Whether it is a family get-together or an office party, eggnog is a festive part of the holidays. Crystal will make approximately 200,000 gallons of eggnog during the holiday season and their products are available to residents of 22 Northern California counties. Sales of Crystal eggnog are boosted by their corporate spokesperson, comedian Jack Gallagher. He is the host of the PBS program Money Moves .
Crystal sells eggnog in quart, pint and half-gallon containers.
A seasonal label on some of their containers, featuring a cow on a snowmobile, adds to the holiday spirit. Eggnog is only available from, roughly, Halloween through New Year's Day. Crystal starts making eggnog in late October and stops production of eggnog shortly after Christmas. Traditional eggnog ingredients include egg yolks, nutmeg, sugar, milk and cream. Many Californians enjoy adding their own special ingredient at home, such as sherry, rum or brandy.
