Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and butter.
Heat the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg.
Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sift the powdered sugar lightly over the fudge for a festive, frosted look.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about an hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut it into 1-inch squares and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
