Egg nog ice cream with some sort of roasted chestnut sauce... so maybe caramel?

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.
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...
riffing here...
Lots of those can be a savory addition to roasted beasties.
Thanks, those are some good options!
I think the most Christmassy smell of all is a couple dozen cloves shoved into an orange.
