Steps:

• Set aside 2 or 3 round scoops of ice cream in the freezer for garnish. Stir remaining ice cream until softened. Gradually stir in eggnog and rum. Transfer to a punch bowl, and stir in ginger ale. Hang candy canes around the edge of the punchbowl. Float reserved ice cream scoops on top, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the peppermint mocha eggnog: Add the cinnamon stick and chocolate chips to a slow cooker and turn the heat to high.
• In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Whisk in the milk, heavy cream, Starbucks® Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino®, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt.
• Pour the egg mixture into the slow cooker and reduce the heat to low. Cook, whisking occasionally to ensure that the chocolate melts and the eggs do not curdle, for about 3 hours, or until the mixture thickens slightly and the temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
• Make the dipping deer: Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe tall glass or jar. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted, (If you don't have a tall, heatproof vessel, microwave the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour into a glass or jar once melted).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dip the bottom of a candy cane in the chocolate to coat about ⅔ of the way up the shaft (leaving enough of the hook uncovered to look like antlers). Gently shake off any excess chocolate and lay flat on the prepared sheet. Dip a second candy cane, then place directly next to the first candy cane so they hold together with the hooks facing opposite directions. Immediately place 2 candy eyes toward the top of the chocolate-dipped part and one red candy below the eyes to make the nose. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for 10 reindeer total. Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to harden, or until ready to use.
• Serve the dipping deer alongside the eggnog.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the peppermint syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved (about a minute). Remove from heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
• Make your peppermint mochas: In a 3-quart or larger slow cooker/Crock Pot, stir together the milk, espresso/coffee, chocolate chips, and peppermint syrup.
• Cook covered on low for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to help distribute the melting chocolate, until steaming. You can also cook it on high for about an hour and fifteen minutes (depending on your slow cooker), stirring often - just watch it a little more carefully when the slow cooker is on high. Reduce heat to warm and keep covered once the mocha has heated to steaming.
• Serve in festive mugs, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to slow cooker and stir.
• Cook on high for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Top with whipped cream and drizzle caramel on top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat 3 cups (720 ml) of milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming, 5-6 minutes (do not allow it to come to a boil.)
• While the milk is warming, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until pale yellow in color, 1-2 minutes.
• Once the milk has begun to steam, slowly pour half into the egg mixture while continuously whisking so the eggs don't scramble. Once combined, slowly pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan. 4. Keep warm over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Place a medium bowl in the ice bath and set a fine-mesh sieve on top. Pour the egg mixture through the sieve to remove any unwanted egg bits.
• Remove the sieve and add the remaining cup of milk and heavy cream, and stir to combine. Let cool for 20 minutes, stirring every 5. Add the rum, if desired, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The eggnog will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Serve with freshly grated nutmeg on top.
• Enjoy!
