Can You Freeze Eggnog?

Yes—eggnog can be frozen if it’s the commercial, pasteurized kind; the USDA’s consumer chart lists “Eggnog, commercial” as freezer-safe for up to 6 months (0°F / −18°C). Homemade eggnog should not be frozen, and both types must be kept cold: 40°F / 4°C or below. Always check labels and use pasteurized eggs.
