This Eggnog Champagne Fizz is a total holiday showstopper! It’s creamy, bubbly, and has just the right amount of festive flair.
Whether you’re hosting a Christmas party or ringing in the New Year, this drink feels fancy but is so simple to make.
It’s a combo of classic eggnog (so comforting) and crisp champagne (so fun!).
Even if you’re not a mixologist, you can totally nail this. Let’s make something magical together!
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup champagne or sparkling wine (chilled)
- 1 oz rum or bourbon (optional for extra kick)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Ground nutmeg (a pinch for garnish)
- Cinnamon stick (for garnish)
Pro Tips
- Chill your champagne and eggnog beforehand for the best fizz and flavor.
- Serve it immediately after mixing to keep it bubbly and fresh.
- Let kids join the fun! Swap champagne for sparkling cider to make it non-alcoholic.
- Use freshly grated nutmeg if you can—it makes the drink feel extra special.
- Don’t overfill your glass! Champagne bubbles can rise quickly and spill over.
Tools You’ll Need
- Champagne flutes or fancy glasses
- Measuring cups
- Small whisk or spoon
Substitutions and Variations
- No champagne? Use sparkling cider or ginger ale.
- Eggnog alternative: Try almond milk or oat milk eggnog for a dairy-free option.
- Spice it up: Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract to your eggnog.
Make-Ahead Tips
This drink is best made fresh, but you can pre-chill the eggnog and champagne to save time.

Carefully pour 1/2 cup of eggnog into your champagne flute.
2. Add rum or bourbon
