The holidays are quickly approaching, and many are excited as October is the beginning of the best time of the year. It starts with Halloween, then goes to Thanksgiving, ending with Christmas and the end of the calendar year. Many will travel for the holidays, some will see family members they only see this time of year, and many will enjoy time off from work without having to use their coveted paid time off. Another great part of the holidays is the food and drinks that come with them, which are typically only enjoyed this time of year. One holiday drink that many enjoy is now available, despite Christmas being a couple of months away, and you may not know that you can buy it in Idaho already.

When Halloween rolls around, everyone is excited to load up on candy. When Thanksgiving arrives, there are many dishes to enjoy, like green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, turkey, mashed potatoes, and more. Christmas offers a variety of cookies, candies, and food as well, but one that many enjoy is eggnog. The drink is controversial in the fact that there seems to be a great divide with it. Some love it and can't wait for the holidays for it to come out, and there are those who hate it and can't stand to see it; the smell and the taste make them want to vomit. Very few think it is only ok or are indifferent. The drink is typically sipped on around Christmas time, but this year, you can begin drinking it while decorating for Halloween in the Gem State.

For eggnog lovers, it is always exciting when eggnog hits the shelves, as the time is limited each year to enjoy the holiday drink. Most don't think about having a sip until around Thanksgiving or even after the holiday as the days and weeks get closer to Christmas, but it is on shelves now and is available, and if you look at the picture above, you will see that the carton is even representing Halloween. Is this too soon to be enjoying eggnog? With temperatures still warm on some days, eggnog is not something many are craving, but on days when the temperatures dip, the wind picks up, and the rain comes down, sipping a glass is not the worst idea. Is October too soon for eggnog?

For those who enjoy eggnog, the wait is over, and you can begin enjoying your first sip of the delicious holiday drink. Get some now, and perhaps then wait so you don't get tired of it before the holiday season arrives. If you love it enough, start drinking and enjoy while supplies last through the rest of the year.
