Every year before Thanksgiving, one of the grocery stores here has this event called Home for the Holidays. They have all different sorts of drinks, free samples to try, and appetizers. You can go there and eat lunch for the day just trying samples of food. Every year they serve this Peppermint Eggnog Punch. It is probably by far, my favorite Holiday Punch I've tried so far and only requires 3 ingredients.

What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
- Peppermint Ice Cream - This is seasonal ice cream and it can only be bought during the Holidays. I’ve looked trust me, and can never find it after that.
- Eggnog - This is also only available during the Holiday season so get it while it lasts.
- Ginger Ale - Can sub Sprite or add some Liquor!
- Try a vanilla vodka or some Bailey's? It's rich and creamy with peppermint ice cream and eggnog. Southern Comfort is our favorite.

Recipe Tips
- Non-Alcoholic Version: If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the peppermint schnapps with peppermint extract. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as peppermint extract is quite potent.
- Homemade Eggnog: For those who enjoy making things from scratch, homemade eggnog can add an extra layer of flavor to your punch. There are many recipes available online that cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
- Presentation: For an extra festive presentation, consider serving the punch in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful garnishes. You can also rim the glasses with crushed candy canes for a fun and decorative touch.
