It really depends on whether you will also be cooking, and thus working with pointed objects, and flame.
Assuming that you'll only be sitting and watching football, I'd recomend a real holiday eggnog....not that stuff that you get in the dairy case.
6 Eggs
3⁄4 Cup sugar
1 Pint heavy whipping cream
1 Pint milk
1 Pint light rum
Dash of aromatic bitters
Freshly grated nutmeg
Finely julienned zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until stiff; beat the yolks until a creamy lemon color. Fold 1/4-cup sugar into the whites; beat briefly until dissolved. Fold 1⁄2 Cup sugar into the yolks and beat until dissolved. Mix whites and yolks together. Combine the milk, cream, a dash of aromatic bitters, and rum. Fold this combination into the egg mixture. Allow to sit, refrigerated at least one hour. The mixture will separate, forming a head. Sprinkle generously with nutmeg and scatter zest over the top.
Serve with smoked, toasted almonds. Will spoil the dinner of 12.
