With Christmas just a couple days away, I wanted to share this recipe before it’s too late! This Holiday Eggnog Bread is quick and delicious. My family loooooves eggnog. Me? Not so much. But this bread is moist and tastes so good. It’s the perfect compromise and would be great for Christmas breakfast. It’s also perfect for leftover eggnog.

The original recipe found at Mommy I’m Hungry calls for rum in the batter. We don’t drink at our house so I replaced rum with orange juice (love using that trick in baking!). If you want to add the rum, go for it! It also didn’t call for orange juice in the glaze but I thought it might add a oomph and I love the citrus-y flavor.
Still not convinced? I have a whole bunch of other recipes to try:

This is probably the only way I can drink eggnog! :) I love your website and it’s hard to pick what I like more; recipes or printables. They’re both wonderful and you’re so talented!

Hey there, going to make this bread today… Do you think it will keep over night? Also, I have Malibu rum which is coconut flavored… Do you think this flavor would go with the bread? Or should I stick to the orange juice (don’t have regular rum)?
Thanks!
