OK, if I were going to make some kind of Xmas dish out of roasted chestnuts and eggnog, what third flavor would tie it all together? Goose comes to mind, but presents logistical difficulties. Suggestions?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Egg nog ice cream with some sort of roasted chestnut sauce... so maybe caramel?
Is caramel christmassy? I want another Christmas flavor. Not necessarily sweet.
Caramel seems festive. I mean, the dish could skew savory but it's easy to take it to sweet.
If I go sweet, peppermint seems most iconic flavor. Although that might overwhelm everything else.
I wouldn't mix peppermint and egg nog.
What about a chestnut & egg nog Xmas pudding?
Let's see... iconic Christmassy flavors... riffing here...
Hard sauce, egg nog, nutmeg, peppermint, gingerbread, cardamom (my family makes this: [link] ), cloves, cinnamon, mulled cider, mulled wine, dried fruits in fruit cake and mincemeat...

Lots of those can be a savory addition to roasted beasties.
Thanks, those are some good options!
