Rum & eggnog is a good tradition in some Caribbean households during the holidays. Add cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Make it as strong or light as you wish for sipping (not getting overly drunk).

Alternatives which are more difficult to make is 'Coquito' which is even richer in fat content but the same principles.
