Every Vegan Eggnog Review (Updated 2022)

We tried 16 different vegan eggnog brands and we’re ranking them by which one is best! See our results and learn more!

If you were a fan of eggnog before going vegan or dairy free/egg free, you may be thinking there’s not even an option.  Luckily, there are plenty of vegan eggnog brands out there now. 

And we’ve grabbed all the ones that we could find in order to tell you which one we think tastes best.

Now, if you have already tried some of these, we do realize that some people’s taste buds are different than ours, so full disclosure, you may not agree with us.

However, we really just want to be able to provide a baseline of what people should expect. 

We should all be able to agree on thickness or thinness of the vegan eggnog and that was one of the factors that we graded on during our vegan eggnog taste test.

The other factor that we looked at was the taste.  And this is where we know we may see some differing opinions.

So let’s get right to our opinions and see if your favorite (if you have one already) made the cut for us!  

Note: We originally did this taste test in December 2019 and only found 5 brands. The updated version for 2022 had 16 and we know of at least 2 more we couldn’t find.

Ingredients: Almondmilk (Filtered Water, Almonds), Cane Sugar, Ric Starch, Natural Flavors, Calcium Carbonate, Guar Gum, Sea Salt, Potassium Citrate, Fruit and Vegetable Juice (Color), Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Spice

Allergens: Almonds, Sunflower

Thoughts: This is the best almond based vegan egg nog on the market; however, we particularly don’t care for that taste. It is the thickest one when comparing the almond ones and is spiced nicely.

Califia Farms Holiday Nog

Price: $4.99

Location: Califia Farms Store Locator

Ingredients: Almondmilk (Filtered Water, Almonds), Cane Sugar, Natural Flavor, Calcium Carbonate, Fruit and Vegetable Juice for Color, Sunflower Lecithin, Ginger, Sea Salt, Potassium Citrate, Guar Gum, Nutmeg.

Thoughts: This is a no for us. It has an aritifical perfume-y taste and it’s not very thick at all.

Chobani Oat Nog

Price: $4.39

Location: Chobani Store locator

Ingredients: Oat blend (water, whole grain oats), cane sugar,rapeseed oil, contains 2% or less of: natural flavors, sea salt, calcium carbonate, gellan gum, dipotassium phosphate.

Thoughts: It’s more watered down than the creamier ones; however, this tastes like a spiced oat milk. It doesn’t taste like egg nog. We like this one for the flavor but it’s not egg nog.

Allergens: No top allergens listed.

Elmhurst Oat Nog

Price: $5.49

Location: Elmhurst Store locator

Ingredients: Filtered Water, Whole Grain Oats, Cashews, Cane Sugar, Natural Flavors, Salt

Thoughts: We thought this would be super creamy with the oats and cashews, but it isn’t. Not as thick as you want eggnog to be but don’t mind the taste overall.

Allergens: Cashews.

Good Karma Holiday Nog

Price: $3.00

Location: Good Karma does not list their Nog on the website. We found at Sprouts.

Ingredients: FLAXMILK (FILTERED WATER, COLD PRESSED FLAX OIL), CANE SUGAR, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SUNFLOWER LECITHIN, SEA SALT, VANILLA EXTRACT, NATURAL FLAVORS, XANTHAN GUM, SPICE EXTRACTS (NUTMEG. GINGER), GELLAN GUM, TURMERIC (FOR COLOR), VITAMIN A PALMITATE, VITAMIN D2, VITAMIN B12.

Price: $3.99

Location: Harmless Harvest Store Locator.

Ingredients: Organic Coconut Water, Organic Coconut Meat, Water, Organic Natural Flavors, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Nutmeg.

Thoughts: This was not good at all! Larisha spit it out and Andrew wouldn’t try it based off the smell (and Larisha’s reaction).

Milkadamia Veggnog

Price: $4.99

Location: Milkadamia does not list their Nog on the website. We found at Sprouts.

Ingredients: Macadamia Milk (Filtered Water, Macadamias), Cane Sugar, Calcium Phosphate, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Sunflower Lecithin, Sea Salt, Gellan Gum, Vitamin D2.

Thoughts: It’s thicker than the almond based ones but still not super thick and the overall taste of egg nog just isn’t there for us, but it’s not a horrible choice if that’s all you can find.

Allergens: Macadamia Nuts, Sunflowers

Natural By Nature Oat Nog

Price: $4.29

Location: Natural by Nature does not list their Nog on the website. We found at Mom’s Organic Market.

Ingredients: Organic Oat Base (water, organic oat flakes), Organic rapeseed oil, organic cane sugar, egg nog flavoring, salt, guar gum, organic cinnamon, organic turmeric, gellan gum.

Allergens: No top 8 allergens listed.

Thoughts: Super creamy. Spiced well (but could always use a tad more), but you won’t be disappointed with it.

Note: We think this is the same as Sprouts.

Silk Nog

Price: $3.39

Location: Silk Store Locator

Ingredients: Soymilk (Filtered Water, Soybeans), Cane Sugar, Less than 0.5% of: Locust Bean Gum, Sea Salt, Rum, Natural Flavor, Turmeric and Annatto (For Color).

Location: So Delicious Store Locator

Ingredients: Coconutmilk (Filtered Water, Coconut Cream), Cane Sugar, Sea Salt, Guar Gum, Nutmeg, Natural Flavor, Xanthan Gum, Annatto Extract (Color Added).

Ingredients: Organic Oat Base (water, organic oat flakes), organic cane sugar, Organic rapeseed oil, egg nog flavoring, guar gum, salt, organic cinnamon, organic turmeric, gellan gum.

Allergens: No top allergens listed.

Thoughts: This one was thick and creamy and spiced nicely. Larisha still wanted it spiced a bit more, but overall it was delicious. There was a little bit of an artificial taste that Larisha compared to bubblegum but Andrew said he didn’t taste it. Compared to the others, this is a win.

Note: We think this is the same as Natural by Nature.

Target Good & Gather Oatmilk Holiday Nog

Price: $3.49

Thoughts: It tastes like really creamy oat milk but there’s not really any spice there so we’d recommend adding spice to it.

Ingredients: WATER, HYDROLYZED OATS, CANE SUGAR, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF SUNFLOWER OIL, NUTMEG, TURMERIC [FOR COLOR], ANNATTO EXTRACT [FOR COLOR], NATURAL FLAVORS, XANTHAN GUM, GELLAN GUM, CALCIUM CARBONATE, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SEA SALT, TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE, CITRIC ACID (ACIDIFIER), VITAMIN A PALMITATE, VITAMIN D2, RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), VITAMIN B12.

Thoughts: Doesn’t really taste like eggnog again to us and we wouldn’t purchase it again. Almost seems artificial in taste.

Misunderstood Whiskey Oat Nog

Price: $25.99

Location: Misunderstood Whiskey Store Locator

Ingredients: will update if/when the company responds to our request

Allergens: will update if/when the company responds to our request

Thoughts: If you loved traditional whiskey based egg nog we thick you will love this one, but it is definitely alcohol based (strong whiskey flavor). It isn’t super thick so if you prefer a creamier egg nog, you may prefer to mix in one of our top options.

Note: This does contain alcohol. Please drink responsibly.

Which brings us to our winner!

We were surprisingly shocked by our results. It was interesting to see where things fell when tasting so many when we didn’t really have much to go off of 3 years ago. Things have changed a lot.

Here’s our Top 3:

• Natural by Nature/Sprouts – We honestly think these are the same two products just with different labels, so they are Tied for first place.
• Our #2 spot goes to So Delicious. This was our Number 1 in 2019, and was nudge out with stiff competition
• Spot 3- Trader Joes
• Spot 4 – Target

If you buy 3 or 4 you will definitely want to add a bit more of your own spices to it.

That rounds out our Top 5 brands that we think you should buy!

If you prefer an Almond Based one – then we recommend you buy Almond Breeze.
