Ingredients

For the eggnog glaze:

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease the bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth and slightly frothy.
Stir in the vegetable oil and eggnog until fully combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the eggnog mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the cranberries.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the eggnog bread cools, make the eggnog glaze. Mix powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the Christmas eggnog bread before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to bring your eggs and eggnog to room temperature before starting the recipe, or they won’t blend well and could create an uneven texture in your finished bread. You also want to avoid overmixing the batter, or the loaf will turn out tough instead of tender!
If the top of your Christmas eggnog bread is browning too quickly, you can cover the loaf with a sheet of foil while it finishes baking.
Make sure your Christmas eggnog loaf has cooled completely before adding the glaze, or it will just sink into the crust.
