Origins of eggnog
America’s first batch of eggnog was made in the Jamestown settlement in 1607. Its name comes from the word “grog”, meaning any drink made with rum. Non-alcoholic eggnog is popular as well. Fact source![The original Rudolph](http://brainyfacts.net/wp-content/uploads/The-original-Rudolph.jpg)
