Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

If you are adding alcohol, pour in the rum or bourbon and blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the vegan eggnog to a pitcher or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the nog to chill.

Serve chilled and enjoy your festive vegan eggnog!
