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: eggnog!

But which eggnogs 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.

Editor’s note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.

The trick with eggnog 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 eggnog drink recipes with their brand of eggnog.

You can pick up half a gallon of Turkey Hill Eggnog for around $6.

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

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

Check out the Southern Comfort Eggnog at your local stores, where it could cost you around $3.99 for a one-quart container.

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

This may be a great option for people who don’t want just eggnog or want to try it with a twist, as one Influenster reviewer likens it to a yummy pumpkin milkshake. 

You can get a 32-ounce carton of Hood Pumpkin Eggnog for around $3.79 at your local grocery store.

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

It may not be as thick as some of the other eggnogs 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 Eggnog for around $3.99, but check local stores and prices to see if you can find that deal near you.

Check out the Darigold Eggnog from your favorite warehouse retailer, which costs around $6.99, but prices may vary depending on your local Costco.

The eggnog is made from cage-free eggs, and the 59-ounce carton means you’ll have plenty to serve straight for guests or add to lattes.

If you want to try something traditional, check out Farm Boy Organic Eggnog, which comes in a traditional glass bottle for extra enjoyment.

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 eggnog 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 Bolthouse Farms Eggnog a thumbs up for using low-fat milk to reduce some of the heaviness.

Grab a carton for around $6.99. Although it's at the higher end, it comes in a large 52-ounce container.

Another dairy-free option you might want to try is So Delicious Coconutmilk Eggnog, which doesn’t have milk or eggs.

So, while it’s technically not eggnog, it’s also a good alternative for drinkers who may be allergic to eggs or lactose intolerant. 

Get a 32-ounce version for around $3.29 at select retailers.

Ronnybrook's 12-ounce bottle of nog includes a nutmeg kick.

You can find it at local shops, as well as more holistic, natural stores like Whole Foods.

Good and Gather Plant-Based Oatmilk Holiday Nog is another option if you’re looking for a dairy alternative.

Good and Gather is a store brand owned by Target, so your best bet is to search for this oat milk version of nog at your local Target store, usually sold for $3.99 a quart.

Trader Joe’s has great everyday options for shoppers, like mandarin orange chicken. But the retailer also specializes in seasonal items, and its eggnog is no exception.

Check out your local Trader Joe’s for quart-sized containers.

Another favorite of Target shoppers is the Favorite Day store brand, so grab some Favorite Day Eggnog from the refrigerated section on your next Target run.

Your store may be stocked up on a regular or light version in quart containers, depending on your preference.

The Califia Farms Holiday Nog Almond Milk is a great alternative for eggnog drinkers who may have issues with dairy or soy.

Reviewers described it as having a nice creaminess and one they wished was available year-round. 

Find some of Borden’s Premium Eggnog if you’re looking for something with extra creaminess and thicker consistency. Plus, it skips the usual nutmeg ingredient for those who aren't fans of the spice.  

This nog sells for about $3.43 a quart at some local grocery stores.

If you have a Costco membership, pick up their Superior Dairy Eggnog at a Costco Business Center near you.

The retailer is carrying this delicious nog in a half-gallon container, so you’ll have plenty to share to make your membership worth it.

Are you ready to stock your cart with the most delicious eggnog you can find?

Remember to check your wallet for the best credit cards to save money when you go shopping and earn cash back or collect extra points that you can use for other items. 

It’s also a good idea to shop with a list so you can stick to it and keep within your budget if you’re worried about overspending this holiday season.
