You could use the Coffeemate Holiday Creamers. They have peppermint mocha, pumpkin spice,eggnog,etc.

What about gingerbread cupcakes with cream cheese or lemon or orange spice frosting?

What about a red white and green theme? White chocolate cupcakes with dried cherries or cranberries inside and pistachio icing? (I had these flavors in a biscotti together and it was delish!)

I gotta say, the pumpkin spice coffee creamer idea sounds tasty. There was a show I TiVo'd on the Food Network on jelly filled cupcakes . . . I haven't watched all of it yet but it gave me some interesting ideas. Maybe you can check this show out?

If you use the pumpkin spice creamer, also replace the oil in your recipe with pumpkin puree. Your recipe will be fat free, incredibly moist and fabulous, and have an extra little punch of delicious pumpkin flavor. mmmm.

hmmm...

btw, has anyone made an eggnog cake? replace the water with eggnog? I was thinking of this on my way home from work yesterday. I don't particularly care to drink eggnong (too thick cold), but I sure do love eggnog stuff - eggnog fudge, eggnong cookies, starbucks eggnog lattes...

yummy! I am obsessed with pumpkin from sept. to dec., but the eggnog obsession kicks in around mid november, I think!

Never made one but found several recipes via Google. It sounds yummy though.

Eggnog creamer in spice cake balls is wonderful - also White chocolate eggnog truffles in dark chocolate cups is a great way to end dinner
