McCormick and Milk Bar: A Festive Culinary Collaboration

As the holiday season approaches, McCormick® has joined forces once again with Milk Bar®, the iconic bakery known for its innovative treats, and its acclaimed chef, Christina Tosi. This collaboration is set to transform traditional holiday flavors into something truly magical and memorable.

This year, home cooks can look forward to an exclusive creation: the Eggnog English Toffee Cookie. Combining the rich flavors of classic eggnog with the delightful crunch of English toffee, this limited-edition cookie is crafted with premium McCormick ingredients, including Ground Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pure Vanilla Extract, and a special English Toffee Finishing Sugar. According to Christina Tosi, the Eggnog English Toffee Cookie is a fresh take on holiday classics, aiming to inspire creativity in the kitchen. Christina emphasizes, "Holiday dishes are all about those little secrets—the personal touches and the unexpected flavors. McCormick is my go-to for making those moments come alive."

These cookies will be available for purchase at participating Milk Bar locations from November 28 to December 31, 2025. As part of the festivities, December 4 marks National Cookie Day, when individuals can claim a complimentary Eggnog English Toffee Cookie at specific Milk Bar outlets starting at 10 AM local time (while supplies last). The participating locations include:

• - NYC Flagship: 1196 Broadway at 29th St., New York, NY 10001
• - Washington, DC Logan Circle: 1525 15th St NW, Washington, DC 20005
• - Los Angeles: 7150 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046
• - NYC West Village: 74 Christopher St, New York, NY 10014

But the excitement doesn't stop there! McCormick and Milk Bar will also host a unique one-night event called The Cookie Confidential on December 4, 2025. Guests will be welcomed into a secret speakeasy in New York City, where they will experience creative cocktails derived from the cookies. This immersive experience promises to be like no other, featuring cookies such as the Eggnog English Toffee Cookie enhanced into an Eggnog Martini, the Candy Cane Pretzel Bark Cookie turned into a Candy Cane Martini, and a classic Snickerdoodle Cookie transformed into a Snickerdoodle Cocktail. Reservations for this exclusive event will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, releasing at 12 PM ET on December 1, 2025, via McCormick.com/TheCookieConfidential.
