Eggnog Bread Recipe + Printable North Pole Gift Tag

Celebrate the holidays with this amazing eggnog bread recipe and printable North Pole Baking Co. gift tag.  A few years ago I read an article over at The Salonniere about traditional holiday entertaining. Research conducted by a professional survey firm found the following:

• 80% of people don’t like fruitcake
• 73% of people regift during the holidays (wine, gift cards and candles are the most common items to pass along)
• 62% of people don’t want to go out on New Year’s Eve
• 51% of people don’t like eggnog and 7% aren’t familiar with the taste

People. I get your aversion to fruitcake, I hate leaving the house on New Year’s Even and heaven knows I’ve regifted a candle or two in my time, but friends, I love the taste of eggnog! Today I am teaming up with two dozen other bloggers as a part of Krista’s Seasonal Simplicity Series in sharing a favorite holiday recipe. I am sharing one of my favorite holiday desserts – an eggnog bread recipe! You can find links to ALL of the other recipes being shared at the bottom of this post.

Eggnog Bread Recipe

This eggnog bread recipe has just enough of the eggnog flavor to give you all the holiday feels, without tasting…over the top. It’s a sweet treat even the pickiest of eaters will love. This year I am gifting a loaves of my favorite eggnog bread to select friends and family. I don’t know if they belong to the 49% of people who like eggnog, but I am so confident in this tasty treat I’m not the least bit worried.

A lot of eggnog flavored recipes have alcohol, but since I don’t drink there isn’t any in the house. I do keep a bottle of Trader Joe’s Bourbon Vanilla with the baking supplies and it helps create the perfect flavor in this eggnog bread recipe.

This eggnog bread recipe creates two full loaves or four mini loaves. I almost always prefer to make mini loaves. They’re easy to gift and if I am being completely honest, I don’t feel as bad about polishing off a mini loaf. I like to use these Wilton Mini Loaf Pans.

The bread can be served hot out of the oven, or topped with a delicious glaze. I like to add the glaze and give it a bit of time before I serve it or package it up in a bag.

North Pole Printable Gift Tag

Since I will be gifting some of the loaves I baked up using this eggnog bread recipe, I decided to create a gift tag to tie to the package. I am kind of obsessed with baking at the North Pole this year, so it should be no surprise the phrase appears on this gift tag. It’s perfect for my eggnog bread recipe, but would work well with any holiday treat.

To recreate this eggnog bread gift idea:

1. Scroll down and sign up to get the North Pole Baking Co. Printable Gift Tag.
2. Save the printable and open it on your computer.
3. Send it to your personal color printer at home or take it to a professional print shop. Note: I use a Canon Pixma Pro for all of my printable gift tags and art prints. I find that often it prints a cleaner, clearer image than if I took it to a professional printer. The gift tags will look best printed on bright white 80 lb. cardstock.
4. Trim the gift tags to size. I use this Fiskars trimmer for all of my projects. It’s substantial enough to cut through multiple sheets, while remaining easy to use.
5. Punch a hole in the top of the gift tag. The We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile is one of my favorite craft tools. it will punch through anything, including an entire stack of gift tags with ease.
6. I gave the tags a more finished look by using the We R Memory Keepers Corner Punch. It’s one of my favorite tools for taking a simple gift tag from printable to perfect.
7. Sign the gift tags with a fine point, felt tip marker. I love to use Le Pens. They come in a variety of colors and write so smoothly!
8. Tie the gift tags to the eggnog bread gift bags using some baker’s twine or ribbon.
