Christmas Milk: "The Elves' Favorite Drink" Christmas Milk is essentially a high quality eggnog, a smooth, creamy libation that simply tastes like Christmas. The company was founded in 2010 by Heidi and Shane Fausel, parents to four adopted children. The mission of the husband and wife team is to help children in foster care find their forever homes, and a portion of all Christmas Milk sales are do- nated to state programs that sup- port this goal. In addition to the original Christ- mas Milk, the company also offers three Christmas Milk Ice Creams, including French Vanilla Eggnog, Choco- late Swirl and Sea Salt Caramel Swirl. All three flavors are based on a classic eggnog recipe, swirled with additional ingredients and then whipped into a luxurious melt-in- your-mouth consistency. Despite their distinctly Christmas pedigree, Christmas Milk ice creams are available all year long. Christmas Milk products are available at a variety of retail estab- lishments, including Albertson's, Kroger, Central Market, Pete's Fresh Market, Piggly Wiggly, Rouses and more.
