The Holiday Cream
Glide 87401 Eggnog is the warm, slightly golden cream of holiday eggnog — a cream with the specific cozy warmth of the holiday season. Slightly warmer and more golden than standard Cream (20001) and close kin to Buttermilk, it reads as the warm, festive cream of Christmas sweaters and holiday table linens. For Christmas and winter quilts where the cream or white should feel warm and cozy rather than bright and cool — that cooler position belongs to Blizzard — Eggnog is the most seasonally appropriate Glide cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Eggnog differ from Buttermilk?
Both are warm creams, but Eggnog carries a touch more golden richness — the nutmeg-warm cast of the drink — while Buttermilk is a cleaner, country-fresh cream. On holiday fabrics with gold accents Eggnog blends better; on everyday farmhouse creams, Buttermilk is the quieter neutral.
Is Eggnog or Blizzard right for a winter quilt background?
They anchor opposite temperatures: Blizzard is the bright icy white of fresh snow, Eggnog the warm cream of firelight indoors. Snowy scene fabrics and cool winter palettes take Blizzard; cozy cabin-Christmas palettes with reds, greens, and golds take Eggnog.
Will Eggnog show against white areas of a Christmas print?
Against pure white it reads as a faint warm line, which can look intentional on cream-heavy prints but slightly dingy on optical whites. If the print mixes both, match the dominant background — or quilt whites in white and cream areas in Eggnog for the cleanest finish.
