15 of the Best Store-Bought Egg Nogs, According to the Reviews

When checking the refrigerated section, you'll find a treat only available this time of the year: egg nog!

But which egg nogs are the best? Here are some of the brands out there that reviewers say you need to add to your fridge and are also affordable if you’re trying to save money shopping this season.

The trick with egg nog is that it can’t be too sweet or thick, and Turkey Hill strikes the right balance. According to Food Network taste testers, It's also super nutmeg-friendly if you prefer that.

In addition to drinking it straight, Turkey Hill has recipes on its website for you to try, including egg nog drink recipes with their brand of egg nog.

You can pick up half a gallon of Turkey Hill Egg Nog for around $6 or a pint for about $3 at your local grocery store.

One of the more widely available brands is Southern Comfort Egg Nog, which reviewers found to be a little thicker than other nogs.

That could make it great if you like the creamier versions of egg nog or want to add it to drinks.

Check out the Southern Comfort Egg Nog at your local stores, where it could cost you around $3.60 for a one-quart container.

Mix a bit of Christmas with a dash of autumn to get the Hood Pumpkin Egg Nog.

The mix of the two flavors gives this egg nog a taste of pumpkin pie in a glass, according to Eat This, Not That. It may be a great option for people who don’t want just egg nog or want to try it with a twist.

You can get a 32-ounce carton of Hood Pumpkin Egg Nog for around $3.99 at your local grocery store.

According to reviewers, Lactaid Egg Nog may lack dairy, but it doesn’t lack flavor.

It may not be as thick as some of the other egg nogs on this list, but it’s still flavorful and a great option for those who are lactose-sensitive or lactose-intolerant.

Get a quart of Lactaid Egg Nog for around $3.15, but check local stores and prices to see if you can find that deal near you.

It may be a little harder to find as it’s made in Ontario, Canada, and costs around $5.99 per bottle. But reviews say it’s worth the cost and effort if you can find some at a local store.

One of the downsides of egg nog is that it can be heavy and packed with calories on top of all the cookies and dinners you have during the holidays.

But reviewers gave Boathouse Farms Egg Nog a thumbs up for using low-fat milk to reduce some of the heaviness.

Grab some Boathouse Farms Egg Nog for around $5.99, which is a little pricier than other nogs but comes in a larger 52-ounce container.
