Steps:
- Heat a hot-glue gun.
- Glue 3 buttons down the front of 4 pint-size (16-ounce) mason jars. Cut 4 strips of red or green felt, each 1 1/4 inches by 18 inches. Snip fringe into the ends of the felt with scissors. Wrap a felt scarf around the neck of each jar.
- Put the milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice and banana in a blender and blend on high speed until the banana liquifies and the drink is thick and creamy. Pour into the decorated jars and mound whipped cream on top of each drink so it's taller than the rim. Grate more nutmeg on top. Insert a straw and sprinkle confectioners' sugar snow over everything.
BANANA NOG
During my family's annual cookie exchange, we ran out of our beloved eggnog...much to everyone's horror! So into the kitchen I went to create this cool, creamy treat. -Jennae LeFebvre, Aurora, Illinois

EGGNOG SMOOTHIE
I LOVE THIS. Okay, I thought this up a few nights ago when I wanted a banana smoothie but didn't have any milk in the fridge. I used regular (not low fat) egg nog from the store since it's what I had, but I'm sure the light kind would be just as good. I know fruit smoothies are usually a little healthier than this, but I think its perfect for brunch during the holidays! (Tip: Peel and break the bananas up before freezing them) Also, the store bought variety of egg nog keeps you from having to spice it yourself.
