Make your holidays bright with this light, frothy holiday nog. Made with nondairy milk, sweetened with dates and maple syrup plus a hint of vanilla and spices, it offers lots of festive cheer with no saturated fat, cholesterol, or added sugar. A bit of cardamom makes it reminiscent of a spiced chai latte. Serve this nog chilled or warm. You can make up a batch several days in advance, but give it a whirl in the blender just before serving for extra frothiness.
