Do Italians drink egg nog also during the winter holidays?

Question

In the U.S. egg nog is a seasonal food/drink. It is only sold usually during Thanksgiving and Christmas time. I was just wondering if it's something they drink in Italy also.

Thanks!

Answer 1

No they don't drink eggnog.  They have two special holiday cakes around the Christmas (Buon Natale) season.  Pan d'Oro and another one.. oh what is it called?  It has fruit, like a fruit cake.   Trust me, the Pan d'oro is best.

Answer 2

i never drank it...it isn't a very common thing here...

about sweets are pandoro (golden bread) and panettone (big bread).

pandoro is best i think, pandoro is from milan and is filled with   raisins  and candied fruit...

new kinds of pandoro are filled with different creams: cream, chocolate, limoncello cream...

my mum at xmas do a tiramisu using pandoro... it is the best!!!
