Okay, I think this is the last Christmas treat I’ll be sharing this year.
The kids last day of school is today and, you guys, it’s almost impossible to find time for a blog post when they’re home. Also, it’s Christmas break! You’re supposed to be building gingerbread houses, watching the same Christmas movies over and over, and going to see the lights!
Oh my gosh, speaking of lights! The lake by our house does a huge lightshow every year and we went at least 2 times last year and everyone loved it. So I had the brilliant idea to go this past Saturday.
Don’t go on a Saturday.
The Jeep had plenty of gas when we got there and then we spent an hour in line. I spent the entire 5 ½ miles of lights panicking because the Jeep just starts flashing “LO FUEL” at a certain point instead of telling me exactly how many miles I have left.
We also did gingerbread houses this past weekend and I lost both the Instagram and Facebook poll about whether mine or BF’s house was cuter.

How Long Is Fudge Good For?
This eggnog fudge will be good in the fridge for several weeks if stored in an airtight container. I love these super airtight glass containers because they keep everything fresh for as long as possible.
Can You Freeze Fudge?
You can definitely freeze homemade fudge! It’s a great way to get a jumpstart on your holiday baking.
I recommend wrapping the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and then putting it in an airtight freezer bag.
It will be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve it, let the fudge sit in the fridge overnight.

I have my own eggnog (family secret 😉) if I used it, would it make a difference in the making of the fudge?
Amanda Livesay says
I don’t think so. As long as it’s about the same consistency of store-bought eggnog.
