Contributed by: News Canada

Rum puts the traditional spirit Into your holiday season (NC) - The holidays conjure up images of delectable feasts, delicious sweets and fun times spent relaxing by the fire with friends and family. And rum has long been a key ingredient in making the holidays memorable.

Many traditional holiday favourites feature the special taste of rum. There is a reason eggnog is only sold around the holiday season, and it is the addition of rum that makes it especially festive. Historically, eggnog is said to have received its name from the term "nog", which is slang for rum drinks and makes it one of the most popular beverages consumed during the holidays.

When it comes to deserts, the long standing favorite is rum cake. Whether enjoyed at the end of a meal, or served to guests stopping by to visit, rum cake is guaranteed to satisfy.
