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:
