The first one is on vegan non-alcoholic Christmas drinks. Here is what I think of them. - B&C Creations Ghirardelli Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix and Vegan Marshmallow Bundle - Califia Farms Holiday Nog - Milkadamia Veggnog - Milkadamia White Chocolate Peppermint - Natural by Nature Oat Nog - Silk Dark Chocolate Peppermint Almond Creamer *You may also like my blog post on* [*vegan Christmas recipes*](https://mischievousmonsters.com/xmas/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com)*.* ## Silk Dark Chocolate Peppermint Almond Creamer (6/10) [Silk’s peppermint almond creamer](https://silk.com/plant-based-products/creamer/almondmilk/dark-chocolate-peppermint-almond-creamer?ref=mischievousmonsters.com) was okay. I didn’t have that high of hopes for it because I disliked Silk’s pumpkin spice almond creamer earlier in [my vegan Thanksgiving product reviews](https://mischievousmonsters.com/thanks-2021-vlog/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com). It had a slightly fake and super strong candy cane flavor. The dark chocolate wasn’t that pronounced. I wished Silk would have emphasized making the peppermint in this taste mintier and less sugary. ## B&C Creations Ghirardelli Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix and Vegan Marshmallow Bundle (5.5/10) I found [this vegan hot chocolate bundle](https://www.amazon.com/Creations-Ghirardelli-Marshmallow-Marshmallows-All-Natural/dp/B09BMD4R4Q/ref=sr%5F1%5F3?keywords=B%26C+Creations&qid=1638626797&sr=8-3&ref=mischievousmonsters.com) on Amazon that was incredibly overpriced. It came with ten individual packets of [Ghirardelli vegan hot chocolate](https://www.ghirardelli.com/chocolate/all-chocolate/hot-cocoa/double-chocolate-premium-hot-cocoa-case-pack-%28400-ct%29-62014cs?ref=mischievousmonsters.com) and two jars of what looked like an off-brand of vegan marshmallows. The hot chocolate was super bitter. I don’t get why the marshmallows were so gross when they had the same manufacturer as Dandies ([Chicago Vegan Foods](https://www.chicagoveganfoods.com/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com)). I wouldn’t be surprised if that manufacturer used the same recipe. My guess is the marshmallows probably got spoiled from the weather while shipping here. ## Milkadamia White Chocolate Peppermint (5/10) [Milkadamia’s white chocolate peppermint macadamia milk](https://shopmilkadamia.com/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com) wasn’t that good. You can faintly taste the white chocolate, and the peppermint was mediocre. I liked this decently better than Milkadamia’s vegan eggnog, but it still tasted like gross water. If you like oat milk, you may like macadamia milk and this seasonal drink, but I wasn’t that big of a fan. ## ****Calling all plant lovers! 🌱** Sign up for my free weekly newsletter to get expert tips on eating more plant-based, mastering your garden, traveling vegan stress-free, and honest reviews of the best plant-friendly products.

The spices were decently powerful, and the drink almost tasted fruity. It looked like you stirred a bunch of egg yolks together to make it, which seemed odd, but I didn’t question it too much. I wished the website would have said more about it besides showing the nutritional information and a picture in the product section. ## Milkadamia Veggnog (3/10) [Milkadamia Veggnog](https://shopmilkadamia.com/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com) looked as bad as it tasted. I thought it was Elmer’s glue for a hot second, and I almost didn’t try it because it didn’t look edible. Besides tasting like horrible water, it seemed weird and spoiled even though it was nowhere near being expired. Also, the branding isn’t consistent with its spelling. The packaging said “Veggnog,” but if you go to the website, the spelling was “Vegnogg” in the page’s regular and meta titles. ## Califia Farms Holiday Nog (2.5/10) [Califia Farms’ vegan eggnog](https://www.califiafarms.com/product-categories/seasonal/?ref=mischievousmonsters.com) was the worst because it tasted like the pink cough medicine I dreaded having when I was a kid. It had a suspicious smell and a funky aftertaste. ## Conclusion I was very disappointed by how bad these vegan Christmas beverages were. I have no clue how any of these drinks sell in the grocery store unless they strive to disappoint people every year.
