About the Recipe
This is a great festive drink without all the calories of eggnog. If you still prefer a creamier drink, try substituting some of the cranberry juice with low-fat coconut milk. Red cranberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, but because white cranberries are picked underripe, they may contain fewer antioxidants. So if you want an even healthier drink that's still pretty colorful, go ahead and use red cranberry juice!
