In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally until the milk mixture is heated through but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan and whisk constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the dark rum. Mix well to evenly combine.
Pour the hot chocolate mixture into two mugs.
Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy Jack Sprat Après Ski Slammer!
