Apple cider is seasonal because it relies on apple harvesting, but there is no reason to not have pumpkin spice any time of year except for artificial scarcity. The same with eggnog except people don’t like eggnog much to begin with.
But apples are available year round and cider is a great storage method. It is available year round. Preferences and market drivers cause seasonal supply increases.
I’ve found Costco to have decent eggnog, but the regular grocery stores have utter crap. I’ve made it myself, but imo it’s not worth the effort and storage space.
Ok, now same question but for the Christmas lebkuchen and cinnamon stars and all the stuff I would stuff myself with all year round if it was available.

Eggnog is delicious, but if I drank it year round I’d put on a hundred pounds
Can confirm, I gain about 10 pounds each December, probably from the eggnog.

Take the nutmeg out of it, that’s what no one likes about it. That’s basically what custard is, and it’s fucking good.
It’s like a drinkable pudding.
What, boo. Nutmeg is great. My experience with people not liking eggnog is that they don’t like the stuff labeled eggnog you get at the supermarket.
The real stuff, made with egg yolks, with lots of booze, left to age a month or two, excellent.

Those, sir, are fighting words. Eggnog is one of the best parts of the season, and I am willing to die on this hill!

Nah. It was just a bit of an exaggeration. In general not really huge into holidays. But I do love eggnog.
Apple cider can keep for a long time as well. In fact in the 18th century Americans drank it all year round and favoured it over beer.

Damn puritans and removing the alcohol from our cider!
