Steps:
- Grease a 9 inch square pan and set aside.
- Combine the sugar, butter, eggnog, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to melt the butter. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, stop stirring, and clip a candy thermometer onto the pan.
- Heat mixture to 235 degrees F (113 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate pieces, marshmallow cream, vanilla, and walnuts. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until fluffy and it starts to lose its gloss. Spoon into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Cool completely, then cut into small squares for serving.

Tips:
- For a smoother fudge, use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature (234°F/112°C).
- Do not overcook the sugar mixture, as this can cause the fudge to become grainy.
- Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from burning.
- If the fudge becomes too thick, add a little milk or cream.
- If the fudge is too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
- To make peppermint fudge, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to the fudge mixture.
- To make chocolate fudge, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the fudge mixture.
- To make peanut butter fudge, add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the fudge mixture.
- Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze the fudge for up to 3 months.
