Oh man! Can you get regular Silk? If so, can the store you get it at order it for you? I'm sure if they can get one flavor, they can get another.....
Hope you get to try it! I'd ship you some if it didn't have to be kept refrigerated!

I guess I will have to wait and see how long I'll have to wait. Last year my husband had to buy it for me from the store by his work and then it wasn't available till after Thanksgiving. I love that stuff though.
And don't forget the Celestial Seasonings holiday teas. I love Candy Cane Lane and Shell I blame you . Actually thank you.

I can get regular Silk, but if you saw the size of the store I shop in - it's a little bigger than a convenience store! - you'd understand why I have my doubts about them ordering it. But I'll ask anyway - no harm in that!

This stuff is fantastic in coffee. I put half soy "nog" in my mug, mike it for 30 seconds, then add coffee. OMG, it's every bit as good as Starbuck's nog latte!

P.S.: No comment about the coffee, ya heah?

Found this recipe from BH&G and I think it sounds YUMMY! I added 3 substitutions: for the eggs, melted butter and using Silk Nog in place of the regular eggnog....not sure if they would work, if they don't can you recommend something else? The eggnog icing sounds great!
Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Baking magazine: Eggnog Quick Bread
A very tasty offering from the Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Baking magazine. It tastes a bit like eggnog, but mostly like nutmeg and almonds. Either way, it's yummy and looks pretty as a hostess gift or buffet table dessert.
You can bake it in one 9-by-5 inch loaf pan, or in two smaller loaf pans (approximately 7- to 7 1/2-by-3- to 4-inches). Smaller loaves will bake quicker than larger ones, so begin checking them for doneness after about 25 minutes.
Once the icing is set, it will stay put on the bread, so don't worry about wrapping it up as a gift or for transport.
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 25 to 50 minutes, depending on pan size Yield: 1 or 2 loaves, about 12 servings
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (or you can use dry ground nutmeg) 2 eggs (substitute with egg whites or Egg Beaters) 1 cup sugar 1 cup eggnog (Silk Nog) 1/2 cup butter, melted (1/2 cup Canola Oil) 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp rum extract, optional 1 cup slivered or sliced almonds, toasted Eggnog Icing (recipe below)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan, or two 7-by-4-by-2-inch loaf pans (sizes of smaller pans vary; use whatever pans you have that approximate these dimensions).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, eggnog, melted butter, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in the toasted almonds.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake a 9-by-5-inch loaf for about 45 to 50 minutes; bake 7-by-4-inch pans about 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf -- it should come out clean. Cool in the pan(s) on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan(s) and cool completely on a rack. Drizzle with icing, then let icing set completely before wrapping loaves.
Eggnog Icing 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/4 tsp vanilla extract Dash freshly grated nutmeg 2 to 3 tsp eggnog
Combine sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Stir in enough eggnog to reach drizzling consistency.

I'm mixing my evening dose of acacia into a mugful of Soy Nog, and then nuking it for 90 seconds and grating fresh nutmeg on it. It's creamy and *filling*!

The only change I'd suggest is to use applesauce in place of half the oil to lower the fat. Yum! I've been meaning to try an eggnog bread, and this may have to be the one!
