 30-whatever of those cookies, but somehow I managed to get them to the party :). Since I woke up this morning and my cookies were gone, but I still had half of a carton of eggnog, I decided to make another holiday inspired treat.

Me and my kids call these “Santa Drink Muffins” because we all know eggnog is the preferred drink for Santa Clause.

I’m pretty sure eggnog is available all year where I live but I try to resist buying it until the holidays because it makes it that much more savored and enjoyed.

These muffins need to find there way to your breakfast table at least once this holiday season. Tis the season for celebration and what better way to celebrate than with Eggnog Doughnut Muffins for breakfast?

If you like cake doughnuts or eggnog, you’ll love bitting into one of these muffins, through that deliciously nutmeg spiced, shell-like glaze and into a perfectly soft and moist, eggnog flavored crumb.

How could you not want one? Enjoy!
