Day 3:  Eggnog Shake and a Smile

Here is a recap so far of the 12 Days of My Mug and Me:
Day 1: Favorite Coffee Shop Drink
Day 2: Anyone Care for a Cuppa Tea?

Today’s travels take me to a very well known fast food burger joint known all over the world for their golden arches and french fries – McDonald’s.

Every year around this time they come out with a very special shake. I could not wait to take My Travel Mug on a little field trip. Because not only does the Mug work great with hot ingredients it can also keep things mighty cold.

What’s in the Mug?

A wonderful combination of ice cream and holiday cheer – A McDonald’s Eggnog Shake.  If you love Eggnog then you must go out this holiday season and enjoy one, it is fantastic!
