Like frozen drinks in summer and cider in fall, eggnog is one of those drinks that has a very specific season attached to it. And since the holidays are rapidly approaching, Three Olives Vodka (the same evil geniuses behind rosé vodka) have a new vodka flavor that's ideal for the holiday season.

Launched for the first time this year, the limited-edition vodka is "a twist on tradition" that you can indulge in "without the holiday guilt," per the company. It's 60-proof, with 30 percent ABV. You can drink it hot or cold—and with a splash of cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, it'll taste just enough like the real thing to get you in the holiday spirit.
The biggest draw here is the calories you'll save, if we're being honest. On average, a cup of eggnog has 210 calories, 20 grams of sugar, and almost 11 grams of fat, according to USDA data. Three Olives Eggnog Vodka has 70 calories per fluid ounce (105 calories for a shot, which is equal to 1.5 ounces).
And per Three Olives' description, it sounds pretty sweet: The taste "starts with a whipping cream taste while bakery spices, like allspice and cinnamon, increase over time." It also features undertones of orange peel and caramel.
The new holiday vodka is available nationwide and retails at $17.99 for a 750-mL bottle. You can find stores selling it near you on Three Olives' website.
