Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s finally socially acceptable to buy a jug of eggnog that will probably sit in the back of your fridge until spring cleaning comes around.

While it’s certainly the typical slice-‘em-up flick, the last seven minutes or so offer a compelling twist to the norm.
