I’ve never tasted eggnog and its Heaven call makes me think maybe I should.
What do you think, should I try it?

My advice to you is to judge it only by the real true eggnog. Do not accept anything that comes from a carton bought at the store.

Agreed. The carton-stuff is palatable only with a generous lashing of brandy. The homemade iteration is a very different thing - it can be even like a zabaglione with egg whites beaten in to it.

I must confess that it doesn't appeal to me, but I don't really like rum, so maybe I'm on to a loser from the start.

I’m going to try it if it’s a ‘yes’ and make the recipe if it’s a ‘yes, but only to my amazing recipe’. I’m counting ‘don’t knows’ as spoilt ballots.
I don’t know where I’ll find any if it’s a straight ‘yes!’
Do they sell it in Germany? (Which is where I’ll be)

They call it Eierpunsch (with wine) and can be found in the Christmas markets. Or Eierlikor, which is made with vodka and can be found in stores. IME.

Is it not the same as slightly runnier advocaat?

Make it yourself (it's not hard, use lots of fresh nutmeg, it's great), using whatever hoochamahol you have on hand. I like Jamaican blackstrap rum, but whatevs. Jamaican rum just goes well with sweet and nutmeg. It's pastry rum, which is probably why AriMom bought that bottle better part of a decade ago—and how I've been nipping off of it whenever I'm home for Christmas, making midnight eggnog, for that same better part of a decade.
Whatever. Enough recipes in Heaven to keep you fat and toasty. If they have nutmeg, hooch, and dairy, they have eggnog.

I went with the "only my recipe"--not accurate, but the closest.
I think all I've ever had is the pre-made from a refrigerated carton, sometimes with alcohol. But I've rarely had it. For me, the plain drink was something to sip a few times. It was good that long, then I didn't really want any more. It might have been partly the nutmeg, and partly an excess of vanilla.
At its best, it's kind of like very diluted custard mix.
If I were to drink something like that again, I might try an Orange Julius. Here's a basic search.
There are many variations. But the kind I occasionally had, long-ago, was basically orange juice, milk, egg, and flavorings.
Anyway, good luck, whatever you decide.

Properly made it can be sublime (not the supermarket stuff). But you must understand that it's really a liquid dessert with alcohol, not so much a drink in the usual sense.

This could take on - liquid sticky toffee pudding with alcohol anyone?

Cheers!
And Happy New Year!
I bought the eierlikor today and it's not at all bad - so long as you drink plenty and think of it as liquid pudding as Timothy suggested.

Of course eggnog is like a pudding because that is where the origins lie - eggnog is a descendant of posset and drinking eggnog warm is harking back to warm posset for chills and colds.
